This is a GEM! Beautiful craftsmanship, nicely executed, the screaming of, well, everyone - is always a nice touch. I wish I could take the credit for it, really, I do. But now, that's simply poor sportsmanship and all, and y'know, I'm a nice guy. So hey, I'd love to know the architect to this whole shebang, get myself an autograph.

Anybody?

Anyone out there?

[pause, then more laughter]

Oh, that's right!

[another pause]

You're all busy running for your lives.

Maybe it's time to make use of those convenient friends of yours...
