Airman Doors has been here a lot longer than I have so I’m going to go with his answer (and trust that he isn’t trying to edge in on my streak by leading me astray 😉 ) B. SUVs ---

All right, you pick someone who you think will know it to help you. People following this along can reply and say “pick me” if they wish (however, please don’t answer unless/until Crazy picks you for the phone a friend). ---

Whoops guess we messed that up a bit 😉 But, had Airman Doors said “Pick Me” I’m sure I would have picked him anyway. ---

Ah, well, seems like you guys already handled it. My comp is pretty slow. Anyway, he’s right, and you’re right to agree. When we come back from this short break, she’s going for 4,000 folks! (I need to go attend a meeting for an hour. But will be back in exactly 60 minutes. Will you still be here? If not, I can wait until you’re on next to finish…or you can just pass it on to another person who wants to play. Either or, Be back in an hour [Sorry! I know I already left this game once, it just seems whenever I’m on, nobody wants to play. Heh]) ---

Sweet Jesus, I’m sorry. I got out and came back and found my roomate on the comp (and it’s HIS comp, so it’s not like I could boot him off). He stayed on until 3 in the morning (I got out of my meeting at 1am)…and I was too tired to stay up. Sorry for the major delay. I’ll be on for about 12 hours…so if you still want to play, we can pick up where we left off. Just reply to this when you’re back on, **Crazy**. And by the way, I hope you don’t mind me shortening up your name like that. If you do, just tell me. ---
