- I haven't seen Creature (just found out there's one five miles from my house
- and will be there soonest ...), but could you imagine waiting for Hurricane to
- count up an incredibly large 6x bonux ? I got one like that and I think it sat
- there adding up the points (one at a time, calculator like) for two or three
- minutes. By the time it finished, the pitch of the bonus song had risen almost
- three octaves above its starting point.

- Oh well ... anyone know of a Dr Who in the Atlanta area ?////////////
