Took me a moment to figure out who BLMP was - to make matter's worse I was reading it as BLIMP.....

Take these from the top down... The owner of this hat has had 10 proposals in the queue at the same time whilst wearing this hat. The wearer of this hat owns in Ackanomic an entity which originated in Paranomic. This hat is green and this means something in the rules. ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Acka: Machine that Goes *ping* (ThinMan) Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 17:07:07 -0500 (EST) With K 2 going to gaol, e lost the Machine. The Machine that Goes *Ping* has appeared to ThinMan.

Each has the description "It is a sausage in a bun. It is also green, but tastes better than it looks." I give each of these trinkets to IdiotBoy.
