Well, we'll see what other stories will be in the competition, though I do hope that my story does well. And thanks for your confidence, Centauri.

I also just noticed that the thread id of my story is 66675. Is that symbolic or what?

**Centauri18** · January 10, 2003, 19:13

If it was all 6's, then I'd be worried.

**DarkCloud** · January 10, 2003, 22:56

Thank you vovansim.

Devil removed.

Per the rules of this forum, I nominate my story -
The Salina Gambit

**unscratchedfoot** · January 11, 2003, 11:52

Thank you kindly for mercifully removing the devil story from the clutches of the devil.

I'll second The Saliva Gambit so you can use it to replace my little story.

Second this:

Yes, the Elvis reference is because unscratchedfoot has an Elvis icon (not to mention Civ II's famous culture advisor).

TCB stood for "Taking Care of Business" and each member of Elvis's inner circle or "Memphis Mafia" had a gold pendant with these initials and a lightenbolt. The Memphis Mafia was famous for fronting for Elvis's drugs and combing the audience for girls who would be brought back after the show for "The King" to enjoy. And that is today's Bicentennial Minute.

I see. What a pity that I have avatars turned off.

As for the civII advisor, I somehow found him the most annoying of all. The military advisor was da man

As for scratch, I see he puked all over the latest stories... Should he clean up the mess himself, or maybe it's time to buy him a ticket to mingapulco?

Probably some jerk signed on as Scratch.

Well, in that case, I am sure he will edit the stuff out, and replace it with something more appropriate.
