Jeez, **Coldy** shoulda been back by now. Did someone tip him off? ---

He’s probably just off buying a really big-ass gun to “teach us a lesson with.” I say we all get the Hell out before the waiting period time is up! Except you, Hamlet. You can stay. \ Sorry, man. It’s for the good of the boards. ---

\ Do **not** , and I mean do not go to the sub-basement. It’s a pit, filled with water and 'gators… **well-fed**'gators and something else. What kind of animal makes a sound like “take-a-lily”? You don’t suppose that the 'gators are fed with banned posters, do you ? ---

I’m starting to worry that we won’t have this place back to ship-shape by the time **Coldfire** gets home. I wonder if he’s ever coming back? ---

I say we clean it, because Coldy is probably out buying us fabulous presents, and he won’t give them to us if we don’t at LEAST bring it up to minimum Board of Health Standards. Or, we could bribe the board of health! ---

OK, so I just returned the empties to the store. I think we should buy something nice for **Coldy** with the $2000 I got for them. ---

You have _any_ idea how many empties it takes to make $2000??? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > \*\*You have _any_ idea how many empties it takes to make $2000??? \*\* Well, Ginger, I just did the math, and you’re right. We drank WAY more than that! We’ve got at least 3 grand from Whammo alone! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > \*\*You have _any_ idea how many empties it takes to make $2000??? \*\* **I know that !** But I had limitations : First, by what the vehicle could carry safely, Two, by what was the maximum the store would accept, Three Hi, Opal (hiccup)🙂 There’s **at least** enough empties to make the trip five times ! ---

I think **Astroboy** drank more than **Whammo**. Mind you, he was hitting the bong pretty hard, so I could be mistaken. ---

Are you talking, **Hamlet**? That means that you’re still capable of movement. And when you’re capable of movement, that means that _somebody’s_ duct tape needs to be tightened! ---

OK, there’s not enough of us to clean it up, there’s about 10 grands of empties. What to do, what to do ? Hummmm, I’ve got it ! Let’s cash in the empties, buy more booze with it, announce a party here and whoever shows up has to help clean up the previous party, before his/her own partying. What do you think ? ---
