I am amused. Really. This is my amused face.

(Bazookas are highly overrated. Too heavy, and there are many other more efficient ways to do that much damage, if it becomes necessary. And yes, I know you weren't wanting a serious answer to your question, Jamie, but this is what happens when someone asks me about guns.)

Remind me -not- to make jokes like this anymore. They suddenly seem very, very inappropiate.

Angie, people have been making jokes in my general direction about guns and overcompensation for a lot of years now. Sort of goes with the territory. Sometimes, like now, I laugh. Others, I laugh, and do other things too.

And now I'm all awash in nostalgia. I wonder if that bartender in Melbourne's ever forgiven me... I mean, I did send him a cheque for the structural repairs...

Okay. I just did not want to offend.

You destroyed a -bar-?

Not completely... there was still a wall or two standing. Sort of. And part of the roof! Can't forget that.

(Tequila is bad. Bad, bad, bad. But then, surly Russians who question your masculinity when you've had too much tequila are dumb. It all evens out.)

You destroyed -most- of a bar?

Tequila tastes nasty. Why would anyone want to drink it?

Well, it wasn't just me, to be fair... and actually, the SWAT team was very understanding, once we got everything straightened out. After all, they were fond of their guns too.

And tequila tastes lovely, Angie. That's the problem.

I confess to being -very- curious.

Not any tequila I've had. Nasty.

Heh. Maybe when you're older. On both counts: the full version of that story is about a '6' on the Inappropriate-Meter, and tequila is an acquired taste.

Not one I intend to acquire any time soon.

More power to you. As I said, tequila is bad.

*A* bar is accurate, as far as it goes, but it's not the whole picture. At least, not to hear Dom tell it...

Shhhh. I'm playing with the children. Don't interfere.

I'm supposed to be their guidance counsellor, you know. That means I'm meant to steer them away from bad influences, or something.

Carry on.

Why thank you.

And I think I need to start telling stories about Dom, just to even things out. Did you ever hear the one about her, the ballerina from the Bolshoi, Yeltsin's underwear drawer and the attack-ferrets?

And you're just going to leave that there? Bastard, now I'm all curious. I'll just have to ask her when she comes back.

*eg* She emailed me, you know. You are so doomed.

Heh. Not a problem, I've asked so many nonserious questions in my life that I sort of expect the serious answers by now. :)

So, what you're saying is that the world's reaction to your dazzling wit has become unpredictable? Mmm-hmm. We'll have to see what we can do about that.

That would be another one of those comments there's a certain art to, right? :)

Maybe...

Or maybe I'm just casually yanking your chain. After all, I lead a very boring life these days.

Compared to blowing up bars, I guess you do. :)

After all, if I decided to 'match wits' with you, it wouldn't be very smart to warn you first, would it?

Depends on what your plan would be. I mean, I tend to warn Doug when I'm gonna do stuff to him.

What kind of stuff are you doing to Doug -now-?

No more wookies in dance class, please.

I'm not doing anything to Doug right now. I was just saying as a general rule he tends to know something's in the wind. :)
