LOL
You think that's bad? Try doing security. Patrol was bad enough - the
drunks are scarier than ghosts when coming at you at 60+ mph the
wrong way on the Interstate - but there is more than enough ghosts
out there to keep you on your toes! There were several buildings that
I avoided whenever possible - I'm sure they were haunted. OK, kevlar
and a gun makes you feel a little better when approaching a drunk
bum... But how is it going to help against a ghost? A Glock can only
do so much.

OT: Hey, I finally got ircd running on my iMac! Compiling Bahamut is
a PITA, and strangely the 1.6 RC3 beta worked and the 1.something
release didn't. Go figure. Now to figure out just why I did all of
this...

>Why did the broom just fall over? Yes. The grave-yard shift in a haunted
