- This seems a bit wired, since my 'undercover agent' tells me:
-
- [secret report form 'undercover agent']
- [From: rogue@cellar.org (Rachel McGregor)]
-
- Well, it's a little more complicated than that. Agnes and Paula have been
- together since the beginning, but Ramsey dumped Denise after going out for
- only a couple months. Denise got miffed and turned to Gary, who'd been
- fending off Buster's advances for almost a year. They've had an on-again
- off-again relationship (mostly on) since then.
-
- Buster and Ramsey? Well, that's not a well-publicized story. Nothing
- really happened between them, at leat not that way, but they hung out
- together for a while mostly trading nasty stories about Gary. Now all they
- do is sit around looking for interesting GIFs on the hard drive. And
- complain about not having the same taste in files.
- [end of secret report]

- I guess it will end with the driver beeing guilty....
