The Office of the President of FDC
   Si's large desk dominates the wall ahead of you.  Behind it are
tall windows which allow you to see the well-manicured lawn and bushes
of the White House grounds.  The wall to your left is lined floor to ceiling
with bookshelves.  Glancing right you note many file cabinets and a small
table with two chairs.  Files are stacked on one corner of the table.  You
could try to 'peek' into the top one.  The floor of this oval-shaped office
is covered with a thick, dark blue rug with the presidential seal in its 
center.  While waiting for your chance to speak with Si you could 'sit' in 
one of the chairs opposite her desk, or, if you're feeling especially nosy, 
you could 'pick' a drawer in one of the cabinets to try and open.
You could:  [Re]turn to the White House Hallway   Enter Si's [Pr]ivate Office

Si waves hello!
ChefLouis stops laughing, as he realizes that he's the only one still _near_
the thing...
Quackerjack exclaims, "Hi DW!"
CL grabs Darkwing and hugs him senseless.
MacBadger says, "Yeah....we're over here..."
Si nodnods.
MacBadger says, "Behind the desk..."
ChefLouis looks around helplessly and grabs his cleaver.  "Mommy?"
Duck has arrived.
A deliveryperson pulls up, drops a package in your lap, and speeds off. You
excitedly rip it open and find that someone has sent you...DUCK!
Si growls, "Or under it! ;)"
Duck bows to all. :)
Si waves hi to Duck!
The _nojump property has been set.
Quackerjack exclaims, "Still doesnt work...I *knew* I shouldnt have used that
cheap foriegn plange!"
Si hmms as lag hits.  "Did you bring it in, Duck?" ;)
Quackerjack says, "ER--phlange. Whatever. :)"
MacBadger says, "Whatever..."
Duck hopes not...I usually bring only Jabberwocks. :)
ChefLouis asks, "Err... can you... fix... it?  Please?"
MacBadger is lagging rather nicely now...

> look Cherny's teddy

No, not a plush bear... it's the outfit he likes to run around in when not on
duty at the BGC HQ.  Hmm.  Who would have thought pink was his color?

Quackerjack says, "It hasn't DONE anything...yet."
MacBadger says, "Then make it do something...."
ChefLouis says, "Hmmm.  Very true."
Quackerjack exclaims, "OH! I think I've fixed it."
Darkwing quacks, "Be careful what you ask for."
ChefLouis backs away cautiously.
Quackerjack sends his giant teddy bear to *HUG* the heck out of Duck, Darkwing,
MacBadger, Si, and ChefLouis!
Quackerjack asks, "See? That wasn't so bad, now was it?"
Si grins as she squirms away.
MacBadger says, "If you don't mind cracked ribs..."
ChefLouis grins.  "How...  er... sweet!"
Duck hums along with "Interplanet Janet" in real life.
Quackerjack says, "Now lemme fix the OTHER switch..."
Duck says, "That's one scary bear."
The _nojump property has been removed.
MacBadger has disconnected.
ChefLouis exclaims, "That's me!"
Quackerjack says, "Oh, I guess we need to go now..."
ChefLouis (:
Si cocks her head, "Town hall?"
Quackerjack presses a button on Teddy, and the bear returns to his normal size.
Duck asks, "Chef who? Oh. ;)"
Quackerjack picks up the mechanical teddy bear.
Darkwing quacks, "No, we're holding the show here this week."
Si pins her ears and hisses, "Page her"
Darkwing quacks, "Far be it from me to force an established crowd to move."
Quackerjack asks, "Here?"
ChefLouis laughs.
Si cocks her head, "Why not? I have the drinks and munchies here. ;))"
ChefLouis sits in the chair before anyone else gets it.
Duck nodsnods. And napkins with the presidential seal!
Si laughs. "Hey..."
Si shrugs and just jumps up onto the desk and lays down. ;)
Duck lolls on the presidential couch.
ChefLouis goes to skritch Si behind the ears... and then thinks better of it.
Quackerjack says, "I've got a sort of couch..."
Quackerjack presses a button on Teddy, and the bear grows to tremendous size!
Quackerjack orders Teddy to lie down.
Quackerjack sits on Teddy's furry stomach.
Darkwing quacks, "Okay, you all know the drill.  If you don't, page me and I'll
explain."
Quackerjack says, "Not much room left in here..."
Si cocks her head, "Uh, drill? I don't have any powertools here..."
Quackerjack offers to go get one.
ChefLouis has a cleaver... will that do?
Si cocks her head, "Maybe in Megavolt's office?"
