Stephen,

  While strolling through the swamp one day...
  We chanced to hear Stephen Moosehart to The Three Mooseketeers say...

 SM> Considering the recent power blackout, I hope that you're lowering
 SM> those suckers any time you wander under hydro transmission lines!

We almost ended up trapped out in the Merry Times thanks to that bunch of
silliness.  Heck if it weren't for those marvels of technology called
"Express Check-In Terminals" we would have missed our flight.

In a possibly related incident, two of the circuit breakers in our swamp
now refuse to reset.  Not a *huge* deal though--they're mostly responsible
for our landlord's pond filter.  It's not like he actually needs to have
the silly thing running, given that he never gets in the pond and his kids
don't seem to hang around any more.

 SM> SF or Fantasy reference, right?  (This question comes with the
 SM> obligatory apology for commenting on a random tagline.)

Neither, actually.  It's a quote from a tune called "Private
Investigations" by Moose Knopfler & Dire Straits.

With antlers held high,
            The Three Mooseketeers
