The UB is your Grail? You've got a messed up path to follow.

No, it's the Shadowrunner's Holy Grail. The object of many long, mostly
failed quests, an object that could change your (gaming) world forever
(for better or worse).

See what I'm getting at? :)

Errr...it's a play on words, dude.

SIG Sauer is a gun.

.sig represents a signature.

I'm posting to a Shadowrun list.

Think about it.

P.S. Okay, my turn for a stupid question. What's the GUV after
Hatchetman? :)

Ah, I get it. Maybe our GM is easier on us, or we just go preparred for too
much crap, but we always get out ok, even if all that's left behind us is a
smoking pit.

I knew the SIG Sauer part right away (I'll explain in a sec.), but the .sig
in lower case with the period always threw me.

Gunsmith of the Unwashed Village. You play the Interplay/Black Isle Studion
game Fallout? Or Fallout 2? Well, in Fallout 2, there's a random encounter
of some people killing a spammer, that's some of the Unwashed Villagers.
We're Interplay's biggest fans, I guess they wanted to give us something
for our tireless devotion.

Hatchetman, GUV.

Errr...when I said 'long, failed quests', I meant quests to acquire it.
Hell man, I bid $32 American on a copy that was going on ebay and I
still didn't get it. (It eventually went for $45. The original Harlequin
module seems to be the most sought after after UB.)

Ahhh...so you get it...see how clever I am? (Adoration is welcome, money
is appreciated, beautiful women gets you a signed copy of my first book
- when I finally get published, of course.)

Oh, gawd!! That thing? I just sat there with my mouth hanging open
wondering what I should do. So next time it's all right to beat up on
the spammer? :)

The copy of HARLEQUIN that was up on ebay went for $35 bucks. I'll
never see that one again.... <sigh>

Just maybe it's one of those bad plays on words that appear to pop up all
over the place lately? I can't look at an advert or commercial and see
one, it seems :/