Quackerjack says, "Uhm...I know he has a sabresaw in there.."
Darkwing quacks, "Maybe the ESPoD?"
Si cocks her head, "ESPoD?"
Darkwing quacks, "Duck asks 'If you were a Schoolhouse Rock jingle, which one
would you be, and why?'"
Si grins
Darkwing stage-whispers to Si, "Electroshock Paddles of Doom."
ChefLouis hmms.
Si ooos! 
MacBadger has connected.
Fleebo has arrived.
You hear the Cat's theme from Peter and the Wolf. That can mean only one
thing... Fleebo is playing her clarinet.
Si heh heh hehs (innocently)
Duck hugshugs Fleebo!
Fleebo huggles all!
ChefLouis says, "Probably Conjunction Junction.  But, I really like the Adverb
song from Sesame Street."
MacBadger grrrrrrs at his server.
CL grabs Fleebo and hugs her senseless.
AbisMal has arrived.
"OK, make way!  Stone-hearted ex-thief comin' through!"  That gruff voice can
only one thing:  AbisMal is in the room.
Si gives Fleebo the secret smile of CRnDD.
MacBadger walks over and gives AbisMal, Fleebo, Duck, Darkwing, Quackerjack,
Si, and ChefLouis an authentic Scottish Plaid hug!
Fleebo gives Si the secret smile of CRnDD.
Quackerjack sends his giant teddy bear to *HUG* the heck out of Fleebo!
Fleebo grins... let me guess. The last question was from Duck?
AbisMal says, "Frankly, I'd've prefered Town Hall..."
Darkwing nods at Fleebo.
Si pins her ears and hisses, "Feel free to go there."
ChefLouis asks, "You enter a very dark room / and sitting there in the gloom /
is Dracula / How do you wave goodbye? / Immediately, Immediately, Immediate -
ly."
Duck sings, "Schoolhouse Ducky, a chip off the block, of your favorite
Schoolhouse, Schoolhouse Duck!"
MacBadger loves that song! :)
Quackerjack likes "Captain Vegetable" from Sesame Street. :)
AbisMal yells, "I'm here for GtK, *Madam President* (he says those last two
words thru clinched teeth)!"
Si sings 'I'm just a bill...'
ChefLouis ratifies Si.
Darkwing quacks, "Calm down, Abis."
Duck asks, "Si is Bill?"
Si whohoos! :)
Si is a cat, and a bill... you do the math.
Darkwing blinks at Si.  "When did you join No Doubt?"
MacBadger uses a line item veto on Si.
Quackerjack examines Si. "But I thought she was a CAT!"
Darkwing quacks, "And does that mean I'm Opus?"
MacBadger yells with a thick accent, "ACK!"
Quackerjack considers that.
AbisMal asks, "Shall we get on with this, please?"
Si flicks her tail at QJ.  "What else might I be?" ;)
Duck watches the hairballs fly.
Fleebo sits quietly trying to catch up...
Quackerjack says, "Actually, the guy who did MY voice was Opus. :)"
Fleebo mews, "Whaaaa...?"
Si pins her ears and hisses, "Abis, let DW run his own show.  You are a GUEST
here.  Act like one."
Si grins.  "He did Opus', too?"
AbisMal clinches his teeth again...but does his BEST to maintain himself.
ChefLouis pats Fleebo on the head.  "Just ride with it. ;)" :)
Duck nodsnods...Get To Know, aka Confuse the Fleebo.
Si grins at Fleebo.
Quackerjack nods to Si. Michael Bell. Whadda guy. He was Handy Smurf, too...
Si LOL "Smurfs..."
AbisMal mutters, "You were a guest of the Mer-Table...look what happened...
Si whispers, "Ask CL which smurf he'd be. ;)"
Darkwing quacks, "Abis, would you like to leave?"
Si pins her ears and hisses, "Abis, one more comment and you can go elsewhere."
Si pins her ears and hisses, "We are TRYING to have fun here"
Darkwing ahems.  Again.  "Here's the next question for our featured guest, this
from Si:  'If you were a Smurf, which one would you be?'
Quackerjack afk's...
Si winks at QJ, "Whereever would I have gotten that question?"
ChefLouis says, "Papa smurf of course.  Then everybody would take my word as
gospel, even if I said that black was white. ;)"
ChefLouis says, "Plus I get a cooler hat."
ChefLouis (:
MacBadger says, "And nifty pants..."
Si grins.  Plus he gets Smurfette? ;)
ChefLouis whistles innocently.
