Mecha, I ran into Ouise tonight and I think that they needed to be in Montreal by the 23rd, which I think fits in very neatly with your plan.

And they are renting a really big truck, so I think that there would be plenty of room.

This could work very well for you, my friend.

The funny thing is, I'll still probably dump a good load of my stuff anyway. I have a lot of holdovers from the hard scrabble days of yore. Served me well, but goods worth carting a third of the way across the country they're not.

Plus, I'm not entirely sanguine about cramming three people into the cab of a uhaul either. Well, in truth I'm not worried about it, except that one of them would be me.

Still, it'll be an efficient way to haul what goods as needs hauling.

Well and truly. The same money and I probably wouldn't have to sell that driving job. It's just that I'm looking forward to the Hitching Adventure.

Okay, I'm sure they could unload without you and you can still have the extraordinarily dangerous fun experience of hitching.

Hm. If you unstrikethrough dangerous, and leave extraordinairily as is, that's pretty accurate.

So what are you having for breakfast?

Hmm.. I'm thinking a skillet. Possibly a Texas skillet. You?

You know, as a student of the Rutger Hauer ouevre, you'd think you'd know that hitch hiking is dangerous and can only lead to flames and quartering.

I never said it wasn't dangerous. I wouldn't call it 'extraordinairily' so. And didn't the guy with his thumb in the air do most of the quartering, and dispense most of the flames? Yeah, I think so.

(Heh. Dispensing flames ... U R 2 DUM 2 BEAT A HAXXOR LIK MEE!!1)

But he was menaced first. Would you like being menaced? Huh? Would ya, huh?

You know, between 'Mr. Fantastic' and "Flame on!" the Fantastic Four were the gayest superhero group ever.
