famed ship of debauchery,the duke of winchester is feared to be lost. the ship was last seen off the coast of spain, maritime authorities report last contact with the ship was made at 6pm today,when a drunken voice was heard screaming "john glenn fucking plays through!" over the radio. spainish authorities would like to remind all people to never drive cruise ships drunk.

after a few weeks missing at sea,the hess clan was found in monte carlo. while residing in the playground of the world's jet set,the group played the parts of ether fueled james bond villans.erich and co had many,many adventures. the duke of winchester was lost,won,lost and won again in the casinos of monaco. the story is far too interesting to write here,but it was truly the stuff of legend.

erich: yup. some people get delusions the are naploeon,some think they are a sentient tape dispenser,still others think they are old tv stars from the golden age of tv. myself? i tend to think i am a slick and suave gambler. if johnny didnt save my bacon....i dont know what i would have done. i cant imagine being dukeless.

karoliena: aside from winning the duke back ,we also won near millions of euros we never collected ...the important part was knowing we won. that builds character,and character is more valuable than anything a casino oozes.