Si :P
Darkwing quacks, "Abis asks whether you've met Ariel, and if so, what you
thought of her."
Quackerjack says, "And you'd always get to blame your failures on Mother Earth
and Fathe rTime."
ChefLouis says, "RL: If only. ;)  <hubba hubba>"
ChefLouis says, "OOC: Only on the MUCK.  But I think she's really great. ;)"
ChefLouis says, "IC: Not yet... I'm kinda avoiding the confrontation.  After
all -- she talks to her food."
Darkwing quacks, "MacBadger asks whether you *really* have to go to your aunt's
birthday party on Friday, or whether you're just blowing him off."
Si whohoos! "I finally saw pictures of her and others! :)"
ChefLouis LOL.
Si grins at Macb!
ChefLouis says, "Really."
Quackerjack says, "*I*'m just blwing your party off, macB. :)"
MacBadger grins.
ChefLouis wouldn't miss a chance to serve Vegetarian Special -- made with Grade
A Vegetarians!
Quackerjack says, "Mmmm. :)"
Si grins.
Darkwing quacks, "MacB also asks what your favorite cereal is."
Gusto has arrived.
ChefLouis says, "Oooooh... that's a hard one."
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Si waves hi!
Darkwing nods to Gusto.
Gusto waves to y'all.
Duck waves to Gusto. :)
Quackerjack greets the bear. :)
MacBadger has disconnected.
ChefLouis says, "Either Golden Grahams or Apple Jacks.  But Count Chocula is
_just_plain_cool._ :)"
Si heeheehees and eyes MacB.
Darkwing quacks, "Duck:  What would go into a ChefLouis Chef Salad?"
Duck takes this moment to tell everyone ChefLouis isone of your best bets for a
Boston tour guide.
Quackerjack asks, "...You don't wanna make it happen with the Cap'n?"
Aquata has arrived.
A foam-crested waves sweeps in toward you, depositing Aquata gently beside you
before receding again, leaving no trace of its existence but the mermaid now in
your midst.
ChefLouis says, "Eeeeeeew... that sounds perverse."
Si waves hello! :)
Aquata waves. I may be idly.
AbisMal the Stone-Hearted draws his sword and bows, deeply, to his
Queen/patroness.  He then awaits permission to rise.
Duck welcomes Aquata. :)
ChefLouis waves to Aquata.
Quackerjack laughs!
Si pins her ears and hisses, "Welcome to my humble office. :P"
Quackerjack says, "heya Aquata. :)"
MacBadger has connected.
MacBadger kicks his server again.
Darkwing quacks, "What's humble about it?"
Si LOL.  "You? Eh, no, that's not right. ;)"
Quackerjack says, "Not YOU, DW."
ChefLouis says, "I'd put mostly fish and crab... er... just vegetables.  Of
course."
MacBadger missed that answer.. :)
Duck grins!
Darkwing offers Si and QJ slices of humble pie.  With whipped cream, no less.
ChefLouis says, "Either Golden Grahams or Apple Jacks.  But Count Chocula is
_just_plain_cool._ :)"
AbisMal stands beside Aquata, not taking her eyes off of Si.
Si pokes DW.  "Cream beater!"
Quackerjack wouldnt take humble pie from DW...
Duck oooohs! Count Chocula, the cereal of my youth.
MacBadger yells with a thick accent, "Preach on brother!"
ChefLouis asks, "Can I get an AMEN?"
Frankenberry says, "AMEN BROTHER!"
Si growls, "Hey! Equal rights! AWOMAN!"
Quackerjack asks, "Would an AWOMEN do?"
Quackerjack says, "ADUCK."
ChefLouis laughs.
MacBadger yells with a thick accent, "A mole!"
Darkwing thinks you're *all* speaking in tongues.
MacBadger shows DW his.
Quackerjack says, "You should get that looked at, MacB. Could be malignant."
Darkwing quacks, "Next question, please?"
ChefLouis asks, "The mole or his tongue? :)"
MacBadger says, "Actually he's a close friend of mine from the willows...."
Si cocks her head, "If you were a question, what kind would you be?"
Quackerjack says, "Well, we KNOW the tongue is..."
SQ
Duck takes the whipped cream from Si's humble pie and plops it in the ears of
the idling Fleebo.
Quackerjack says, "Not a "pointless" question, surely."
Si heehees.
ChefLouis says, "A Final Jeapordy question.  I love that show. ;)"
Darkwing quacks, "AbisMal:  How's the weather in Boston these days?"
Si grins and yells, "Good answer! Good answer!"
