I was torn between the needs of Pete's plants and the joy of random...LOL!

[lolmac]

I am pro random driving!

[lolmac]

Aw, admit it. You just dig the Jeep.

With a level of appreciation I reserve otherwise for things like Swiss Army Knives with lots of attachments and hot troubleshooters. So. Yeah, I dig the jeep!

Your Jack being Jack voice is so much fun!

[lolmac]

*g* Thanks! I have trouble writing Jack Dalton . . . he reminds me way too much of an ex-boyfriend . . .

Definitely drive around in order to avoid "Hey, Mac! I couldn't find you at your place, or at the marina building, so I figured you might be here at Pete's. I tell ya this correspondance course is just rubbin' right off on me because I just somehow knew you'd be here. I'm glad I found you because I really need your help to get at all that gold, what with you being so good at sciences, so you probably know something about metallurgy, and you have that jeep..."

[lolmac]

" . . . and you're the only person I still think I can sucker."

[thothmes]

[*In my very best Jack Dalton voice*] Exactly!

[lost_spook]

Driving around at random is always best. (I like how you got over last time's tie-break, as well!)

[lolmac]

In addition to the poll here, I'm getting a few votes on ff.net; there were actually 2 additional votes for the answering machine there.

"He was reaching for the phone when the answering machine clicked on." LOL, I see what you did there. ;)

[lolmac]

I did say the vote was close! So I made it a close thing. *g*
