The Straight Dope Mercenaries

::Nicklz walks out of his bunker with his towel around his waist and his guns pointed at Gartog::

As he quickly snaps his head towards Sterra, Jester and with an almost annoyed, joking tone says, “what the hell is all this about, somebody has some serious explaining to do, but first would someone tell me whether or not to blow this Gartog guy away or not.”

“Gesh, you guys intrupted a very relaxing hot tub soaking”, as he glances at Hardygrrl with a little smile

Naw, Nicklz, he’s mine.

<Walks over to Gartog, who stands in stunned fear, and hits him across the face with the butt of the Big-Ass Gun>
