Wow. I wish I could get into hockey like that. I’m not Canadian, and I really don’t want to be a a magician.

I don’t know how I managed to concoct this, but **Nightwatch Trailer** is a guard for Area 51 who lives (actually hides out) in a small camper next to the Black Mailbox.

Man, I wish. How cool would that be? Unfortunately, the reality of my life is much more mundane. I had to steal my name from a movie (and if you know the movie, give yourself a cookie).

I can see **Really Not All That Bright** sitting in front of a monitor in his underground lab, sniggering at the brilliance of his idea to use his screen name to lull the world into a false sense of security before unleashing his Master Plan.

**flamingbananas** …I’m not gonna touch that one.

Couldn’t you have kept that one between us? A quick e-mail might have sufficed. You might even have found a place in my cabinet. Next to the liquor or cups, probably… but now, you must **pay**!

As long as you are not giving my _under_ the desk job away, I am ok with working with **Nightwatch Trailer**.  
Speaking of **NwT** , he is a big, mean guard at a ladies mental instution.

Hmmm…you got the brown hair right, and I kinda like some punk…

**Misstee** is a curvy, energetic redhead who is definitely too young for Kilt-wearin’ man to be caught noticing (jailbait?) but _yowza…_

If it makes you feel any better, I pictured you as an old fashioned “glamour star” ala Marilyn Monroe (Myrna Jean, NORMA Jean).

With a name like Zamboni, the hockey imagery just works. Y’see, **The Great Zamboni** wears full hockey gear, with the addition of a sparkly gold turban and a cape. He can tell your future - as long as your future includes checks, cross-checks, high-sticking, iceing, or (if you’re lucky) a hat trick or two.

Even before I saw **vunderbob** ’s post, I was thinking:

**flamingbananas** – A pastry chef at a fancy French restaurant, whose specialty is a sundae flambe. Oh, and she can play bass quite well, though she prefers shortstop. 🙂