Darkwing nodnodnods at da boss lady.
Fleebo isn't idling, thanks very much... she's working. :)
Duck remembers strolling the streets of the Back Bay with ChefLouis. Was quite
fun. :)
Duck asks, "Working and mucking at the SAME time? Is it possible?"
Quackerjack gasps! Somebody stop Fleebo! She's gone mad!
Duck asks, "'GONE'?"
ChefLouis says, "Re: The weather -- New England to a T.  I never know what to
wear the next day until dawn. ;)"
MacBadger says, "I thought we had gone over this LAST GTK...."
Quackerjack says, "Oh...never mind."
Duck wonders how one can work with whipped cream in their ears.
ChefLouis says, "Kinda raint today."
Si nodnods to CL.  The storms today!
Fleebo blechs... I meant Muck work, actually...
ChefLouis says, "Er... rainy."
Duck invites all to Alabama, where it's now mostly summer.
Darkwing quacks, "Ditto California."
AbisMal says, "Or Florida, where it's ALWAYS summer."
Darkwing quacks, "MacBadger again, with this question:  If you could break any
bone in your body, which one would it be, and why?"
Quackerjack says, "California can't decide what season it is."
ChefLouis likes the term 'mostly summer' -- makes me think of Princess Bride...
'mostly dead'. ;)
Duck rotfl at the question!
MacBadger yells with a thick accent, "Or Athens....110% chance of rain...
(H-IO!)"
AbisMal says, "None of MacBadger's, I'd hope."
MacBadger says, "Thanks..."
Quackerjack says, "No, that would be redundant."
ChefLouis says, "Er...."
ChefLouis says, "Um..."
ChefLouis says, "Hmmm..."
Quackerjack says, "And Cheffie, you have to prove it by breaking it, right now.
:)"
Si nudges, "Say a whish bone!" ;)
Duck asks, "How 'bout a Milkbone?"
( Si can help you with that... )
Si grins at MacB, "Happy to be of service!"
ChefLouis says, "My Funny Bone.  Then it wouldn't hurt so much when I hit it."
Quackerjack asks, "Are you sure?"
MacBadger glares in Si's direction.
ChefLouis says, "Don't know till you try."
ChefLouis (:
Fleebo will brb...
The goose-stepping claw hammers from _The Wall_ have arrived.
Fleebo wanders off, leaving a famous musical theme lingering.
Fleebo has left.
Si whohoos and loves that animation!
ChefLouis eeks and just saw that tonight.
Quackerjack never did get to see that...
Darkwing quacks, "MacB wants you to give us a rundown of your favorite
things... color, number, shape, Beatle, etc."
Duck laughs!
ChefLouis laughs.
ChefLouis says, "Blue."
ChefLouis says, "42 (of course)"
MacBadger says, "It sucks to be on the 2400 baud line..."
AbisMal has connected.
AbisMal has disconnected.
ChefLouis asks, "What are those 4 dimensional cubes called?  That's my favorite
shape. ;)"
Darkwing quacks, "Hypercubes."
ChefLouis says, "Japanese Beetle."
Quackerjack says, "Deathwatch Beetles are cooler."
ChefLouis says, "Those are the Beetles that congregate in my parents swiming
pool."
ChefLouis (:
Si ehs...
AbisMal spews!
Aquata oks and deidles. Sorry, on the phone with the SO to make sure he got
back OK.
Duck asks, "How is the future prince of Atlantica?"
AbisMal grins.
Darkwing quacks, "And is he ever going to get a character here?"
Duck says, "She's probably keeping him off of here for a reason. ;)"
ChefLouis says, "Other favorites: TLM, Elton John and Billy Joel, UNIX. ;)"
Aquata says, "He's getting over a cold which he appears to have passed on to me
after our visit this weekend. :P :> "
Si grins.
AbisMal says, "Yech..."
Duck asks, "TLM and Unix in the same sentence? ;)"
ChefLouis LOL.
Aquata says, "No, I don't think he'll ever get a character here. He's not big
on Disney (yeah, I know. But he has other redeeming qualities) and he's not a
MU* kind of person either."
Darkwing quacks, "Yet another question from the Scotsman:  Do you chew, tear or
use scissors to trim fingernails?"
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Ah, sickness..the gift that keeps on
giving...or is that fruitcake?"
Darkwing quacks, "Note that he didn't specify your own."
ChefLouis says, "I use a grindstone.  VERY fast."
ChefLouis (:
Duck lol!
