Makes me glad my college education included
"informal locksmithing" as an unofficial
extra-curicular activity ;) You too can learn to do
that 20 second thing, it takes about an afternoon
of practice.

Well, shit, guess what he used, huh? A cut up Coca Cola plastic
bottle. I'd tried a cut up ice cream box.. pretty close, but too
bendable; folded double it was too thick. *SIGH*.

On *ANOTHER* off topic note.. how would you feel if you got a phone
at midnight.. it's your parents telling you they'll be over for a
visit tomorrow. (Which looks like it might be the year's most hectic
day, with a RPG session planned for the evening... slightly
ambivalent?
