Sir Robert Bakker was enjoying a nice latte, the Gambler was relaxing in the tub, Murphy Weller was feeding cows, Panther was busy trying to contact KILROY and called himself on the phone, Commander was mowing the lawn, Reanimator was interrupted playing video games, Shock Magnum was reading novels on the beach, and it turned out KILROY had been stuck inside the tour bus for two years straight and hadn't answered the pager cause his had died. Meanwhile, tour mascot Roomba [=McEntire=], a Roomba, also answered the call and scooted off-camera dramatically.
