Quiet Pshrynk! Somebody may ask Red to look over the body....

No wonder Red got such cheap rent. He didn't tell me about that!

Who knows who or what is renting the offices between Red and Rocky....

We have some misunderstandings with Red... As he pointed out, CB caps only crank out at 17-22 Decibels, and that's before the silencer. Unless Rocky has a problem with the plink of the BB, Red doesn't seem to understand where the noise complaint is coming from. It's quieter that an Aspire Revo's fan. Perhaps Rocky is mistaking the noises after one of Red's typical Tex-Mex lunches as gunfire....(It would account for the air pollution complaints as well)...

Normal business hours? Is there such a thing for a P.I.?

I'm lost. Red's office is in Texas. How can Rocky's be down the hall and in another state?

Red says to tell Rocky to come by Bonzo's Backfire and discuss the matter. He can now afford to by his own beer....
I have sensitive ears. Besides, when I have the glass up against the wall, trying to figure out a way to swipe some business, it becomes startling to hear the reports.

i really couldn't explain it all. adrian muttered something about wormholes and spatio-temporal distortion, typed in some coordinates and pointed out a few specific buttons and levers, and i just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

All right folks - enough of this jibber jabber. It's become painfully obvious what's going on here.

This thread is a cheap rip-off, errr reverent homage, of The Maltese Falcon. Instead of the priceless black bird, we have a tatty dead parrot that is apparently changing color as he decomposes. [Can't you at least put him in a Zip-Loc bag?]

So ... we should focus on the dame who appeared in the office of our fearless detective. She's clearly a bad 'un! And will bring nothing but trouble and sleepless nights to Rock Lobster.

Rock Lobster indeed! More like Lobster Mayonnaise, with a side of sensuous escargot sizzling in melted garlic butter!!

[Give me one of the readers now or I'm adding recluse to the story line as the Sidney Greenstreet character!]

Can people please stop mentioning the length of the table and the idiosyncratic moebiustic architectural feats of Montsnmags Enterprises? Infinite supply is absolute hell on profit margins, and I have enough trouble collecting from my tenants as it is (even without that mongrel Red -"little bastard shot me in the ass").

Cheers,
Marc

After all I did to encourage sales of Zany Carter in my stories. (and for free!)

Adrian, would you be kind enough to remind Marc I did not shoot him in the backside....
