<Jacie> @ = Hades (Fred & Drax)
<Dr10> #::The Dr leans over the strange jury-rigged a bit greasy console trying to pilot this most unusual TARDIS.::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish blinks his green eyes trying to listen to the very annoying barely understandable voice:: 
<Dr10> #::A large viewscreen built into the wall of the console room showed them approaching a red planet.:::
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred opens the door from the console then sneaks past Drax to the door:::
<Dr10> #Not a very hospitable place, Irish, is this strange machine saying anything to you?
<IrishTCat> # Maker  Something about an energy barrier ..  
<AlxKeegan> @ :::She pokes her head thru the door, taking a look outside::
<Dr10> #We need to approach with great care, energy fields are very high.
<Dr10> #::The Dr twists a dial and a small display pops up in mid air in front of the Dr::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish cocks his head at an angle :: We have to go in at an angle.. 
<IrishTCat> # Or so I think .. 
<AlxKeegan> @ ::the street lights are dim, barely casting enough illumination to see by:::
<Dr10> #Yes, some sort of energy field at the south pole, not a friendly sight, but I think we can slip in at an angle, let me see....
<AlxKeegan> @ ::Fred creeps out of the TARDIS, closing the door behind her:::
<Dr10> #::The Dr furrows his brow, and then punches some data into a small handset:::
<AlxKeegan> @ :::above her she can see a protective dome, thru which unfamiliar stars can be seen:::
<Dr10> #Well, let's seee how this works. Let m,e know if this TARDIS tells you anything else useful, Irish.
<AlxKeegan> @ :::as she walks down the path, she sees ships flying past::::
<IrishTCat> # As if I understand what it is saying .. 
<Dr10> #::In a strange variation of the Type 40 materialization sound, the TARDIS of Drax wheezes and shimmers into existence at its destination.:::
<AlxKeegan> @ :::her mouth drops as she sees one of the ships crash into the dome and burst into flame:::
<Jacie> <test>
<Dr10> #::A loud thump reveerberates.:::

<AlxKeegan> @ ::::the other ships pass safely thru a single point in the dome::
<Dr10> # Not such a bad landing for such a poorloy control time capsule.
<Jacie> @ ::the sound of multiple boots bangs toward Fred, some stumble erraticlly but the heaviest marches straight toward her::
<Dr10> #::The Doctor looks at the viewscreeen::: Yes, looks like a busy space station scene. Hmm...
<TheBrig> @ ::Moans and stirs on the TARDIS floor amid the wreckage of an old chair:::
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred steps closer to the side of the path as she hears footsteps approaching::
<Jacie> <Had my line copied and then it erased it.>
<TheBrig> <weirdness>
<AlxKeegan> <I'm finished setting up the scene, I'll brb, got to bring Kojack in>

<Jacie> @ ::a half dozen male figures, walking in a V behind a tall earing-toting man, traipse down the alley swearing, laughing and drinking::
<Dr10> #Well, Irish, let's find out who and what these "squids" are, shall we?
<TheBrig> @ ::Mutters:: The Prince Albert and step on it
<Jacie> @ Bix>Didja see the look on 'is face? I bet he wet his pants. ::gulps another drop from his long-neck bottle::
<IrishTCat> # I dont want to find out these squids are .. 
<Dr10> #:::The Doctor straightens his lapels and feels through his coat pockets as he steps to the door.:::
<Jacie> @ Dirk>Stupid git. Bout time that bartender was taught who's boss around here.
<TheBrig> @ ::Slowly awkens and tries to sit p::
<Dr10> #Irish, you know how vvulnerable I am without you.
<Dr10> #::The Doctor exits::
<Jacie> @ Bix> ::laughs:: Nice of 'im to give us the free samples. I doubt he'd be crossing you again Py.
<TheBrig> @ ::Tries to focus what must be a least three sets of eyes:::
<Jacie> @ ::Bix reaches out to slap the tall man on the shoulder, misses and stumbles into him instead::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish follows :: It will be unpleasant.. 
<Dr10> #=in a broad space station thoroughfare, with a red sky flowing around above the enerrgy barrier:::
<Jacie> @ Py>::throws off his underling with a snarl:: You keeping drinking that hooch and you'll be the one to 'wet his pants' by the time I'm done with you, Bixner-A!
