Vance: Great. You should link them on your web site.

Felix: i will post the pics there... I think it's better.

Vance: A time warp is like, I'm coming to visit you in brazil, but because of the time warp, I've actually already been there.

Vance: So you remember me from the time I was there (time warp).

Felix: uh???

Vance: Sorry, "warp" means to be bent out of shape, like a cassette left in your car in the sun.

Vance: For example, Trendsetter thinks he's insane, but Maggi thinks he's warped.

Vance: Someone can have a "warped" sense of humor.

Vance: It means strange, or not in the correct shape.

Felix: oh ok

Maggi: Don't you watch Star Trek...

Trendsetter: Year, European Community, that it is.

Felix: Is not THAT true what people say on Tv Trendsetter..
