Adrian, my invisible and inadvertently violent gibbon-friend, while somewhat more intellectually developed than your average feces-thrower, is still prone to more advertent forms of violence over issues of territoriality (thus the annexing of the neighbour's yard when they removed a leaf of one of his banana palms that was hanging over onto their side of the fence...and by "annexing", I mean "laying waste to and salting the earth").

However, if you gently allow nominative determinism to colour the idea, Adrian's penchant for having an adorable sidekick - an Adrian Class 'C' to his raging Alpha, sort of like MelB and MelC, except he's MelA, and he loves his Spice Girls - I am sure relevant ructions can not only be forestalled, but turned into a Batman and Robinesque dapper duo (if Batman occasionally beats Robin around the ears for talking during "Wannabe").

Keep out of arms reach, and smile all the time, but not with your teeth...and drink this very suspiciously-bubbling tall glass with an umbrella and a twirly straw in it, and I guarantee (you will halucinate that) everything is going to aaallllright.

Cheers, and zig-a-zig-ahh,
Marc (Just don't let AdrianA drink it)

I woke up in the middle of the night with what I thought was the solution to the "Q" star. Very worrying, that, and what with pshrynk being as dead as a norwegian blue (beautiful plumage), I have no one to give 300$ to about it. Or is the laddie still at the door?

Anyway, my surreal dreamy solution to the puzzle had something to do with french speaking ducks (thouaque!) doing the work of the crowbar on poor pshrynkie. I need professional help, I think!

did i not mention i borrowed the car from Adrian ? it's been, ah, "modified" so that i could get to Lobster & Red's office without actually ever going through texas. bug problem : solved !

by the way, we're thrilled you love the story, perhaps you could do us a tiny favour, it seems there have been, ah, a few complaints from other tenants about Red's target practice, would you mind suggesting that he do that in a less sonorous environment ? or at least outside normal business hours ? thanks !

brilliant !! i think we'll need to make a companion volume to the leather-bound, gold-leaf decorated ebook of the mystery, for all the theories.