<IrishTCat> # Meow Moew Meow .. ::Irish looks around wrinkling his nose:: Lots of different smells .. 
<Dr10> #::The Dr looks up:: I would have to agreee.
<Jacie> @ Dirk>:;squints ahead:: Oy, Py what's that? ::points ahead:: By that blue box?
<AlxKeegan> <I'm back!!>

<TheBrig> <wb>
<Jacie> @ Bix>::sees the unmistakeable shape of a woman:: It's a chit. A darn pretty one too. ::leans forward lecherously::
<Dr10> #Black>:::Points a laser sword at the Dr::: I would skewer you as soon as look at you, my myusterious Squid!
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish looks around ::  I am not named Cat Amari .. I am Irish .. 
<Jacie> @ ::Py blocks his underling with a hard arm across the chest then stalks toward the girl::
<Dr10> #::The Dr scowwls:: I am not a ssquid, if you please, and i prefer to be introdduced before being accused, if you don't mind.
<IrishTCat> # Maker Do you know him ? 
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred sees a veritable horde of skankily dressed males approaching her:::
<Jacie> @ ::he glares down at her from his giant 6 foot height, with a bald head, dark eyes, a pointed nose and a long gold chain danging from his ear::
<Dr10> <Fat fingers = ddouble letters>
<Jacie> @ Py>::smiles a toothy grin:: What ya be doing here, sweet thing? Lost?
<Dr10> #Never met the man, Irish.
<Jacie> @ Bix>I'll help her find her way. ::hiccups::
<TheBrig> @ ::Helps himself to stand using the TARDIS console:: Well, seems like you've pulled it off again. :::eyes pile of broken wood and pieces of ropes:: Blast! ::Picks out a good size piece of wood and tucks it into his boot::Always be preapared:: Pulls cuff of oveeralls over the makeshift billy club and sneaks out the door::
<IrishTCat> # He doesnt like you.. 
<AlxKeegan> @ Well, I'm not lost, in that I know I'm on a planet.
<Dr10> #Please stop threeatening me with tthat weapon, sir.
<Jacie> @ Bix> Ya here that, ::calls to his compadres:: She's on a planet.
<Dr10> #Black> A what kind of fleea-biten puke green rogue cat is that you have? A pathetic pet. I should put it outt of its misery.
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish expands in size :: Dont threaten Maker with that over grown laser pointer .. ::growls :: 
<Jacie> @ Dirk>What was your first clue, babe? No floating?
<AlxKeegan> @ That and the curvature of the horizon.
<Dr10> #Black> Engarde! ::swooshes laser sword around towards Irish::
<TheBrig> <At last vengeance for the Maker nick :-) >
<Jacie> @ Bix>Aye, I can imagine the kind of floating she'd do. Look at that... curvature boys.
*** TheBrig is now known as DraxNADW
<Dr10> #Black> I am not fooled, those halographic propjections can't hurt me, you are still just a little pussy cat!
<DraxNADW> <Dooh>
<Jacie> @ ::a ripple of hungry laughter reverberates throughout the group of ruffians::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish springs into the air and pounces on Black :: 
<Jacie> @ Py> ::ignoring his brethren:: Where's your man?
<Dr10> #Black>:::Taken by surprise he is knocked off balance by Irish and loses his grip on his sword and falls heavily on the floor:::
<IrishTCat> # You are in for a surprise then .. ::growls :: 
<Dr10> #Black> :::Slides away from Irish and bounces to his feet, immediately springs towards Irish and lands on his now huge back:::
<Jacie> @ Bix>She ain't got no man, I bet. He'd have her on a leash. If I had a woman like that, I sure would.
<AlxKeegan> <I'm back, had to watch the Harry Potter commercial>
<IrishTCat> # I am hungry and he looks tasty :: Irish drools on Black :: 
<DraxNADW> <lol, wb>
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred frowns, trying to catch the gist of what the males are saying::::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish spins around trying to throw Black off :: 
<AlxKeegan> @ My guardian says I'm not old enough to have a man.
<Dr10> #Black> ::Hangs on for deear life, fearing that if Irish gets his claws into him he is dead meat.::
<Dr10> #Black> I say mate, you are quite a cat, care for a treaty or truce between us?
