Achewood - March 31, 2004 [[Ray is shown on a typewriter in the streets of Berlin, wearing his newspaper suit as he furiously types his Lambda Manifesto, the manifesto is shown at the right and reads as follows]] / We are slaves to the LAMBDAS (waves of energy) which resonate thoughout all matter as a result of the big bang. / Retailer Hammacher Schlemmer provides the so-called "sonic insect trap," which is known to cancel out the Lambda, or Universal Baseline. / Once free from the UB, one can freely converse with the Angels who occasionally observe and chronicle our "progress." They paint a very different story indeed.
Achewood - March 31, 2005 [[Teodor holds a presentation board]] / Teodor: Here it is, fellows... your new logo! / [[Logo reads "Lyle and Ray's Perfect Jays", image of a joint with Ray's head on one end wearing Aviator sunglasses. He has stringy hair and holds a J in his mouth expectantly. On the opposite end of the joint, the head of Lyle with a push-broom mustache. He extends a lit Zippo to Ray.]] / Ray: Man, I hate this logo! / [[Ray throws hands up]] / Ray: I ain't wear aviators and have chemistry people hair! / Lyle: Why'd you make me look fat, T? / Teodor: When you start a company like this, it's important that you look like a couple of dumbfucks from Vermont. / Ray [pointing angrily]: Wrong, wrong, {{italicized}}wrong. / Ray: When we say "perfect," we mean, like, Swiss, you know? / Ray: Picture a perfect Swiss man sitting in his cubic black leather armchair, the crisp click of his lighter as he flames an unforgivingly precise jay-- / Teodor: You're naïve! Perfect Swiss men probably account for under one ten-millionth of a percent of worldwide joint sales! / Ray [leans in on Teodor]: Shame on you for thinking the demographic is inflexible! Sometimes the product creates the consumer, T! / Teodor: Come on! Compete in the established marketplace, you pussy! / Ray [points]: Yeah, and get iced by Mexican yeyo boys? No thanks, fool! / [Lyle puts paws to ears, others look surprised] / Lyle: SHUT UP! Shut up, both of you! God, I've never wanted to start a joint company less in my life! / {{Alt text: It's a Stay Away from Mexican Yeyo Boys Thursday}}

Achewood - April 1, 2005 [[Map of Achewood Underground / Survey 187-B-109298 C.H. Mohr & Assoc. sn. 1 of 7 / Fig. 1: Sample cross section of the Achewood underground. / Excavation and construction of the Achewood underground began in earnest in 1945, spearheaded by billionaire (feline) developer J. Vincent J. Lemoni, who sensed an imminent postwar population boom in the area. Achewood is connected to the National Subterranean Transit Link (NSTL) via light rail, and is a Full Communications Partner with international privileges via Craydon Teledyne. / Prior to 1945, non-human species assumed residence in natural caves, forests, riverbanks, and abandoned buildings (mainly in the blighted East Achewood division, where sightings of "animals with human behavior" were generally written off as hallucinations by the chronically intoxicated populace). / Mr. Lemoni sought to create a framework where commerce could flourish, safe from human detection. The Achewood underground has been a modest success, and as of this survey has enjoyed the addition of an upscale shopping district and new medical center. All Achewood underground property is leased from the Lemoni Holding Company, and each LHC underground city is conceived as a franchise, managed by a small team of LHC local executives.]] / {{title text: Panel 2 of 2 and Legend next week.}}

Hand-turned brass dials and latches come in high- or low-burnish. / A stout little punter, he's also a bit of a boffin, with a full suite of computing tools under his formidable cap. / His superior data velocities and large stores of recall make him excellent value for money. / Shrovis-Bishopthorpe, purveyors of finely crafted men's computing machines since 1983. Send £1.50 for our catalogue of jokes. / After onyl a single examination of the E-III you will declare all other computing machines rubbish.

Where do you want me to put it? / Cornelius: Aaaah, Halston suede and Giorgio of Beverly Hills. A whiff of landed sweat, and the merest suspicion of a preprandial on-brand 7&7. / Cornelius: But wait...lightly mildewed rucksacks, with finishing notes of shoes laced under threat of opprobrium. Young boys are punished for holding freshly-sharpened pencils to their noses and stealing in the heady aroma. / Cornelius: Despite its initial flash, this machine is as British as a bilious lord.

There's this Dutch kid, and he sees water leaking out of a dyke, so he sticks his finger into the leak to stop it. / Philippe: Wow! Phew. / Lie Bot: Unfortunately, pretty soon his finger dies, and then the rest of him dies, too. He's little, and it's so very, very cold. / Philippe: Nooo! / Lie Bot: Sorry, true.