Si points CL to her scratching post.  "Works for me." ;)
MacBadger says, "NOW were developin' a 'tude... :)"
AbisMal says, "Thanks for the answers, Louis, but I gotta go."
ChefLouis wires up Si's post to spin at 3000 RPM. ;)
ChefLouis waves.
Si laughs/eeps!
Quackerjack says, "I myself like those nail trimmers meant for reptiles, you
know, the electric ones that actually melt your nails.."
Darkwing lets out a few guttural grunts at the grindpost.
Duck asks, "Does that explain your melted beak, QJ?"
AbisMal , thorugh clinched teeth, says, "And I deeply apologize for my rudeness
earlier, Madam President..."
I love the smell of melted nail in the morning!
Quackerjack laughs!
Si nods to Abis.  "Forgotten.  Have a good evening."
Fleebo has arrived.
You hear the Cat's theme from Peter and the Wolf. That can mean only one
thing... Fleebo is playing her clarinet.
Smells like...
Aquata hugs Abis. "Take care."
Duck rehugs the Fleebo.
ChefLouis Fleebos.
MacBadger walks over and gives Fleebo an authentic Scottish Plaid hug!
Fleebo sighs and smiles.
AbisMal thank Her Mer-jesty and departs...rather quickly...
"Sorry, folks...gotta business to run, y'know."  AbisMal waves to all as he
leaves the room.
AbisMal has left.
Darkwing quacks, "Can we get a question from someone else now?  Preferably
several someone elses?"
Si sighs.
ChefLouis asks, "How long have you been schizophrenic?"
ChefLouis says, "Hmmm..."
Si grins
MacBadger looks around the room?
Duck lol!
ChefLouis exclaims, "Am not!"
Darkwing quacks, "Not *quite* what I had in mind..."
Darkwing quacks, "Quackerjack asks how old you were when you got your very
first sharp object."
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "And when did it end up pieceing my skin?
;)"
ChefLouis says, "Oooooh... good question."
Mr. Banana Brain says, "Can you even remember back that far?"
ChefLouis says, "My parents (ChefLois and ChefLarry) gave me a cleaver for my
first birthday.  <sniff>"
Duck looks at Banana Brain and thinks of Banana Bread.
Quackerjack says, "I'll bet he stole one of the doctor who delivered him's
scalpel..."
Duck rotfl at MacB!
ChefLouis says, "And a pet crab.  But he... died... soon after."
Aquata looks outraged.
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Did the crab have a name?"
ChefLouis exclaims, "You can't prove anything!"
Si covers her moth with a paw, then coughs.  "Coffee anyone?"
mouth
Darkwing quacks, "Si asks what your favorite cold medicine is, and whether
you'll share."
Duck bets Si put that moth in the coffee.
Fleebo purrs, "Moth. That is just so catlike. ;)"
MacBadger grins at Si. 
Si nodnods to Duck.  "Better than sugar!"
ChefLouis says, "NyQuil.  And I'd share if, after taking some, I could walk
more than 3 steps before passing out. ;)"
Darkwing quacks, "Fleebo wants to hear about your typist's piano career."
Darkwing brews up some HC while waiting for the next question.
Say goodbye to your friends and family, say hello to Claus!
ChefLouis playes with a band named Green Line as a keyboardist for about a
year, but otherwise, I play for me.  I';ve written enough for a demo tape
(solo) but I have little to no urge to submit it anywhere. ;)
MacBadger thought he slightly twisted his knee (RL) but it appears I
didn't..whew...
ChefLouis says, "And Green Line did _not_ refer to the Boston train. ;)"
Aquata grins at CL.
Fleebo wasn't thinking any such thing. :) (Naturally... she's a know-nothing
Aussie.)
ChefLouis ers... "That was supposed to be 'played', not 'playes'."
ChefLouis grins sheepishly. <BAA>
( Shaun the Sheep grins at ChefLouis. )
( Djali has arrived. )
Darkwing quacks, "Duck asks 'The world must know - do you prefer boxers or
briefs?'"
MacBadger grins at Duck.
Si chuckles.
Fleebo eeps and wants to be on the side of the world that doesn't know. :)
Quackerjack wonders if Duck means 'to wear'...
ChefLouis eeps.  "I just got an emergency email from my girlfriend...  I gotta
og.  Her 20 page paper has vanished on her computer, and she's not a computer
geek like me."
Duck says, "That's a MacB question, BTW. I'm just the messenger. :)"
ChefLouis answers briefly.
ChefLouis (:
ChefLouis says, "Sorry, all."
MacBadger Whistles.....
