    Does this town have a newspaper office yet? I could be a reporter. I love typing and reading and writing, and I rarely make mistakes in my typing, so I can easily use a typewriter without fouling things up.
    ...Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile? Isn't it a nobby one and just the proper style! I should like to have one just the same as that. Whereever I go they'd shout "hello, where did you get that hat?..."

    I'd be one of the old uncles from Second Hand Lions, just-a sitting on my porch with a shotgun in my lap drinking tea and shooting the occasional traveling salesman.

    As your friendly neighborhood sheriff, I might have to "confiscate" some of that wonderful homemade moonshine.

    Of course I would have to sample some for my "cough"....

    Guess I could also fill in the Mike Westen/Robert McCall "problem solver" role...

    Gonna be a busy, busy dude, that's for sure. Especially with all the [voice=Doc Brown]"permit[s] straight from the U.S. Government"[/voice] I'm gonna need for my "weather experiments" and other prototype hardware...

    As long as you dont turn me over to the revenuers then you can "confiscate" all you'd like.

    No, it's actually easier to be by-the-book... besides, the more 'shiners we have around, the more that's gonna draw Revenooers and thus the more likely the chance of one nosing around my EOD-lockers and my hangars... and I'd rather not have them nosing around in even the same county as my "private little air force", if you get my drift. *raising eyebrow*

    I can't solve others' problems if I have some pencilnecked paperpusher second-guessing me about my tools and just mere possession thereof, now can I?

    Well, the USAF fighter-squadron I can't help you, but I could always check you out on the multi-seat birds in my personal collection--never mind that two of mine would be the same as the birds out on the alert ramp... Hope you don't mind having a paranoid artificial-intelligence along for the ride*!

    *Consult the old WONK threadcasts--while it was almost entirely fiction and most of this thread is in "don't hold your breath" territory, KITT, KARR and Blackout (to save some confusion about "Which?", Blackout would be hosted in a dedicated box to move between Pave Low and P-61 airframes) are all on my build-list...
