Oh, yeah, the bitterness is showing now.

I’ll have you know that I wasn’t wearing a hospital gown. And it “Heartaches by the Number,” in the key of J.

That’s right, it was just me and the intravenous, and I was a hit, wiseguy.

In fact, after that they gave me my own room with a lock on the outside.

Eat your liver, Tex!

And nice quilted, down padding on the walls.

You weren’t wearing a gown? God, I’d hate to see what you were using for a tuning fork.

I took down all of what Wally said: Coldfire knows a lot of music, Formula 1 racing, international finance, speaks four languages, yadda yadda yadda…

I came up with the only logical solution, after a few beers and tequila shots, and the realization hit me in the gut like a day-old Subway sandwich.

SPY!! Coldfire’s an international SPY!!

Having entirely _way_ too much time on my hands, I called the toll-free number to the CIA and asked to be transferred to the Turn In A Spy For Freedom and Democracy hotline. When I finally got a human being, he quickly took my phone number, name and address after I proudly told him my conspiracy theory about Clog Boy. I casually mentioned, with an air of mystery :), that he might be behind all those crop circles and why the Bills lost all _four_ Super Bowls (coincidence?..I think not!).

I’m casually waiting for my next call from the Feds so I can supply them with more Coldfire info. Looking out my window I can see they’re already attaching a “protective detail” consisting of 2 men in black suits driving an unmarked car. This is probably to protect me from Coldfire’s secret organization. Don’t let his goofy, casual nature fool you. I think I really stumbled onto a great international conspiracy here.

Yeah, Coldfire (if that’s your real identity!)just wait ‘til they come knockin’ at your door and take you down. I even gave the CIA Wally’s SDMB info so we can split the large reward money. Yup, who’s laughing now Clog Boy!! 😃

Oh great. Now I’ll have some drunkin’ Mountie riding a moose trying to thwack me with a hockey stick so he can collect 15 purple dollars with a picture of a turkey on them.

You need a better grocery store. I can get Swiss chocolate at my grocery store. Of course, you’re right. Not a wall-full of European chocolate.

Yeah, Coldfire is a bastard. 😃  
I wish I was him. (Or lived on his side of the pond. At least for a while).

Actually my little brother has a lovely view of Windsor Castle from his flat. He’s a bastard too.

I can get from the Mountains to the sea in 3 hours here in Maryland, which is good.

Good one, Seal! Collapsed laughing on that one…

Now, Wally [said in nasal, patronizing tones], you know you don’t hate Coldfire. Just because he’s a young, virile, yowlin’, prowlin’ sack of Continental charm. So he has fast cars, fast women and legal drugs.

[drumroll]

It has been reported…_on good authority_! that he wears clogs to bed. Yes! Now wouldn’t THAT make a postcard! Numerous lusty young ladies have complained of severe bruising and splinters (Clogess Interruptus).

There…feel better now??

Ha ha ha! Look at weirddave! He looks funny!

Look at the shiny red bump on weirddave’s head!

Look at weirddave staggering around.

Stagger, weirddave, stagger!

Oh no. Weirddave fall down, go boom!

See Cristi sneak away.

Sneak, Cristi, sneak!

Well I was ready to brave the “putz” rifle for you on this one CF. Turns out I do not have to. Whew. Wally, that was scary.
