Kesh called the company to complain and they sent a representative to say Bix Corp would not pay for damages. Kesh, anticipating the need for litigation, brought out his guarantee and read the terms to her, as his two sons recorded the conversation.

katfeete#01 -- Bet You Can't
On the bright side, Shea thought as he tried to get his breath back, while he had so lost the bet, his friends had video of him trying to "Pin The Tail On the Black Cat", and that counted for something, right? And maybe if he watched it he could figure out how he got from riding his board to down here....

No Phones!
At the medieval restaurant in the old town of Visby, there is a total phone ban. Linda spotted a celebrity at her hen-party at said establishment, and could not resist to Instagram it, but she ended up in the stock. Her friend Laura, who was behind this all, carelessly sat with her walkie-talkie in her hand, contacting the photographer that should take the picture for Linda's wedding photo album. Old Albert gets furious and screamed: - "She's using a phone, put her in the stock", but Laura calmly replied: - "It's a walkie-talkie, not a phone, gramps." Old Albert had to be calmed down by the staff.

katfeete#02 -- The Collector
It was not his place to question. His master was the Lord of Time and Space. It was only natural that he liked to travel, and even more natural that he kept a collection of souvenirs to remind him of his travels and show off to his more illustrious guests.
But all the same, Vassily sometimes wished His Lordship would settle for taking photographs.
