>>>>>[Hang on LIster! I'm reviewing 2001 & 2010 right now to try and
find out if we can find a weak spot to Talky via this HAL personality.
Until then.....keep chewing laddie!]<<<<<

>>>>>[The man's being held hostage by a toaster.....I bet he's one of
those people you drink with, isn't he Colin. You and your drinking
lads could barely outwit the bobbbies, so it's really no surprise that
a household appliance has you stumped.]<<<<<

>>>>>[And you wonder why I didn't visit you when I was visiting home.
And we only had trouble with the constable once! We bought the lad
around--make that a round--and all was forgiven.]<<<<<
--Highlander (23:17:41/1-24-55)

>>>>>[You didn't visit bacause you were afraid you'd never leave, and you
know it, laddie. Or should I vacation in Seattle to prove my point?]<<<<<
--Heather (23:18:36/1-24-55)

>>>>>[What, is the legendry Highlander rendered speechless? I've had that
affect on people before, but I usually have to be in the room. You have
been away too long, haven't you?]<<<<<
--Heather (23:30:15/1-24-55)