Si winces.  "Good luck finding it!"
CL grabs Fleebo, Aquata, Gusto, Duck, Darkwing, Quackerjack, MacBadger, and Si
and hugs them senseless.
Fleebo hugs Cheffie!
Quackerjack fwaps ChefLouis!
MacBadger says, "Well...that's a good stopping place as any... ;)"
Quackerjack says, "Bye Cheffie..."
ChefLouis says, "You can mail me more questions, and I'll post the answers to
flash. ;)"
Duck waves to ChefLouis. Tell your girlfriend hi for me!
ChefLouis nods.
ChefLouis exclaims, "Bye!"
Darkwing nods and leaves the log running, if y'all wanna hang out.
CL hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home...
ChefLouis has left.
Si laughs at MacB, "Depends on how well you know him. ;)"
Si hmms.  CL leaves and things die. ;)
Quackerjack wonders is Si REALLY means that... :)
Quackerjack says, "er--if. :)"
Si LOL!
Fleebo purrs, "But while he's here, things live in little pieces..."
MacBadger says, "Nothing like 'Sexual Healing' on the radio to get things
going.."
Gusto is still alive... somewhat...
Aquata wonders how soon the logs are put up on the page, DW?
Duck sings "Do the Circulation" along with his Schoolhouse Rock CD.
Darkwing quacks, "Probably later tonight.  And I e-mail them out at around the
same time."
Fleebo arrghs and holds her head in her paws.
Aquata wows. Speedy. :>
Duck bwahahahahas as he puts a song into Fleebo's head for the rest of the day!
Darkwing shrugs.  I edit it and FTP it up.  Updating the index page takes all
of 1 minute or so.  :)
Aquata whispers a particularly insidious suggestion in Duck's ear: That
godawful ditty they play at FAO Schwarz. :P
Gusto holds up a CD player.  "Be nice or I'll play "It's a Small World""
Darkwing threatens to sploosh the CD player.
Si tosses the keys to DW.  "I gotta get going folks.  Thanks for coming by. :)"
Gusto shows DW that it's one of those waterproof models.
Quackerjack offers to sploosh ANY player.
Duck doesn't think he knows what that is, Aquata...Closest FAO to us is in
Atlanta. The smiling tree gets a little spooky after a while, though. :)
Fleebo sings `Cows With Guns' again to get rid of these tunes.
Si pokies DW.  "Lock up?"
Aquata says, "I can't go near an FAO Schwarz without having "Welcome to our
World of Toys" stuck in my head for three days after. :P"
Duck sings, "Come do it, circulate! Out through your arteries, in through your
veins!"
Fleebo blinks...
Aquata says, "It's WORSE than It's a Small World."
Si steps through the large wooden door and into Si's private office.
Si has left.
MacBadger says, "Bye Si."
Fleebo purrs, "No... I don't believe it, Aquata..."
Quackerjack agrees with Aquata.
Quackerjack says, "Later, Si. :)"
Fleebo huhs at guests who don't want to visit.
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Not that you could forget..but why give
you the chance to? Mousqerade party Friday..."
Duck says, "Oh, Fleebo, you'll be happy to know that Schoolhouse Rock Live! is
returning to Birmingham next week. :)"
Fleebo grins at MacBadger... you're really plugging this party, aren't you?
Gusto sighs and probably won't be able to attend any events on Friday.
Duck says, "Yes! The party! I gotta make a costume."
Quackerjack sighs and WANTS to go, but can't.
Quackerjack says, "Duck, you ARE a costume. :)"
MacBadger says, "You aren't alone QJ..."
Gusto says, "Largely because my PC will be disassembled and sitting in a
laundry basket, which will be in the trunk of my car..."
Duck bows. Thank you!
Aquata has to finish rewriting her paper this weekend so is not likely to make
it to the party.
Gusto says, "Somewhere between Norman, OK and Des Moines, IA..."
Fleebo laughs at Gusto. Hmm... what you need is a car modem.
MacBadger says, "Just make sure you Ok it with your date first Duck.. ;)"
Quackerjack exclaims, "Hey! That's the reason I can't go too, Gusto! Wow."
Duck grins at MacB. No worries. I've been suggesting costumes to my date. ;)
Darkwing would buy laptops for Gusto and QJ.  If he were rich.
Darkwing blinks at Duck.  "Date?"
MacBadger grins at Duck.
Duck nods. :)
Gusto looks at Fleebo.  "If you can get me a good deal on a pentium-equipped
notebook PC, a PCMCIA modem, and a cel phone with data jack I'll be glad to."