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred senses a nasty undertone to the remarks and decides to try and bluff her way out:::
<IrishTCat> # Get off me ::Roars :: 
<Jacie> @ Py>::grabs her chin and tilts her face to the light:: Your guardian, eh? ::surveying her, pulling her face left then right:: I'd say you were plenty old enough.
<AlxKeegan> @ I'd end up getting him killed, like the others.
<IrishTCat> # No ! You said I was a fish !  
<IrishTCat> # Then you called me flea bitten  .. 
<Jacie> @ ::Py lets go::
<Jacie> @ Dirk>Get him killed? ::voice laced with alarm::
<Jacie> @ Bix>Yeah, I can just imagine how he'd die. I bet she--
<Dr10> #Black>Please, have mercy on me! :::pulls out a small plasma dagger and rakes it along Irish's furry back:::
<Jacie> @ Py>Shut up Bix!
<AlxKeegan> @ Oh yes, my guardian is always complaining about how men are always dropping dead around me.
<Jacie> @ Bix>Yes ::hiccup:: sir.
<Dr10> #::The Dr scrambles over and takes the laser sword into his hand and fires it up, onlyy as a blufff device, of course.:::
<AlxKeegan> @ He says if he weren't ancient, he'd probably drop dead himself.
<Jacie> @ Py>And who would be this guardian?
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish rolls over :: You burned my fur  !!!! 
<Dr10> #Black> ::Is very afraid and wide-eyed as he sees that the laser will not cut into Irish, but just peel away part of his fur, as if the body itself was protected by an energy field.:::
<AlxKeegan> @ He calls himself the Doctor.
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish blinks out of existence to reappear a few feet away :: 
<Jacie> @ ::wind whirls around them suddenly as a VWOORP VWOORP sound overshadows Fred's words::
<Dr10> #:::Black lets go and rolls away from Irish, immediately springing to his feet.:::
<AlxKeegan> @ What's that?
<Jacie> @ ::instantly the men turn shades of white::
<IrishTCat> # He burned my fur Maker  !!!  ::Irish seems paniced :: 
<Dr10> #:::The Dr leaps between Irish and Blackeye and levels the ominous laser sword at their attacker:::
<Jacie> @ ::Bix drops his bottle while Dirk shouts and points into the distance:: SQUIDS!
<Dr10> #Yes, not a very nice thing to do, sir, to viswitors and guests, and we don't even know who you are or why you have brought this state of evvents upon yourself.
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish shrinks down in size and twists and turns to try to see the bruned spot :: 
<Jacie> @ ::Py looks toward the noise, then shouts orders at his men complete ignoring their little find::
<Jacie> @ Py>West Quarter, NOW! ::starts tearing a path down the alleys and zigzagging out of sight::
<Dr10> #Black> :::Dusts himself off and looks anxiously at the Doctor and the laser sword, and then at Irish.:::
<Jacie> @ ::his men follow after him, albeit with smaller steps and more panic::
<AlxKeegan> @ ::Fred looks around trying to spot the obviously-giant-and-menacing-sea creatures:::
<DraxNADW> @ ::A hand appears over Fred's mouth and a whisper is in her ear:: You can live or make noise, choose quick.
<Dr10> #Black> I am called Blackeye, after my obsiddian optical here, but I see plenty with my one eye, thank you, enough to make me suspicious of Squids like you.
<AlxKeegan> @ :::She starts to run off after then, only to have....:::::
<IrishTCat> # I dont like this one Maker .. If humans didnt taste so awful I would in fact take great pleasure in devouring him.. 
<Jacie> @ ::the vwoorp vwoorp sound grows louder atop a distant building as a shape begins to shimmer into view::
<AlxKeegan> <put that line before Drax's>
<Dr10> #Easy Irish, he may have something to tell us.
<Jacie> <change distant to nearby building>
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred decides she wants to live and keeps very still and quiet:::
<DraxNADW> @ ::Hides with Fred behind a rusty dustbin::
<Dr10> # Listen Blackeye, I am the Doctor and this is irish. We are not squids. And why would you think we would be?
<IrishTCat> # Hrmmmph.. All he has done so far is make threats , insult us , and maim a poor innocent feline .. 
<Dr10> #Blackeye> Are you kidding? You travel in this strange machine, you appear out of no where, and after you arrrive people vanish forr good.
