[QUOTE=Asimovian] Excellent - more fodder for the next LA Dopefest! Welcome, **Oni**! I wish I had run across this thread earlier in the day. I have no idea where I can rent an emu at this hour… [/QUOTE] Don’t worry. There’re a couple of emu farms in the Toronto area. I’ll make some arrangements. [sub]I tell you: if civilisation ever collapses, the wildlife around here is going to get _very_ interesting…[/sub] ---
