  - I like that within this game Robin Hood is aided by the Merry Men while Bigfoot is aided by the jackalope -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 21:06 4
    - And presumably since they're pals, the jackalope isn't tagging along for the money, he's there out of loyalty and some shared experiences. -- nm - Max Apr 9, 21:09 3
      - that's what friends are for -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 21:09 2

      - Don't act like you are a trade king. We've known you for far too long for us to believe it ;P -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 19:55 1

    - Thanks for noticing. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 19:48

  - It’s more about pandemic fears. -- nm - David Apr 9, 19:40 10

        Switch a car battery? I wouldn't risk it on a vehicle my wife loves. -- nm - David Apr 9, 21:12 2
        
        Swapping a battery is simple. Alternator, not so much. -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 05:21
        
        (And there's a chance it's the alternator/starter, which I can't fix.) -- nm - David Apr 9, 21:14
        
        See, I purposely did not go there. It's a guy thing. Like asking a woman how much she weighs, you just don't -- nm - Bacon Apr 9, 21:07