Gusto says, "Better get some voice-recognition software while we're at it..."
Darkwing quacks, "And who might that be"
Fleebo grins... uh... well, I can but try, Gusto...
MacBadger points to Fleebo.
Gusto says, "I may need my hands for driving."
Gusto grins.
Fleebo waves shyly.
Quackerjack says, "Do a tandem costume. :)"
Duck laughs. Now there's an idea!
MacBadger is bringing the wife..
Quackerjack exclaims, "Ah, that's boring, macB! :)"
MacBadger says, "And the daughter too, probably.."
Fleebo grins.
Duck thinks Fleebo could be Tweedleflee, and I could be Tweedleduck.
Fleebo laughs at that! Interesting concept... :)
MacBadger LOl!
MacBadger says, "And for those that will be missing this one...I'm sure I can
schedule another something or 2 before I leave in June..."
Duck hmmmmms...Or I could dress up like a cat and Fleebo could be a duck. ;)
Darkwing quacks, "Or you could dress up like an Aussie and Fleebo could be an
American."
Quackerjack says, "If Iw re gojng, I'd want to be Quackerphoenix, or
Splatterjack--can't decide which."
Duck asks, "How 'bout an '80s party, MacB? Come dressed as a denizen from the
'80s...or your characte r in the '80s. :)"
MacBadger says, "We can do that..."
Darkwing nodnodnods at Duck!  I could be Max Headroom, maybe.
Fleebo shudders...
Duck oooooohs at Darkwing! Yes!
Quackerjack exclaims, "Agh! If it's eighties I *really* want to go. :("
Gusto asks, "M-m-m-max H-h-hh-headroom? ;)"
Darkwing quacks loudly, "Y-y-y-you know why ZikZak burgers come in styrofoam
containers - they rub off <rub off> on the burgers and *d-d-double* their
nutritional value!"
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Duck...would YOU like to be in charge of
this 80's thing? :)"
Gusto grins, and is already his favorite character from the '80s. :)
Duck grins. Sure. :)
Darkwing hmms.  Maybe Max ought to be Max Headroom, though.
Darkwing quacks, "Duck, can you think of any 80s icons who dressed in purple a
lot?  (And no, I don't particularly want to be Prince... :)"
Duck hmmmmmms....Grimace?
Gusto :)
Darkwing quacks, "Try again."
Quackerjack has to go cram for two finals he has tomorrow. Later!
Quackerjack presses a button on Teddy, and the bear returns to his normal size.
MacBadger says, "Thanks Duckers...'I need a break from hosting..""
Fleebo caterwauls, "See you, QJ!"
Quackerjack waves
Fleebo giggles at MacB. You do it so well... ;)
Quackerjack Quackerjack revs up his Gas-Powered Pogo Stick noisily and it
launches him over the horizon and out of sight.
Quackerjack has left.
Duck hits a lag.
MacBadger says, "Years of practice, lass.."
Fleebo purrs, "Yeah, take it out on the lag..."
Darkwing amputates FDC Official Duck (All of Them)'s lag.
Duck will probably come to an '80s party wearing some of his favorite clothes
from the '80s. :)
MacBadger whispers to Duck "And I hear that Fleebo, is a pretty good
hostess..."
Fleebo blinkblinks and wonders who's been spreading false rumours... :)
Duck grins. :) I'll test that in November. ;)
Wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean, say no more, say no
more.
Fleebo grins and @baps spoofer.
Fleebo wrote out her leave forms today... I am taking a _lot_ of holiday time
at the end of this year...
Duck yays!
Djali has arrived.
Hey, there's that goat again!
Djali zoinks!
Fleebo doesn't think that she actually has that much, officially...
Duck asks, "Have you talked to any more travel agents, Fleebo?"
Duck hugs the goat thing.
Fleebo hugs Djali! :)
MacBadger pets the family pet.
Djali mmmmmmmmmmms.  >:D
Darkwing quacks, "And what will *you* be for Duck's 80's party, Djali?"
Fleebo sighs... I'm not the one with the itinerary. I think that I should steal
it.
Duck says, "Hey, Djali, something weird you might be interested in. At my
computer at work, I haven't been able to get netscape.com for days."
Djali blinkblinks? at Darkwing.  I still *live* in the 80's.
Duck hands Fleebo a pencil with a very big eraser for that itinerary. :)
Gusto waves at Djali.
Fleebo purrs, "I think that your computer at work is just weird, Duck."
Gusto does too, Djali. :)
Darkwing grins.  "Should we make him an honorary duck?"
