Almighty: I understand you were moved to another secret location in the PH Cave. More clandestine work for PBM? No need to make up stories…I of all people understand your value and the necessity of keeping you safe. Should your location become known, the possibility of you being kidnapped or harmed is untenable! The threat to the global presentation world as we know it might be too much for PBM to contain! ANARCHY! DEVESTATION! POORLY DEVELOPED AND DESPLAYED PANEL BOARDS!! The Horror.

Chronicler: Certain threats were made by bad-display-type-people so it was felt by those in the highest echelons of authority that I should be relocated to a true cave (aka the basement) and not just a figurative one for my own safety. They have even given the new secret location a code name to throw off such evil doers. It is known by the immensely creative and clandestine name of ‘Training Room 2’. Now I feel confident that I can continue the crucial work in support of PBM’s efforts to rid the world of bad displays everywhere and not fear my safety will be jeopardized.

Long Live PBM!!!

CHRONICLER: Panel Board Man Lives!!! On YouTube.

ALMIGHTY: Although he has a new disguise as a Sandwich Board! Clever Panel Board Man!

CHRONICLER: All of us here at the Health Cave are proud of you

PANEL BOARD MAN: Thanks.  They killed me off in the comics so I had to come up with something new!  

A note from The Chronicler: Crime never stops for a donut and coffee even in the donut shop capital of the world and so the high calibre services of Almighty are required elsewhere in Region City. The Powers That Be (TPTB) have deemed it necessary that she pass on her responsibilities of providing high-tech panel board weaponry for our hero Panel Board Man onto an apprentice. The Apprentice is ready, willing and eager for her first assignment.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

OK Apprentice, brace yourself, this is your first request from PANEL BOARD MAN!

On February 27th from 6-9pm at the Region City Mall the fifth annual Ultimate Mix Challenge will be taking place! Our special intelligence office tells us that a gang of substance abusers will be there looking to cause trouble at the event! The secret plan is to pick up one of the 3 or 4 panel X5-100 display board models at around 4:00 from the Health Cave on February 27th. From there PBM will secretly make his way to the Region City Mall and intercept the gang by setting up the best, most colourful, eye catching display that will no doubt make all substance abusers feel guilty and never ever, ever, ever abuse any type of substance or cause trouble again! Upon completing this mission PBM plans to take the X5-100 home and have a nice relaxing weekend with it. This mission promises to be very taxing and the X5-100 will no doubt need a well deserved rest. PBM will return the X5-100 at exactly 8:24 on Monday, March 1st safely to the Health Cave.

CONFIDENTIAL PBM AGENDA
-pick up 3 or 4 panel board at 4:00 on Friday, February 27th.
-return panel board at 8:24 on Monday, March 1st.

Thank you for the work that you do in aiding PBM to rid the world of poor displays!
Over and out.

Panel Board Man

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

And so the torch passes to The Apprentice.

PBM I know I have left you and all well presented displays in good hands.

Don’t be nervous Apprentice.
Upon completion of your first successful mission you will experience the euphoria of keeping poor displays and trouble makers at bay and will hence look forward to future calls from the ever vigilant PANEL BOARD MAN!!!

Thoughts and prayers from an appreciative public are with you.
Good luck to you both!

Almighty

The level of responsibility passed on to me is overwhelming.
Due to the sensitive nature of this event it would appear we must approach this matter with the utmost regard for the safety of “Panel Board Man”. I have secured a 4 panel X5-100 in order to accommodate the most informative and biggest display ever. Substance abusers beware!
I will do my best not to let you down.

The Apprentice

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Obviously we chose well.
I feel confidant that PBM will go on fighting bad displays for as long as there are misguided evil doers trying to create havoc for all. The Apprentice has learned quickly of the dangers that could envelope PBM at any time and is not afraid to take the necessary steps to keep him and the organization safe and functioning like the well oiled machine it is. PBM’s back up team is in place and ready at a moments notice to help inform and beautify the world. (or at least Region City).
Evil display displayers beware!!

Almighty

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Apprentice,
I can see that your training has served you well indeed! PBM is confident that there will be zero transition time, rather our missions will hit the ground running! Fear not, you posses the highest level of skill required to keep the daily operations of the Health Cave running smoothly while PBM ventures out into Region City defeating the evil substance abusers and builders of poor displays!
Carry on and remember PMB could not continue in this battle without you!

Panel Board Man

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well, folks, there you have it. A day in the life of a superhero. It’s a very long day, the tights are uncomfortable; I think we covered that before. Map light, convenient and essential. A lot of working of villain motifs. Crime has a Bossa Nova beat. Leap before you look. Remember denouement. Other French words: inconvenient, nonessential… oh… I could go on and on… But time’s a-wasting and evil’s out there making hand-crafted mischief for the swap meet of villainy. And you can’t strike a good deal with evil. No matter how much you haggle! We don’t need to look for a bargain; goodness is cheap because it’s free, and free is as cheap as it gets.

