I’ll take the basement, but I think I’ll need a scantily clad female to go along with me. I shouldn’t need a flashlight, what are the odds of the power going out?

Well, while **Why A Duck** and **jarbaby** check out the basement, and **Glen Livid** investigates the roller disco, I’m going to check out the kitchen. Any maybe get the obligitory sex out of the way, if I find someone in there.

While you’re checking out the basement, I’m going to go out through the garage and check around the yard. I heard a dog barking ferociously, then a quick yelp, a whimper, and a furry wet-sounding thud. Then silence. I’d better run out there barefoot and unarmed to see what’s up.

Hey, the garage light isn’t working! _flicks switch a half-dozen more times, shrugs, and heads out_

DAMMIT!! You _ruined_ a perfectly good sneak-and-pounce! I almost had her!! ::sigh::

Okay… I’ll take the attic, but I’ll need two hormonally driven teenagers to go with me so they can rut like weasels while I’m investigating.