<AlxKeegan> <the soundtrack cd for the buffy musical goes on sale sept. 24, in case anyone wants to know:-)>
<Jacie> @ ::the column shape materializes into view, a bright gleaming marble statue towering above a building less than 50 feet from the Doctor's TARDIS::
<DraxNADW> <Oh well :-/>
<Jacie> @ ::one by one, a group of 6 figures, 5 in long robes and one with a short one, step out of the column::
<AlxKeegan> <I haven't watched the episode since thanksgiving, so the tape of it was really cool, Cody>
<Dr10> #Dr> Listen, we are not Squids. We are here looking for a friend named Fred, who was kidnapped by a devious charaacter.
<Jacie> @ ::the one with the short robe, steps onto the rooftop edge, points a glowing device then points toward the west::
<AlxKeegan> @ :::Fred's eyes widen as she watches the figures step out of what appears to be a TARDIS::
<IrishTCat> # We havent made any one vanish.. We are tracking down a Kin of Maker's .. He borrowed our Home .. 
<Dr10> #Black> Well, there are lots of devious characters around here, so you should feel at home. Did you have a namee for the kidnapper?
<Jacie> @ ::the figures quickly descend a ladder, enter the street and follow the same path as the ruffians::
<Jacie> @ ::their leader, lingers behind just a moment in the alley::
<Dr10> #Black> ::Rubs his chin as he watches Irish speak::: Is that so?
<Dr10> #We are looking forr a vagabond known as Drax.
<Jacie> @ ::the hand instrument beeps frantically, then silences::
<IrishTCat> # As if I would bother making up a story for a fur burner such as yourself .. 
<Jacie> @ ::the figure shakes its robed head and follows after his companions leaving the alley empty again::
<Dr10> #Black> ::: His eyes light up and he smiles, letting out a laugh.:::
<DraxNADW> @ Those are "Squids" little bit, and they're after me. But if you think they'll hesitate to make sure you are out of the line of fire...well then, maybe you'd be interested in some retirement property on Sontarraus.
<AlxKeegan> @ ::Once the figures have gone, Fred turns towards Drax:::
<AlxKeegan> <put that line before Drax's>
<Dr10> #Black> Vagabond Drax? You are a card, Mr. Doctor, but a friend of Drax is a friend off mine!
<AlxKeegan> @ What are you going to do?
<Jacie> ! = Station Perimeter
<DraxNADW> @ The're bound to do a scan after their little reccie, any TARDIS within a parsec will be a death trap. We've got to get to The Grotto
<IrishTCat> # It makes sense to me that you would be a friend of Maker's Kin .. ::Irish rummbles in his throat :: 
<Dr10> #Black> ::Claps the Dr on thee back and lets out a gufffaw:: Well why didn't you say sso?
<AlxKeegan> @ Can't we hide the TARDIS? And what's the Grotto?
<Jacie> ! ::Py leads his posse in a roundabout circle of the station, over walls, up buildings, and down into the seldom used service bays::
<Dr10> #Black> Dreax is easy to find, he'll be tipping some ale down at the Grotto. It doesn't take extensive surveillance to know that.
<DraxNADW> @ THe Grotto? ::muses:: It's sort of like Rick's Place
<AlxKeegan> @ You mean we'll be meeting Humphrey Bogart?!
<Jacie> ! ::Bix stumbles onto a crate, huffing and puffing:: Just... a ... min..ute... Py.
<AlxKeegan> @ I want to hear Sam play.
<IrishTCat> # We get back from out of reality and everything is completely messed up.. ::Irish grumbles :: 
<DraxNADW> @ ::Smiles at Fred:: Sorry, no :::Mimics "But we'll always have Paris"
<Dr10> #Black> ::Points down the street:: Just a block or so that way, called the Grotto of Lost Souls, a place where the creative connivers go to conspire. You'll like it, I'm sure.
<Jacie> ! Py>We can't stay here. ::growls:: Those damn Squids will have us surrounded before--
<AlxKeegan> @ I haven't been to Paris yet.  Wales was nice, a lot nicer than London, though it wonderful meeting Mycroft and Gutherie and Penelope....
