Alex? I think he and Leah are BUSY right now, Thomas. He'll probably be back in just a minute. Hey, go Niners or something!! Yeah, about the wine, this is no vintage joie at all, Thomas. It's the local vin paisante, home bottled by Miss Penni on the first day of January, 1998 with all her sweet love for a wonderful future exuding from the twist-top cap. A brew not of the intellect, with no pretense at all, full of the essence of her and plenty of wonder at the gentle, calm, rich and tenaciously hopeful lives we live here every day (hoping against hope). Bon appetit!!!

Bub, who'd been growing a tad slow and paunchy of late, surveys his marksmanship with unconcealed pride. He checks the chambers on his smoking sixpun - good, three left if any "comers" get a sudden bout of courage - and twirls it absently by the triggerguard. All that can be heard is Bub's tuneless whistling accompanied by the soft slap of handflesh and the snicking of perfectly-lapped 17-4 stainless. Suddenly, the weapon slips off his finger. To the onlookers, who emit a chorus of gasps, it looks like a major technical foul. But Bub, he jes smile. He takes a tiny half-step around the suspended gun describing a pirouette around his deltoid, turns a little, flicks an errant corner of his natty bearslin jacket off his hip. The gun does a neat double Gainer into the now-exposed holster - with the hollow leathery clack of a good toss. He winks at the slack-jawed entourage and returns to his Barcalounger. He sits down, a little too heavily to be in keeping with the effortless grace of his verbo-ballistic Buffalo Bill act. Relaxing into the deep upholstery, he muses on past adventures and wonders what's taking that new quiet chick so long in getting him a beer.
