It has not gone unnoticed that Rei somehow escaped the claws of justice. I’m starting to wonder if her ‘preliminary discussions’ with the Munich cops didn’t end with a cozy deal of some kind. I’d like to know why the courts approved the seizure of even my uncle’s snowplow and my mom’s azaleas, but Rei got a week-long ‘house arrest’ in Nice while the rest of us were extradited in a cargo jet and locked up in Riker’s pending trial. Perhaps she has some explanation that will put my suspicions to rest.
I told you. Client privilege. QBN always gets the deal signed one way or the other. Stop whining, you had your chance.
And btw, that snowplow is REALLY coming in handy at our affiliate station in Chelyiabinsk. We got it for a song at the police auction...

Quetzal,
You, sir, can go to hell. I might not have had to retain counsel with Fred if the law offices of Quetzal, Crashfrog & Holmes would return a phone message every so often. Gracias otra vez.

Gee, Mr. H. Really sorry about that. We did try and return your call, but the phone had been disconnected. It apparently helps if you pay your bills occasionally. The phone company's generally really understanding about repayment plans, especially when the bill's as high as yours was. What's the deal with all those hour-long calls to that 900 number in Ouagadougou, anyway?
To be honest, we weren't calling to tell you we'd take the case. Actually, it was the opposite. My executive assistant Walpole Mostly, Jr, tried to contact you to let you know QCH only accepts cases where the client has some reasonable chance of paying our quite modest fees sometime before the heat death of the universe.

Dear Quetzal,
Hey, thanks for getting me off the hook! Don't worry, I understand, a deal is a deal... Is November 27th, 8:15 PM, Tokyo station, near the orange garbage bin that has the big character that looks like the ICANN logo on top of a lemon wedge OK? I'll be easy to pick out - I'll be bringing the duck with me.
I'm curious as to whether QBN has any interest in running the solo electronica album that I mentioned to you over dill wedges at the Grazer Cafe in Ames. I've already gotten a couple of tracks done. "The T4 Phage Conquers The Philistines" is currently at 17 minutes, but the requiem still needs to be refined. "Catholica" is a techno version of Pope Leo X's first Christmas mass, put into rhyme to the tune of "We Built This City". The church bells add a stunning effect, and you can really dance to it. I'm still trying to decide whether to split "mDNA ABCs" into two parts, though... the bonobos don't really merge in with New Polka very well, and I may use them as background vocals for my radio single, "Ex Nihilo".

I want to mention that Mammuthus is only concentrating on the negative in his update of the Heritability of Zero story. Yes, our European tour ended in arrests and extradition. However, our fan base among Eurocarnies is burgeoning. No one ever mentions the good things.
You are right, my negativity is over the top. Ever since the end Pleistocene when the flora changed so drastically it has been hard to find good grass (and it does in fact agree with Salty). You try being positive when you have been constipated for 10,000 years. As Fred, he has been full of shit his entire life and look how charming he is!
Ok Ok, there were some positive outcome from the HoZ arrests in europe. Hambre did find a new career in the takeout service industry having been promoted to delivering inflatable love dolls to prominent EU commissioners. Though he did suffer minor abrasions from an incorrectly manufactured love doll that he took for a spin. But he was awarded 10 Euros by the European Criminal Court when it was discovered that the poor manufacturing was a result of strikes in the French pornography industry better known as the government or "Le Incompetent" by the French themselves.
Dan's solo career took off when he realized he could smoke AND yodel at the same time. He became a bigger household name in Germany, Austria, and the German speaking portion of Switzerland than David Hasselhof though he remained bitter that rather than having groupies like Pamela Anderson he was only sexually harassed by the former East German womens swim team. Dan noted "I havent seen so much testosterone since the mass groping event at Arnie's Womens Day pep rally."
Even something positive to Syamsu as a result of the arrest. He finally understood that telling your sex starved 300 lb cell mate "Calling me your bitch could lead to nazism like Lorenz" and that he should just go away is not a particularly good idea.
Unfortunatley for Rei, I cannot really post anything positive. With some time to kill while the rest of the band was trying to get out of prison, she was bored and took a sampling of her posts, translated them into French with babelfish, and then back into English and found out they were identical to Fred William's posts including Caddyshack references....she has not let up on the cans of Sterno ever since.
Thank you Hambre for showing me the light...I will only focus on the positive from now on...

But Cornell thought it could overtake Henry Morris's use of "revolutionary evolutionism" through the eyes of three women by 2015. How sad. I was not fooled by the humanistic rehtoric.

rock and troll?
I think the idea failed at Gould's p1217 "Note, in the following passage, how Nietzsche refers to the chain of secondary utilites as "adaptations"; how he specifies that the steps in the sequence of utilities follow each other "at random" (in Eble's (1999) sense of unrelated to, and unpredictable from, previous states and not in the strict mathematical sense); and how he clearly recognizes the significance of this priniciple for dispersing any hope that a phyletic history might be interpreted as a "progressus towards a goal," another almost eerie similarity with Darwin's understanding of the meaning of contingency in evolution: "The whole history of a "thing", an organ, a tradition can to this extent be a continuous chain of signs, continually revealing new interpretations and adaptations, the causes of which need not be connected even amongst themselves, but rather sometimes just follow and replace one another at random. The "development" of a thing, a tradition, an organ is therefore certainly not a progressus towards a goal, still less is it a logical progressus, taking the shortest route..."
but the minimal a la Matchette may not be punishingly saved by Neitzschian superadaptive oversightc/e men should indeed , "experience, in a thousand shades and hues [not just Gould's black and white pigeon phenomenon], discloses a contingent world - the Relative Universe" "If there is a contingent, then ther must be a necessary. (in a sense this is on a different tack, what Duality itself asserts) and there is a "necessary" posited as the first cause of every sequence of contingent beings" "Clearly, if the chain of causal agencies of factors of determination contain ONLY contigent beings..."
