>> Apparently my old friend's wedding was moved to Saturday. Do you have plans?

Private Message

If you're reading this, it means you have been invited to my cousin's shotgun bachelor party. I understand this is short notice, but them's the breaks. You know how Frodo is.

So, the party is this Thursday Night at 9 PM.
It's going to be a firepit on the beach, so we'll cook hot dogs, drink whatever's available, and bullshit until we're sick of each other. All musical instruments are welcome. Bring whatever you like to drink and any food you want to cook over an open fire.

If anyone is like me and feels the need to document everything, just comment with whatever you plan to bring and I'll keep the list below updated:

And gentlemen, there won't be any strippers, but if anyone wants to go to a club afterward, it can be arranged separately.

Ring, ring.

>> Let's eat in.
>> I've cleaned up my apartment, for the most part.
>> The police really don't emphasize neatness when they do those searches.

>> Hello, old friend
>> Seems there was a miscommunication before, you know how things get as we grow older
>> It's been along time since we've grabbed drinks, hasn't it?
>> Think the missus and I could plan a visit sometime soon? Would be good to catch up.

>> I hope this is still your number
>> It's Frodo
>> Are you alright?
>> Because you appear to be wanted for murder

"New evidence in the ongoing investigations into the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne have revealed a suspect: Bernard Rhodenbarr, a 41 year old white male from Santa Ana. Forensic evidence places Rhodenbarr at the scene of the crime. Police believe he broke into the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne while they were on vacation and murdered them. Rhodenbarr is on the loose, and should be considered armed and dangerous."

>> I don't suppose you'd prefer a spur-of-the-moment vacation instead of the gala, eh?

>> I probably should've asked sooner. I'm not used to dating women who are the gala-type.
>> I should be sending my suit to the dry cleaners, shouldn't I?

>> This thing with Barbara is getting frighteningly comfortable.

( Phone call )

>> How did your date go?
>> Do I have to help you change your identity?

>> A beautiful young woman is making me dinner this evening.

>> Are you all right? Did the store take much damage?
