**Harimad** : A 2260’s Yeoman outfit. **NCB** : You would think she’d have remembered she sent me one, especially considering I had asked her if she had gotten them yet in _Cease Fire_. Women. :dubious: ---

If anyone needs me, I’ll be raiding the closet. ---

You wouldn’t happen to have any self-stealing stem bolts in that closet, would you? Without them, I’ll never get these isolinear chips sorted in time! ---

My mind is going…I can feel it… Well, now you gots two copies. But I think I signed the newest one. Would somebody check my memory and run a defrag? ---

I got the second one today and it’s sitting on top of my computer, right beside the other one. They make a lovely set. 😛 I thought you were coming by last night, **Harimad**? I wound up [drinking](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=273550) all by myself. ☹ ---

I never made it out of my closet. I was seized by a tall, dark-haired girl who was wearing some of my clothes. She’s only just now let me out again. ---

No, but she did restrain me with capri pants. ---

Wait, what? I invite you to my place for some drinks, you no-show, claiming abduction, and then come out of the closet the very next day? You really know how to hurt a man. ---

It’s not that kind of closet, **Aesiron**. I promise to apologize in an appropriately abject fashion and do your bidding if you forgive me. ---

You’re forgiven. I have a few ales left over if you’re so inclined. I have to work tomorrow but I’m willing to risk a reprimand or five for your company. ---

I am a man of conflict and loss, but also a man of poetry and wisdom. I am accompanied by my kitten, Minerva, to whom I give all my food for I consume nothing but wine. I have only one eye, which blazes like the sun, as my other eye was traded for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, where I gained immense knowledge. My home in Asgard is _Valaskjalf_, where my throne. _Hlidskjalf_, is located. From this throne, I observe all that happens in the fifty states. ---
