More Sugar: catherwood roll me a bummer ||||||||| Catherwood rolls More Sugar a bummer. More Sugar: See you on the funway ||||||||| At 2:25 AM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, More Sugar!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on... ||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and intones "Presenting 'gonzoD', just granted probation at 2:57 AM", then leaves hurriedly. gonzoD: So where's...Nancy? ||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 3 O'CLOCK", then silently exits. gonzoD: Is it time for Beat the Reaper yet? ||||||||| "Hey gonzoD!" ... gonzoD turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 3:38 AM, I don't have to go yet!"... ||||||||| It's 3:55 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did: ||||||||| bob - dead from measles ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress... ||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
