Welcome, can we induce your happy little family to come up here for your next vacation ? Unfortunately, daddy will have to leave his guns at the border **Sunspace** , **Greenback** , do you think they will fall for it ?

They’ll keep his guns at the border, but his SuperPowers follow him wherever he goes. So hah! 😛

And take pictures, too. But for Og’s sake, don’t show 'em to me! Talk about squicky! :eek:

Yes, dear, it does. Now go tuck in your shirt and comb your hair.

Yeah, but I know at least as much about them as they know about me, so that oughta keep them in line. For instance, did you ever hear about the time **DarkButterfly** said to her best friend. . .(to be continued later, _if necessary_)
