ME,=20
Having purchased a new vehicle, but being without my trusty NZ GROO =
plates, and without my lucky Rufferto card, (designed to ward the inter =
island ferry in NZ from sinking with my GROO plated car on board) I feel =
somewhat insecure, I know that I run the real risk of having the car =
sink on me into soft sands never to emerge. Is it permissable oh =
copywritable one to paint a Rufferto onto it for protection. Hey - it =
works for Groo !
There will be a disclaimer as the image would not be (c) by Sergio et =
al, as he would never draw so crude an image of a blue heeler. :o)
All,
Slightly . . . .ok totally . . . off topic . . . . back in the days of =
yore and university I stumbled into a D&D group. I had heard of it, but =
never indulged. So I tried. Into a group of mighty and stalwart =
adventurers I teamed, and slaying we did. Although the people who styled =
themselves things like Shadowsun Dreamweaver or Etheryllion Damodrenil =
were irritated that my lowly fighter answered to "Bob". However I =
persisted, being the annoying little twerp that I was.=20
The next weekend they came in search of their new aquaintence and hired =
warrior "Bob", but having only a vague recollection of where I lived and =
not knowing my real name, they wandered the halls of residence calling =
"BOB" until they found me.
Now all my fellow residents from the Halls now thought my name was Bob, =
I thought this a great joke, so I never told them, and soon all and =
sundry called me Bob, including my now wife Sue, and my parents. (My =
mother rang up and asked for Greg and they hung up on her - :o) ).
Recent events in the US lead me to disfavour my erstwhile moniker of =
Grooless of Arabia, least it offend anyone by it's origin, so even as my =
good friend Larry has forsaken his once D&D spawned moniker SoE, I would =
like to preservre the status quo for mr Gygax and resume one.
Greg "Bob" Craill.
