I am actually a bit embarrassed about this section, which is 'where it all
began'. I sunk too deep in frames when I started working on it back in
September/October 2002.

*LOL* Nice story nontheless. The mischievous things we all do as young-
sters... even at the age of 18, my friends and I was were tempted to throw
some small cones at the Burger King's glass shielding and see the response
from people around the scene. It can be pretty fun when you overlook the
branch from 100 feet above, next to a very steep slope that makes you
merely invisible.
