- Merlinvin snickers, and throws the traditional handful of peanuts towards
- Feather. Actually, he throws her a curve, since the peanuts swoop upwards
- into the rafters just before they reach Feather. The Rainbow Crow gets
- the peanut shower, startling those nearby lurkers who hadn't seen it coming.

- >Feather PK's the rainbow feather, "kicks" it back to the rafters where it
- >came from, and yells upward: "Nice pry!"
-
- Some of the peanuts, who hadn't quite disappeared into the rafters yet,

- Callahanians?"
-
- "kitten, if she decided to become a full-time serving wench, would of
- course run the Li-Bar-y. Nick Chopper might invite the veterans (and
- others) to the Bar-Ax. And those in the physics-cryptography thread might
- band together to open the Bar Code."
-
- "Anybody else have any inn-sightful ideas?"
