The truck in this one is drawn very well, I think. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

So it's Millie who drives the truck <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> But if she can't reach the pedals, how did they get away in the first place? <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

Willful suspension of disbelief . . . it's a skill! Will get you far in life. Somehow, we knew that Millie had to be the one to drive the truck.

This is going to be one interesting chase, then.

The suspect appears to be, from here, some sort of... fox... thing who is too short to reach the pedals, which is why they are not moving. There also seems to be some sort of... lizard-like... thing next to the fox which probably could reach the pedals. We're not sure yet why the lizard isn't driving, but we probably don't care either. And yes, I'm just getting word right now... Nobody finds the 'no-speed chase' story interesting. Yeah. This is the only thing happening right now. In light of that, here's 'Puppies from Around the World.'"

10-4 Red Delta Lady 10-4 Red Delta Lady 10-4 Red Delta Lady 10-4 Red Delta Lady 10-4 Red Delta Lady. MMMMMMhhhhhhhh I dont get it. Love the strip. poor Millie cant reach the pedles. The logical explonation for the truck mve movement is eather Isolde stared driving and let millie take over or they really did not move the truck it was the driver that moved. My vote is for the first.

[...unWARP!!!] Good evening. I thought the truck was moving already, with Isolde at the wheel. You'd think that Millie would have let Isolde drive. So much for the hijacking. Zacatepngolas! Until next time, remember: I AM THE J.A.M. Good evening. [WARP!!!]

Or it was parked on a hill and all they did was release the handbrake <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

I think it's a comic. And a funey one at that.

That's too cute <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> I guess Millie called driver's seat before Isolde could.

Oh dear. Millie and Isolde are both unliscenced and they stole a big ol' 10-wheeler. They could get serious time if Juvenile Hall for this.

Breaker - asking to use a CB channel Bear in the Air - a highway patrol vehicle on a flyover Putting the hammer down - driving fast Tijuana taxi - Marked cop car So, that clear things up? I think I finally got something out of being an ameteur radio enthusiast at last.

So she was sprouting utter nonsense, then? Thaught as much.

Am I the only one who's worried about giving Millie command of several tons of MEHTUL that she doesn't know how to operate?

This is Red Delta Lady, and there's a police helicopter about to bust a car full of Mexicans, understand?" based on CB conversations I've heard around here, not a set list of CB lingo meanings.
