I have a friend that owned a Yugo. She lived in the City, and was always having the radio stolen out of it. She finally gave up on the car when she realized she probably could have bought a whole new car for the money she was laying out for the radios! smiley - biggrin

Could she not have just not had a radio in it?

Maybe listening to the radio kept
her from going bonkers while waiting
for lights to change?

(Come to think of it, sitting in a Yugo
would have been enough, by itself, to
make her go bonkers)

A compromise would have been to keep a
portable radio that she could keep with
her when she was not in the car.

Next time: We solve the problem of
dark matter.

As I have said many times in many threads and now face to face with many (well a few at least) Thingites. I think your campaign has many wonderful virtues, but I have absolutely no beef with the names of the days of the week! And that furthermore Thursday for a combination of reasons is the best day of the week for me IRL.

You see I could not become a Thingite even if I wanted to. Sorry.
