Oh Llama... what do you know of this 3D technology that claims the they
have 3D drivers from nVidia? http://www.fountainconsulting.com/

Looks like a helluva deal. I say we take this stuff, all of us move to
Bandel's place to form a production company and do 3D video broadcasts
24/7 of us, singly or as a groups. Video'd sitting in lounge chairs
under palm trees. 3D panoramas running non-stop broadcasts to all the
poor bums stuck wage earning, back in the States. 

We discuss the weighty issues of the day, like: 

Fruit in beer, Man Question? 
BBQ conferences and demonstrations. 
Smoking cigars etiquette. 
The perfect wave. 
The perfect Martini.
The perfect Daiquiri.
The perfect lime.
The perfectly smoked rib.
Was that Wahini a 10 or what? (do you have Wahini's, Mr. Bandel, and you
are not telling, hrmmmmm?) If not, we make enough dough to fly them in,
say what? 
Lonnie could turn his hand to weaving sun hats from palm fronds and
demonstrate the technique to a worshipful crowd.  
I would narrate a running communique to our 3D Blogo-Sphere.
Maybe just after-hours broadcasts of moon-lit beaches and the sound of
wind and thundering surf. (well, whatever you get in the Gulf.)
Maybe a few shots of Mr. Bandel in the tiger cage and the half toothed
white haired bearded software pirates cavorting around it, while waiting
for a proper invitation from him to "come ashore and be welcomed."
"Arrrgh! YoHo! Avast ye, Mister Day-vee! Poke him e-gain wif ye stick,
he don't be proper wi' ye, me Buckoos! Arrrgh!!" We become invited. 

Ahhhh, pure heaven. 

We'll let you out, after a while, David. Once, we claim our favorite
lawn chairs and put your pet pig to the hot coals. <more cavorting> Oh
yeah, we tossed out all those vegetables and other crap from your
freezer and put in three dozen ice trays. We discovered it was easier to
take things from Customs that it is to take things through. Got plenty
of ZigZags, styrofoam cups and confiscated liquors, that were just
sitting outside their door with little tags on them. We'll find some
matches lying around here somewhere too. Don't mind us, we will let you
out pretty soon. You're out of hot water now, anyway. Llama has the 3D
cameras hooked into your server farm, and he installed WindowsXT so the
stuff would run at all after pulling the plug on that email stuff. We
needed the bandwidth and they don't have drivers for Linux. Fugem. 

If I clicked my heels three times, I'd be right back in Siler City, NC,
freezing me arse off in -30 degree weather, so I'll resist the urge and
just live in that better place, where fresh bananas and fresher Wahini's
are within reach. We could make a killing, you betcha. 

I think we should all be making preparations before Mr. Bandel takes
this idea for his own, erects Cyclone Fence around his parameter and
alerts the Panamanian Policia.
