I THOUGHT I'D FIND YOU ALL IN HERE!
Is Catspaw waving his "Dried Dork Shaker" at you Jeri?

Oh Pat, I guess I forgot to tell you about the curse on it. Whatever you do Capt. Bob, Mick, Kat, Susan, Jer, don't let him get close to you with that thing. The only way to break the curse of "Rasputin's Shaker" (that's it's real name, so I don't have to see him mis-spell maracca anymore) Oh where was I ...oh yes, once you've seen it or heard about it, the only way to break the curse is to sleep with it's current owner! See, over the years, well...I just got plumb warn out!

Rick (not cursed anymore)
