Bonus points if you also relocate the flashing chevron trailer/sign. Then count how many weeks/months it takes your state's DOT to figure it out...

put some cheap porn on the DVD player for continuous play, turn up the volume, face the speakers to the apartment wall (towards the annoying neighbors), and leave for the weekend.

LOL, I have a Yamaha keyboard that has a "demo" mode that randomly switches through the various different sound bank and rhythm selections. You can set the tempo from megaslow to hyperspeed. I used to hook mine up tot he amplifier on the megaslow tempo and let it run as I left the apartment.

I just had a vision of a dralasite sitting on a stool, who absorbed his legs and generated all arms and proceeded to perform Betovin's "Ode to Joy" via arm pit farting.

I'm sad to say that I actually chuckled at the thought.

Isn't that what one of the published modules referred to as a "dralasite blow singer"?

I could see groups of dralasites doing this much like human a cappella groups.  I wonder what the teenage dral equivalent of the popular teen vocal groups we recently went through is?  I imagine they would do contortions as part of it too.  Maybe a blue man body sound theme.  But more properly "grey blob" group.

I would hope that Frontier society is advanced enough to be above the concept of Reality HoloTV. Innocent

It was introduced to the frontier as a sathar plot to degrade core race society and deteriorate their ability to think clearly enough to mount a defence against their invasion.

You know about 7-8 years ago I made up a fake identity to register for something on the internet as a security measure (used my wifes maiden name and an assumed male name and our address) to this day we still get jury summons and credit card applications and they followed us to the new address as well! If they ever catch up to Antonio he's going to be in a lot of trouble for blowing off jury duty every year since that time!Foot in mouth

Seriously though its kind of scary how we still get the mail for this non existent person.
