cups of coffee this morning?

When I set off an explosion, I use that phrase as a warning because,
corny or not, people recognise it for what it is. Unstylish? Sure.
But it works. They get down in case any big chunks go flying around.
Can happen: since when was demolitions on an unknown structure an
exact science?

Style points for windows? Could care less. I don't want style points,
I want into the building. And thanks for the advice to use magic. I'll
try that next time <g>. In fact, I'll try it now.

"Window, disappear!"
"Ala-Kazam!"
"Abracadabra!"

Nope. Rabbits keep jumping out of the wastepaper basket, but the window's
not doing anything. Guess I stick to explosives and shouting "Fire in the
hole!".

Speaking of holes, there was a *virtual* hole there. I just made it a
*real* hole. So there.

What I do works and I enjoy doing it. You two go for more flash and style:
fine, it works for you and you look good in the process. Hate to admit it,
but you do.

Do 20th-century antique firearms count as "outmoded"? I make my own ammo, if
that helps, and I only use cased stuff...

Why do you ask about the purple-polka dot jeans, by the way? If you want
to borrow some, my pair went at the knees a while ago, but if Jenna can
fit into them she's welcome to them.]<<<<<