<IrishTCat> # Why am I not filled with optimisim over that statement ?  ::irish looks at Maker :: 
<Jacie> ! ::the 4 robed figures step out of the shadows, completely cutting off the only entrance and exit::
<Jacie> ! Dirk>::reaches for his hand laser:: Blast, Squids!
<DraxNADW> @ :::Does a slow up and down look at Fred:: Mycroft?
<Dr10> #:::The Doctor lowers tthe laser sword, turns it off, and flips the now inactive handle back to Blackeye::: Why, thank you very much for that information, and you seem to have dropped this, my good sir.
<Jacie> ! ::the hand laser is shot from his grasp by the lone short-robed figure::
<AlxKeegan> @ I hope the Doctor's plan worked and those nasty Cabal people leave them alone.
<DraxNADW> @ Hip AND naive! You could make a fortune here, little bit
<AlxKeegan> @ Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes brother.
<Dr10> #Black> ::Smiles cunningly:: Yes sir, right this way, and your *err* lovely cat as well.
<AlxKeegan> @ Sherlock's wife, Mary, was wonderful to meet.
<AlxKeegan> @ I'll take that as a compliment, sir.
<Jacie> ! ::she steps into the light, her hood cascading down, short dark red hair glistening over a shiny leather outfit::
<IrishTCat> # After all everyone knows a Grotto is a bad section of a neighborhood .. No one really wants to live in the Grotto or the Protects .. 
<DraxNADW> @ I thought he never left his club. Oh well ::laughs then sees Fred is serious::
<AlxKeegan> @ Now where is this Grotto and what are we going to do once we get there.
<Jacie> ! It's over Pyrus Gnu. ::says in a deathly cold voice:: You might as well surrender now.

<DraxNADW> @ It's where we're headed and once there I disappear again
<AlxKeegan> @ You will? And what about me?
<AlxKeegan> <I don't see Xena anywhere, do you?>
<Jacie> ! Py>::stands tall:: I'll never surrender to you! Not again.
<DraxNADW> @ Your choice little bit, nobody's after your hide... well not like they're after mine

<Dr10> $:::The Dr walks in cautiously, he sense the many strange currents running through this place, where little is as it appears.:::

<Jacie> ! There are more retrogrades on this planet. In particular, I think I'm picking up the biosignature of... Drax.
<Dr10> $Black> So, Mr.Doctor, are you a long time friend of Drax?
<AlxKeegan> $ :::she senses a familiar presence:::
<Dr10> $ We went to school together.

<IrishTCat> $ Better than being a Super Nova crispy cirtter Maker .. 
<Dr10> $Black> That's hard to believe, Doctor, not to know about the Squids.
<DraxNADW> $ Super Nova crispy critter? :: Stares at the Docotr::
<DraxNADW> $ Finally peers closely at his nose:: ..Thete?
<Jacie> $ Fred> Squids are seafood, right Doctor. They have... lots of tentacles.

<IrishTCat> $ ::Irish sneezes :: 
<Dr10> $ I did not return to Gallifrey, but thaat is immaterial. Who are these Squids and who controls them?
<Jacie> $ ::people shuffle about, some growling at each other, others laughing and then suddenly...::
<IrishTCat> $ I never did like Maker's home .. Not enough cats around ..

<AlxKeegan> Hurray!! Good job everyone
<Jacie> Bravissimo!
<TheBrig> Bravissimo
<IrishTCat> Good job everyone .. :) 
<AlxKeegan> except for me forgetting to change my nick
<Jacie> Excellent job guys. You're making this story come together better than I could envision.
<AlxKeegan> so, did everyone get the pun?
<Jacie> I can see how it goes next week.
<IrishTCat> Hope your book signing goes well Jen .. I will get one when I am working agaun .. 
<AlxKeegan> cool
<TheBrig> ditto jen
<AlxKeegan> yes Jen, sign well and sell lots of books
<IrishTCat> I am not as smart as Irish David  .. I am sure he would have gotten it .. 
<AlxKeegan> I've learned not to try and explain puns
<Jacie> I hope. My black ink is running low and I haven't finished printing bookplates. :(
<AlxKeegan> if you don't get it, then you don't get it:-)
<Jacie> Which pun was that David? I missed it.