– DIS-PC SUCKS

Note: Mr. Sucks does realize his monologue is very similar to that of a certain superhero bug.

ALL-MIGHTY,

Panel Board Man’s ‘panel-sense’ is tingling’. I have a sneaky suspicion that St. Mike’s is in need of a sparkling display! Therefore, I am submitting this request for an extra special panel board for November 19th, 20th and 21st. This special panel board will be picked up at 8:30am on the 19th and returned to the ‘Health Cave’ in the afternoon of the 21st or the morning of the 24th.

Thank you once again from Panel Board Man.

It is always an honour working with you in order to rid the region of poor displays!

~*~*~*~*~*~

Panel Board Man!

Good to hear from you, knowing how busy you have been in your quest for eye-catching and informative displays and eradicating poor ones.

I have the perfect display board for you. The 3–panel blue X3! Clean lines, bright colour and will fit in most vehicles.

I have booked it for you from November 19 – 24, although it needs to be back early on the 24th as another of our ever supportive group needs it on the 24th to educate the public on not only information but to show displays pleasing to the eye.

Be prepared to pick up this board by the elevators on the morning of the 19th, and Godspeed in your pursuit of quality displays.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, brave soul.

Almighty,
Well, they are a pretty alert gang. Real street wise I’m told. I think I will plan a sneak attack with a stealth like three panel attack board! (with your approval of course)
PBM

*~*~*~*~*~

Dear PBM,
Of course that fiendish group will be waiting for something outrageous and will retaliate in kind. Once again you have shown a wisdom beyond your tender years. You will win the day be stealth and ingenuity. I give you the 3 Panel board with pride!

~ Almighty ~

While I cannot claim to be one of the current authors of this saga, but rather a historian, a chronicler, a public relations type to bring this true-life gripping saga to international attention through this forum, I hope to someday soon don my Panel Board Man secret decoder ring and assist this crime fighting team.

For now I remain your humble servant in keeping you up to date on this, the Continuing Adventures of Panel Board Man.

I am mighty! I have a glow you cannot see. I have a heart as big as the moon! As warm as bathwater! We are superheroes; we don’t have time to be charming! The boots of evil were made for walkin’! We’re watching the big picture, friend! We know the score! We are a public service, not glamour boys! Not captains of industry! Keep your vulgar moneys! We are a justice sandwich. No toppings necessary. Living rooms of Canada, do you catch my drift? Do you dig?

Sure, Gravity is a harsh mistress but you don’t fight destiny, no sir… and you don’t eat crackers in the bed of your future! Yes, destiny has her hand on my back, and she’s pushing! Hug your destiny!! Oh, what a goofy work is man. Y’know, evil comes in many forms, whether it be a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin, but you can’t let the package hide the pudding! Evil is just plain bad! You don’t cotton to it. You gotta smack it in the nose with the rolled-up newspapaer of justice! Bad dog! Bad dog! And you don’t do it for money. No! You do it for love! You know, I’ve learned something… on justice and on friendship, there is no price. But there are established credit limits.

Panel-Board Man, let your journey into hugeness teach us all a lesson. Absolute power is a sticky wicket. Some of the best things come in small packages. But large things can’t! Unless they’re inflatable, or require some assembly, or unless they’re hearts. Yes, giant, juicy, loving hearts! As big as the moon, but much, much warmer!

Villains, I say to you now… knock off all that evil! Thank you Panel-Board Man, for inspiring us all…

Sincerely,

Dis P.C. Bytes

PBM –

With this particular group of colour blind cut-throats I have for your use, should you choose to accept it, a 4 Panel Board. More powerful than the 3 panel boards when used under the correct circumstances. However, if subtlety is called for than a grey 3 panel board is available for your use.

Please send your reply via the usual secure information line, carrier pigeon. If however the flying finch has gone to roost, e-mail will work as well.

ALMIGHTY!

Yes it is true!

The St. Paul Secondary School gang has broken out of jail and they are on a rampage.

Sergeant Paul has sent a special request seeking the services of PANEL BOARD MAN and his ASSOCIATE ALMIGHTY in hopes that our special panel board fighting powers might guilt the gang into submission. The plan is to pick up the powerful panel board at 04:30 on November 18th, take it to a special location (panel board man’s house) where it cannot be detected, then get in the panel board mobile on November 19th, make my way to the rendezvous site for 8:30am where I will entice the gang into doing battle. It is panel board man’s estimation that the battle will be over by 2:30pm on the 19th. Order will be restored, the gang will feel guilty after viewing the display, never again abuse substances or create injuries and I will return the powerful board to the Health Cave between the hours of 03:00pm and 03:30pm.

Thank you ALMIGHTY!

I know I can always count on you.

PBM
