>>>>>[Heh. Nice place, Bedlam. Even if ya do eat dandelions. I'm jeest
about packed, and oughta be ready ta fly in about 3 hours.

And hey, ya'll, you ain't gonna believe this. I didn't. But Bedlam
brought pix, so I'd know what ta look fer when it came swoopin' thru.
Had ta digitize it.

+++++INCLUDE: banshee.pix

This is a still-frame photo of a Banshee LAV sitting on a short thrust
cushion in a warehouse. The sides have been layered with simulation
wood panelling, and the whole vehicle has been painted a lovely shade
of Metallic Piss Green. Spraypainted on the starboard side is a
message: HONKY LIPS.

This is what we're supposed to be cruisin' borders in, low-profile.
The family-motherfraggin'-truckster. Can you even believe this? I can
hardly wait 'til the Salish boys getta loada this!]<<<<<

Seeing as how it needed a paint job really bad-like, it was all I could do
to take it into old Earl Schibe Junior's and order up the special. Only
cost me 200 nuyen, can you believe it? What a deal! Suburban
camouflaged...LOL! See ya at the Guttersnipe, chummer.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Whoooopie!! Let's kick this thing in the butt and get it going. I
have to tell you, though. I thought the term "family truckster" was a joke.
I kinda like the woody panels. It makes a statement. Rather ballsie. Not
especially wise, but ballsie. You guys will love the Howling Guttersnipe.
Vinnie, the bartender, is an friend of mine. He doesn't take a bath very
often, but he can pour a brewski with the best of them. I'm packed and ready
to go. I'll bring my stuff with me so maybe we can leave straight from the
Guttersnipe. I'll also bring some road munchies and everybody be sure to go
pottie before we leave. See y'all there. Later.]<<<<<

Muay
Thai and Pentjak Silat <BIG grin>. Hey Crash or Johnny, could one of you
arrange for me to have a really cool time/date stamp like you guys have? I
mean, I've got some skill with computers, but changing that is well beyond my
skill. Oh well. Talk to all of you in a bit. The first round of Capt. Ed's
Chunky Style Home Brewed Beer is on me.]<<<<<
