1)  Hybrid Preparado       Scrapped together this hybrid concoction      willingly powers a simple flash light with       nothing more than 10 gallons of kerosene,      a few electrical parts, some confused but      colorful tubing, and an electrical cord      to absolutely nowhere.      . .  3) Boatfish       I guess it all started when I answered     an ad for an equestrian related job.     The employment opportunity turned out      to be nothing more than an un-glorified     stable boy position. Day one I was handed     without much pomp and circumstance I     might add , a snow shovel looking     implement. Being a warm snow-less     summer day, I reacted with a  look of     puzzlement, only to be met with a      gesturing hand pointing at a     steaming pile of manure.     Oh well it's a job.	2)  Sleep Guard      Having my sleeping habits monitored by      an itinerate button-downed clown, soon      became common place. After a brief but      annoying adjustment period, I eventually      started sleeping like a baby. Every morning      like clockwork this self apponited slumber      warden squeaks a children's tricycle horn      and yells, "wake up!"     . .  4) Tabs for the Lonely     It was then that she leveled a stare      that froze me in my tracks, I mean this      woman had real power, not the girly girl      stuff  you get with cheerleader types.      This was real leg trembling charisma.      I hoped she wouldn't actually speak,      I was sure any attempt at a conversation      would render me tongue tied. I had      literally turned to stone, a prisoner of      my own lurid imagination.
