Panache and the Great Hunt for the Acryli-Beast

[mddock58]

Spasm with a caffeinated rush! Sounds like you found the engine for your Airship!

This is going great Jamie!

Well one must wonder where on earth our hero will muster up enough men of courage and adventure to crew such a dirigible...

NEED YOU ASK???

You may be surprised! Remember, we're talking full crew here, not just "red shirts".

Oops ! I may have overstepped my bounds here.

Be well,

But, but, my shirt isn't red.... I don't own a red shirt! Oh well, as long as there is popcorn!

Hmmm, good point. I hereby volunteer for the position of Navigation Officer, a nice yellow shirt position. (Although Weapons Officer could be fun!)

Mr. Splash, Mr. Mender, and Mr. BEEDEE

Some time ago I had the pleasure of introduction to you three gentlemen at a formal gala in the Southernmost part of our fair Golden State.
In the course of our conversation I was given strong indication that the three of you most sincerely wished to be part of any expedition I might mount to the Artic Circle. Though I do not hold you to any promise it is my pleasure to announce that an expedition is indeed setting forth. If you still possess the desire to be part of it, I would be most glad to welcome you on as members. Those still wishing to share in this adventure should be at Furman University football field in Greenville South Carolina by noon on the last day of May.

Be warned this journey may be a dangerous one, and to you three perhaps more so than most.

Along with this letter you should have received package containing the red uniform shirt of a security ensign. I do hope they are of the correct size.

Well, I finally get to own a red-shirt!!! Who-Hoo... (now, just where did I hide that phaser??? and how do I sneak it by security??? I know, in the handle of the claymore!)

[starbkjrus]

Oh my word! An armed dirigible most likely with warp drive.

Why does this all of a sudden remind me of the Flying Party in the Hitchhikers Guide series? I can see it now - attacking distilleries and breweries for booty not to mention what will happen to the biscuit merchants.

Most respected Captain Panache,

The shirt fits quite well, thank you. I am completly packed for the adventure, bow with arrows, ax, claymore, dirk, dagger, sken dubh pocketknife nail file, a representive sample from my arms locker (one cannot be too well armed), tankard,, nosing glass, tableware (it should be noted that I eat and drink like a hobbit), taxidermy equipment (proper preservation of sporran materials is a must), and my brand new Predator camo box pleat kilt in 28 oz wool (I hope it will not clash too badly with my lovely red shirt). I shall be at the appointed place well before the appointed time.

Most Exalted Panache,

Regrettably my response has been delayed by several days as I have just returned from a week at Bagpipe Camp where I was completely sequestered from outside influences such as computers, televisions and newpapers, etc.

I would be honored to join this enterprise that you have established and look forward to working closely with you, Mr Splash and Mr Mender. My expedition equipment is packed and ready for service. I will also bring my pipes to provide some entertainment during the evenings. Perhaps the sound will also confuse the Great Acryli-Beast at the appropriate time and facilitate the capture of this mythical animal by us.

I am however just a little puzzled by one item and request suitable clarification. You have requested our appearance at Furman University on the last day of May, but the invitation was sent this July. Can I take it therefore that the expedition will not depart before the end of May 2008?

As for the red shirt of the ensign, regrettably it is too small, but perhaps in the ensuing months I can take some sincere efforts to reduce my current girth and be able to fit into the shirt before leaving on his hazardous trip.

I remain sir, your enthusiastic and most humble servant,

BEEDEE

[Alan H]

I'd sign up but Panache might make me wear a pink kilt.
