Hey, MM, I almost missed the bus! I had transportation problems this morning (Netscape kept shutting down & my modem was suffering from excessive heat & humidity!) & they made me late to work! I think you needed a caffeine hit? How's the super-machine today? Hi, Neil, nice to see you! I understand you're trying to lure MM into joining the group in the sound-proof discussion room we just added. What can I get for you? I understand there's a new rule that we have to serve non-humans of the marsupial variety now, but I'm *not* letting him use the indoor facilities, if you catch my drift. See that bush outside the back door? Please direct him over there, when he starts getting squirmy.
