Yes, and yes. Dang, I was hoping they’d last more than 15 minutes… Alright, time to get dirty… 3.) I’m being blackmailed because my husband died mysteriously. I’ve been invited to this wierd dinner party. (alright, that one should be pretty easy) 4.) I need to get this briefcase for this girl. First, I had to get this obnoxious kid off the team, but now I’ve been betrayed by the computer geek. I could really use the money from this heist, tho; so I’m gonna get it. ---

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > Can I get a _Clue_? Are you “White”? 😛 You are, of course, correct. I picked Ms. White out of the crew because I wanted to say that it took me _years_ to figure out that she is the same actress that played the “Teutonic Titwillow” (Lili Von Shtupp) in Blazing Saddles. Yup, Ms. White is Madeline Kahn. (I got nothin’ on yers, btw.) ---

One night, when investigating the cause of some trouble with my TV reception, I ended up at a nearby powerstation, where I met my future best friend. He was in a bit of a jam, though, and I ended up saving his life. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box, and when he caused a pretty big accident involving a train, I knew I had to help him hide. I eventually took him to this beatnik/artist’s house, but the beatnik wasn’t too pleased (especially after my friend destroyed some of his, um, art). ---

are there any open ones? I am a 20 something “career girl”, not very attractive. My roommate is a party girl (read slut) She got knocked up for the third time, only this time she wants to have the bay. But when the bayb arrives, she wants nothing to do with it, so I take it, and I give it lots of love. Meanwhile, my dad’s boss has proposed to me. Who am I? ---

After I took a message for the head of the auto club, I tried to call him and tell him about it. By some stroke of luck, I dialed a wrong number, and got this incredibly hot girl on the line. How do I know she was hot? She immediately came over to keep me company! However, it was a men’s dorm, and what with one thing and another, I got kicked out, and ended up moving into this old house with the divinely beautiful girl, and her two meddling sisters. ---

Oh, and my older brother is a noogie-giving asshole. Kevin from the Wonder Years??? New – I like to roller skate and I used to like Bobby Sherman, but he is such a BOY! I’m in love with a real man now. He is so nice and has the cutest dog. If only I could think of a way to tell him how I feel… ---

Here’s a little more about me: I may or may not be military. In fact, I may or may not be a whole lot of different things. I did go through interrogation once. They finally broke me with a grasshopper. What’s a grasshopper, you ask?
