>>>>>[ That's not good. My employer wanted to tell him some gibberish.
The
closest I could translate it from Japanese it came out something along the
lines of:

'The midnight hour passes soon. Is it fate or destiny? Threat or lure? It
is your choice.'

Frankly, I have no idea what the guy was getting at, but then again, I
suppose it could be a joke. Oh well, I get paid regardless. ]<<<<<

Shadowfox. Great. Now I feel old.

For the record, an old (dead) friend of mine, I think, used to know him, or
of him, or knew people around him. Denver, last I heard.]<<<<<

Shout your message to the wind, Walked. They will carry it to the right
ears, in time.

As far as the world knows, as far as _I_ know, Shadowfox is dead.

Warriors of the Sioux can be remarkably resilient... but if he lives, none
who know him or care for him will say, and none who claim to know him
alive would be his friend.]<<<<<
