Today is Friday the 20th day of August, and the Machine That Goes *ping*
has gone *ping* today.  Since I have been scholar, the Machine has
gone *ping* 18 times.

I don't think I ever expected to see De Morgan's Laws quoted in Ackanomic.

I give A$25 to IdiotBoy.

misunderstood ThinMan's comment.

 I go to the place with the books.  I go to that room, and read the evil
booky.

As promised, my treasure consisting of the SausageMobile has been found.
Unfortunately, I have found it myself.  I pay whatever fee is necessary
for such nonsense.

The map was as follows:

---
This treasure will be found by whomeever is singing a cute little song in
front of Vulcan HQ at noon on Friday August 20th.  If more than one player
fulfills these conditions, it will be found by a player randomly selected
from among those players.  If noone fulfills these conditions it will be
found by IdiotBoy.

Yes, using my special map encryption package, that all becomes 'X'.
Tokens rule!

I remind people that there are only 6 hours left (or less) to submit bids
for the Magic Letter.

IdiotBoy (having purchased the last one) is ineligible. (or illegible, I
cannot be sure ;)
