What's that you say?! Julie and her friends are tour guides now?
Oh, this could be interesting.
WARNING: (The following is a "short" history lesson, but hopefully you'll find it a fun one.) 
Early today, we see Julie racing down a country road. Where is she going? Your guess is as good as mine.
She spots her little horse friend, "Sarah Sally" along the way and smiles.
Julie ends up at the new, 1/6 Engine Museum. This is where we meet up with her.
>Julie< "Oh hi there! Come on in with me and I'll take you on a tour through our new museum.
I curate the early 20th century wing so let's begin there."
>Julie< "So this first little gem is a 1/6 Baker Monitor. A pretty and nicely stylized vertical engine."
>Julie< "And beside it is this lovely 1/6 example of a general purpose horizontal engine."
>Julie< "These engines ran on gasoline or kerosene and are prime examples of the modern work
horse from the early to mid 1900's. Most engines this size were used to power equipment
on the farm and farm house, while the largest versions ran factories and mills."
>Julie< "I'm especially fond of this one. I personally restored this baby from a crate full of parts
donated to the museum nearly two years ago."
>Julie" "And now I'll introduce you to the lovely Cookie."
>Cookie< "Hi."
>Julie< "The next wing is under her expert care so she'll continue the tour from here. Her wing
features exhibits from the mid to late 1800's. An era she knows a lot about. I have to
run for now but I'll catch up with you later. We have a wonderful surprise in store for
you then."
>Cookie< "So, what we have here is a 1/6 replica of an 1886 Carl Benz motor car. It ran on
gasoline and is recognized as the world's first true automobile powered by
internal combustion."
>cookie< "Fun fact: In 1888 Carl's wife Bertha, sat right here and was the first person to drive
the car long distance. She took the 132 mile round trip drive along with her two
sons to prove the viability of her husbands' creation. Pretty cool huh?"
>Cookie< "Over here we have two fine 1/6 examples of first generation internal combustion engines.
Created between 1860 and 1875, they were cutting edge technology.
They ran on city illuminating gas and used an unusual 2 stroke non compressing cycle."
>Cookie< "They were very expensive, temperamental, and not very powerful for their size.
So their use was limited to small factory jobs. Their advantage over the steam engines
they replaced, was they took up less floor space. Start up and shut down took just
several minutes each, versus the hours needed to fire up and shut down a steam boiler."
>Cookie< "Next, Candy here..."
>Candy< "Hi there fella."
>Cookie< "... will take over from here. She'll guide you through her wing which features the pasts'
vision of "the future". She loves that stuff. Candy's a lot of fun and you'll be in great
hands with her. I have go help Julie now, but I will see you again later."
>Candy< "Well now, before we begin I have to quickly start this machine, then tune it Juuuust right."
>Candy< "Ahh, there we go! Up and running ... Now then, What's this odd thing thing you ask?
Well, this funky thing is a 1/6 industrial strength high pressure pneumatic bubblizer.
Yeah I know. Say that three times over! Today we're using it to feed bubbles down
that hose. Heh-heh."
>Candy whispers< "Shhhh, It's something Cookie and I have set up for Julie."
>Candy< "But more on that later... Sooo ... What's up with you fella? ...
Wanna fool around with me while this funky machine does it's thing?"
>me< "Ummmm, Y..."
>Candy< "WAIT! Do you hear giggling? Sounds like some one's having fun over in the next wing!
Come let's go see what's going on!"
>Julie< "Oooooh Candy! I don't know how you did it, but your fancy bubble bath machine is just
wonderful. These bubbles are so warm and cozy. I'm in Heaven!"
>Candy, hamming it up< "Aww no Julie, your having your tiny bubble bath out here!? Out here in
the open? Where everyone can see you? All NAKED LIKE?! Well, it's a
good thing you have all those bubbles to keep you covered up then huh."
Cookie giggles knowingly.
Just then, Candy's "funky machine" erupts with a bubble blast into Julie's warm and cozy bubble bath.
>Julie< "EEEEEEEK!! Candy! You turned that infernal thing way up high again didn't you?!"
>Cookie giggling< "Awww, how embarrassing. Look Candy, I think poor Julie's suffering from her
explosive farts again. You think she should see a doctor for that?"
Cookie and Candy giggle together. Julie just rolls her eyes.
Julie then shouts out to us: "All right, are you ready for your surprise?!
>Julie to Cookie and Candy< "Ok ladies, and I use that term very loosely today.
Raise your glasses and ... GET NAKED!!!"
>All three shout< "SURPRISE!!!!!!"
>Cookie and Candy< "Don't be shy now. Come on over here and join us for Julie's sexy farting
bubble bath and naked girl dance party!!!"
And right on Q, the "funky machine" erupts into Julie's bubble bath again.
>Julie sighs< "You know, if the creators of these machines could only see into their future and see
how THOSE TWO are abusing their inventions. UGH it's just so sad."
