Oh, a Canadian redhead, the Black Hills, and the knowledge that I stole from Dave. Mmm…is there a downside here? ---

I’m not a very docile woman. I’d make a lousy stolen wife. Plus I won’t have babies. ---

Hey, **Ginger** you do have access to **Dave** ’s computer, right? so, you could help ME out then as well? Yes, I know you’d want something for that, how about a regular rescue shipment of the finest Canadian goods you’ve missed! 😛 Or, I suppose I can play the game the old-fashioned way by just TALKING with my opponents. Still pretty fun that way. 😃 ---

I _could_ help, but what’s in it for me? A Wunderbar, some Coffee Crisp, some Tim’s coffee? ---

Get real people! Ginger is not one to be persuaded by mere material posessions. At least not when Germany is offering hard currency. Aside to Ginger - E-mail me to discuss my contribution to your favorite charity. ---

Hard currency? Bah, what is the deutchmark compared to the franc? Don’t make me declare war on you to show you how to truly bribe someone!!! **Ginger** , I knew about the Coffee Crisp and Tim’s, but no Wunderbar either? Truly you live in a deprived country! ---

How wunderbar can it be if it din’t come from the Fatherland? Ok, we will do business in this “American Dollar” until such time as my new world order is in place. So, how many of these funny little “Presidents” would you like. I have vaults full of them. Plus, a place of honor in the 5th Reich! ---

Okay, okay. Cut out the namby-pamby foolishingness around. This is war! Also, the email that I sent out seems to have bounced, so I’ll place it here as well. **Jonmarzie** and I are twin brothers. We have not been married in Canada. :wally: ---

Damn, another Diplomacy game. Well, after my last revolting experience in DopeDip, I suppose I should be relieved that all the slots are filled. Just a simple warning: a lemur never forgets. Remember me, Mr. Schneider? Portugal, 1905. If you’re going to shoot at a lemur, Mr. Schneider, you better be prepared to finish the job. OK, so put me down as first alternate for both games. I think my email is posted, but it is darryl.s at yahoo dot com. ---

Sorry 'bout that. **Rue** is more of a small barn fowl and soggy breakfast cereal guy than he is about strippers, anyway. At least that’s my take. Besides he’ll probably be off on a joy ride in the _Betty_ that day. ---

What if I don’t WANT to leave a message? What then? Huh? You gonna do something about it if we invade? Of course, we’ve got half of our army deployed as well. Hmm.