Djali hmmmms at Duck.  Try running 'traceroute home.netscape.com' and that
should tell you what's sticking.  >:)
MacBadger yells with a thick accent, "The 80's are over?!"
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Since when?"
Duck should go play his '80s music. Scritti Politti anyone?
Gusto says, "January 1, 1990... or so they tell me."
Gusto says, "But I don't believe them."
Djali sneakily points Duck's browser to www.80s.com.
MacBadger chooses not too..
Belle has arrived.
Belle waves!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duck grins at Djali and shows him his links page on his web site. ;)
MacBadger walks over and gives Belle an authentic Scottish Plaid hug!
Duck waves to Belle!
Djali hee hee hees!
Belle grins.
Fleebo caterwauls, "Hello, Belle!"
Djali points Duck's browser to the 80's channel on www.thedj.com then.  >:)
Duck scribbles that down...
MacBadger suggests some 'Men at Work' for Fleebo...
Darkwing plays "Who Can It Be Now".  Mm, 80's music *and* Paranoia.  Coolness.
Gusto digs out a CD with a spiffy Kajagoogoo song on it...
Djali gets a lightbulb over his head, accompanied by a faint 'ding' noise.
MacBadger nods at DW. "Like, totally.:
Djali like, fer shures!
MacBadger Arghs....
Gusto can just show up as himself, as he was intorduced to viewing audiences
everywhere in '86... >:)
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Soooo...any other topic of discussion?"
Fleebo sighs and had better get back to work. Or back to her desk, at least.
Djali has one!
Djali stands on Fleebo's desk.
MacBadger arcs an eyebrow and asks, "Yes?"
Belle picks up the scrap of paper and reads it.
Fleebo hughugs all! :) See you later. Um... Djali... I really do have to do
some work... :)
Duck hugshugs Fleebo!
Belle laughs
Djali thinks we should do something special for Light Magic.  May 24, right?
MacBadger walks over and gives Fleebo an authentic Scottish Plaid hug!
Fleebo hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling her home...
Fleebo has left.
Djali gets goat hoof prints all over Fleebo's paperwork.
Belle is going to Light Magic!
Djali awwwws.  >:)
Darkwing shrugs and will be at the AP premiere next Tuesday night :)
Gusto will try to see it this summer... hopefully...
Belle is going to be at the premiere too... ;)
MacBadger won;t be going anytime soon...
Duck will brb.
You hear odd music, and a conga line dances through the room. Duck jumps up,
joins the end, and boogies right out the door!
Duck has left.
Djali looks at the clock on Si's desk.
MacBadger yells with a thick accent, "Well lads, and lasses, it's time for me
to get going to bed. See (most of) you Friday!"
Belle looks at the clock on Si's desk.
Darkwing waves to MacB.
Gusto waves
MacBadger walks over and gives Belle, Djali, Aquata, Gusto, and Darkwing an
authentic Scottish Plaid hug!
MacBadger goes home.
MacBadger has left.
Aquata has disconnected.
Grimsby has arrived.
Grimsby stumbles into the room looking tired and disheveled. "I had a little
trouble with the fireplace," he mutters as he looks for a place to rest.
Djali (Bond, Djames Bond) hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him
home...
Djali has left.
Grimsby says, "boo"
Grimsby says, "whassup"
Gusto says, "Not much, it seems."
Belle exclaims, "Hiya Grimsby! Just mailing people..."
Grimsby has disconnected.
Belle yawns
Darkwing offers cups of HC all around, if anyone is awake enough to notice.
Darkwing quacks, "I guess not."
Belle says, "sorry... was in another screen"
Belle graciously accepts the HC... :)
Belle smiles.
Quiverwing has arrived.
With a *puff*, a cloud of green smoke appears, and a voice says, "I am the
arrow that strikes at the bulls-eye of Crime!"  A feminine form emerges from
the smoke, and you behold Quiverwing Quack!
Quiverwing Quack exclaims, "Greetings, Good Citizens!"
Gusto waves.
Belle exclaims, "Hi QuiverWing! "
Belle asks, "save the city from any villanous foes today, Quiverwing?"
Quiverwing Quack says, "Nah...it's been pretty quiet."
Belle says, "well, don't worry, maybe it will pick up later..."
Belle smiels
Belle smiles, even
Quiverwing Quack says, "I'm just doing too good a job.  Evildoers don't dare do
evil while I'm around."
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #34:  Peace is good for business.
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #35:  War is good for business.
Belle laughs
Darkwing waves and heads out.
