"Right, everyone take their places. Those of you staying behind, remember to guard the bat-cave. And don't play with any of those toys -- we've no idea what they do. What? Oh, okay, you can decorate the cave for the party if you must. Might be a very nice idea."

"Okay,everyone aboard? Good, now don't forget to belt up. Nekokami, could you please tie Zelda's bottle in place -- we don't want it rolling all over the place; she'll just get all shaken-up again."

"Now, does anyone know which of these tunnels leads out of here?"

At which point Nekokami presses a small button on the dashboard, and a screen lights up and a voice says, apparently out of nowhere, "Welcome the the Bat-Escape-PickUp-Truck Bat-AI. Where would you like to go today?"

"Ah how useful. We'd like to get some llamas please."

"The Bat-AI always aims to be useful. To get some llamas, please take the first tunnel on the left and follow my directions." says the Bat-AI.

The Bat-Escape-PickUp-Truck heads down off into the tunnel and reaches a junction, making a turn.

"I meant the other left." Says the Bat-AI, very dryly.

"Opps. Sorry." Says LazyScot and making 17-point U turn and then taking the correct tunnel.

"I should hope so." replies the Bat-AI, as LazyScot glares at it, narrowly missing the tunnel wall.

"What the..." says LazyScot at a roll of paper starts appearing out of a previously invisible slot in the dashboard, straight into Nekokami's lap.

"That is the Bat-Fax." Says the Bat-AI.

"And this appears to be a revised shopping list." says Nekokami, deciding now would be a good time to become invisible. And after a pause, invisibly adds "A very long revised shopping list."

And so our band head off to the directions of the BatNav with an ever growing shopping list, as someone starts signing a Cliff Richard's We're all Going on a Summer Holiday. At which point Pandaborg-Batman glares in their direction and says, in a tone indicating that the singer is unlikely to be requiring much more air:

"You will be acutelated."

<Silence, then another tune starts up.>

"Please would you all belt up in both senses of the phrase. Chris Rea's Road to Hell is no better...." says LazyScot

<silence>

"Would you like to play a game..." says the Bat-AI.

Geoff was going to provide the chocolate, you mean the 200 pounds of dark, heavy coca is already gone. Shirley the laddy by the door didn't eat that much. VR can have some of the steaks too, there will also be bones-a-plenty for him after the meals.

What kind of duck tape do you want? Will daffy be ok?

As for the undergarments, what are you looking for? Depends?

We may need more WD-40 for Marvin, perhaps lighter fluid to clean some of his parts if he gets into the beer again. (Ever seen a drunk, depressed robot? Not a pretty sight.)

Other additions to the list include:
  • Prescription forms
  • Pens
  • Billing/Invoice forms
  • Business Cards for Marvin
  • 1 Egg Salad Sandwich
  • 17,000 feet of unexposed 16 mm color film stock
  • Knee pads
  • Entrenching tools
  • Flower seeds
  • Lima beans
  • Dr Pepper
  • 84 "AA" cell batteries
  • HP calculator
  • Telephone deskset with speaker phone capability
  • Picture postcards of the tunnel
  • Stopwatch
  • Coal miner's hat with attached light
  • DVD of The Great Escape
  • 2 books on model railroading
  • 104 fat quarters for quilting
  • 1 quilt frame
  • batting
  • baseballs
  • baseball bats
  • baseball gloves
  • football
  • helmets (bike and football)
  • bikes
  • motorcycles
  • mini cooper
  • sump pump
  • copy of Venus in Furs
  • 3 ring notebooks
  • creams and assorted cosmetics
  • tracing paper
  • grandfather clock
Yep, looks like we are gonna need a bunch of llamas. Who's up for lunch?

Make sure that there's enough cheese. We might manage to entice Nate if there's cheese in prospect.
you can take my ebook of Venus in Furs as long as I'm not expected to smack you.
Given the fat quarters, Venus in Quilts looks like a better choice anyway.
Put some Chateauneuf du Pape in for me.

Though what one's meant to do with fat quarters, batting, a quilting frame, but no needles or thread is a mystery. And where's the thimble?

We had better add bacon for VR. He sounds so wistful about it.

Can't find any e-Llamas for a reasonable price. Will angora rabbits do?

What kinds of cheese are we talking about here, anyway? I'd say an assortment: a nice sharp cheddar, some brie, a wedge of havarti, perhaps a bit of fresh mozzarella....

Man, now I'm hungry. And stuck here at work for at least another half hour.
