[A man enters the mess wearing a flightsuit and a leather jacket with the name "Bandicoot" on the front and a strangely familiar design on the back.  He has an olive-drab backpack slung over one shoulder and is carrying two cases of beer.  One is marked "Lone Star" and the other "Heineken". Both are, of course, beer-ocopeias. He sets the cases down on a table near the center of the room but goes to an outer wall with the backpack.  There, he begins to unpack.  First comes a sign that has a red cross and a red crescent which he affixes to the wall above a table.  Next, he unloads a large bottle of antacids, a bottle of acid blockers, a huge bottle of aspirin, an equally huge bottle of acetominophen, vitamins, cold packs, gauze pads, a small suture kit, IV solutions, three cloves of garlic, a live rosemary plant, and a bottle of something that looks like caviar but is labelled "Eye of Newt".<p>After unpacking, he tosses the backpack under the table and heads for the kitchen.  He grabs his china cup and walks past the tea kettle.  As he sits down at a table, he reaches into one of the cargo pockets of his flightsuit and pulls out a flask.  He fills the cup with the Highland Gold and takes a sip....]<p>Ah!  Nothing like Talisker first thing in the morning to get you going.<p>[Taking a look around to make sure that everything looked nearly ready, he announces to no one in particular....]<p>Let the festivities begin!
