I don’t know which route to take, Shadowfox. I can’t open the file UncleBeer sent. Waaaaah! But kidnapping Shirley sounds like a marvelous idea. Hehehehehehe… * * * This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here. ---

All right you guys need some directions I see. I write some up and e-mail them out today. Trust me though, you want to take US 23, not I-75. Sucellus and I are in a 'burb just west of Toledo. ---

Should we just start driving toward Toledo, and look for the smoking pit surrounded by police tape, with a really honked-off looking weasel running around it? * * * This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here. ---

Don’t forget the Wesson oil & plastic sheeting! And how about some ring bologna? And yes, if you’re going to have mango-anchovy-jalapeno salsa, you must have Peeps. What did you think we were going to dip in it, Oreos? Geez. Heathen. * * * This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here. ---
