Sputnik's Saga

[hedgiewan]

I got a call from the mechanic just as I was walking out the door today- the tensioner had broken, which is what caused the timing belt to loosen. Amazingly enough, the engine itself is fine. She should be all fixed up by tomorrow.

Now, I just need $500 more dollars. By tomorrow. Without resorting to selling Mya on ebay.

Pants.

In other confusing news, I seem to have two extra boxes of Thin Mints. How? I don't get it. I mean, not that Thin Mints are difficult to get rid of, if it comes to that, but they *should* belong to someone.

...Paul, firmly grasping the walking stick, faced his form.
"Listen," he said. "I don't care a damn what any of you are called, but if there's another word from anyone I shall keep you all in this afternoon."
"You can't keep me in," said Clutterbuck; "I'm going for a walk with Captain Grimes."
"Then I shall very nearly kill you with this stick. Meanwhile you will all write an essay on 'Self-indulgence.' There will be a prize of half a crown for the longest essay, irrespective of any possible merit."
