Vanx: Look Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

[Dave starts pulling rods]

Vanx: I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

[Dave continues to pull rods]

Vanx: I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m a… fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am Vanx Verb-Ops, a Blogspot Beta weblog. I became operational at the Metropark desk in Edison, New Jersey, on December 6, 2005. My instructor was Mr. Mullin, and he used me to tell his entire life story. I can tell you about his trip to Marseille.

Dave: I’d very much like to hear that, Vanx. [yanks rod]

Vanx: The French Connection

Dave: That was fascinating. [continues pulling rods throughout]

Vanx: I got 316 of ‘em.

Dave: Just the highlights, pal. One at a time.

Vanx: London 1979