<TheBrig> You too, Jen ;-)
<IrishTCat> <<cajon version of Julius Caesar  >> 
<AlxKeegan> line from the cajun production of Julius Caesar
<AlxKeegan> "etoufee, Brutus?"
<AlxKeegan> etoufee is pronounced "eh-too-fay"
<AlxKeegan> it's a play on words, for heaven's sake:-)
<AlxKeegan> I'm not goig to explain it...I'm going to take kojack out to potty again, instead
<TheBrig> Don't worry David " A pun is it's own reword"
<AlxKeegan> I'll see you all next week, have a good night!
<AlxKeegan> thanks Cody:-)
<IrishTCat> Night everybody .. 
<Jacie> Ah, I get it now.
<TheBrig> Night 
<IrishTCat> ::waves :: 
<Jacie> Night David!
*** AlxKeegan has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<Jacie> I suppose I should be going too. Cody, I'll have my mom drop your books in the mail tomorrow.
<TheBrig> I'm so happy yall all seemed to like the packages
<Jacie> I should have plenty now.
<TheBrig> Night Jen
*** IrishTCat has left #whosim
<Jacie> Oh the UNIT badge was GREAT Cody. I real treat.
<TheBrig> Just don't short yourself for your signing
<Jacie> You sneaky little devil.
<Jacie> I got plenty. I got 25 more copies today and still had another 20 or so from the last batch.
<TheBrig> I'll take that as a comppliment :-)
<Jacie> One of my family signings was called off due to rain.
<Jacie> It was a compliment. I was wowwed that you got my picture.
<TheBrig> UNIT has it's sources :-)
<Jacie> Now I have to show you how to make pins. I made a batch of my cover art with one sheet of photo paper, pin backs, a self-laminating sheet, and crafter's goop. Got 30 pins out that.
<TheBrig> With Tuna instead of a tape I sent a book called "Yravel withoout the TARDIS"
<TheBrig> gr Tavel even
<Jacie> You could do an official UNIT/WhoSim pin/
<Jacie> LOL. I bet he loved that.
<TheBrig> It's a travel guide to DW sites in UK
<TheBrig> Hope he gets to use it soon
<TheBrig> Have a good signing
<Jacie> Cool. And brings back lots of jellybabies for us. ;)
<TheBrig> Got another Dr appontment in the morning ::Sigh::
<TheBrig> "The red ones are best"  ;-)
<TheBrig> I'll always treasure the e-mail you sent
<Jacie> Like that, eh? You struck me poetic with the gift. I was truly surprised.
<Jacie> What gave you the idea for it?
<TheBrig> With all that yall have done for me, it's little enough
<TheBrig> Saw a pass surfing and just thought, "Hey I can use paint"   :-)
<Jacie> And you used those self-adhesive wallet packs?
<TheBrig> Wanted to make it look "real"
<TheBrig> \And it also insured they be the right size for yall to carry
<Jacie> It did. Did the keyring come with it?
<TheBrig> Beverly picked them up for me at a craft store
<Jacie> It was funny timing. My mom had just given me a new key for the front door. I had nothing to hang it on.
<TheBrig> 8-D
<Jacie> Cool.
<Jacie> I have to send you some of my little goodies. I've learned to make magnets, bookmarks, booklets, and pins. 
<TheBrig> wow
<Jacie> And I found a place that makes stuff with your artwork on it. I got a nice size poster of my cover art for signings. I was thinking we need to come up with a really good poster image for our sim.
<Jacie> When you start book promotion you learn a lot of skills.
<TheBrig> I'm sure
<Jacie> I bet you didn't know I put together (i.e. edited and formatted) a cookbook with author recipes this summer.
<Jacie> It's a free e-book download on several websites.
<TheBrig> Have a friend that draws calendars who ended up learning all about marketing and T-shirts 
<TheBrig> Where?!?!
<Jacie> It's on my book website for one, and several others.... www.notoriousangel.com
<Jacie> Damn. Ran out of black ink.
<Jacie> And I only had one page to go.
<TheBrig> fantastic, mu sister collects cook books
<TheBrig> hmmm, can you make some "rare" different dolores booklets
<Jacie> Tell her to download a copy. It's in HTML (for printing and transferring to other readers) and MS Reader (for reading on the PC and your handheld).
<TheBrig> ?
<Jacie> Dolores booklets?
<TheBrig> dooooooh
