Volvonium 

The hardest metal known to man, which Volvos are made of.
Volvos are actually harder than diamonds.

They're made out of a material called

Volvonium, mined in the mountains of Sweden by

hard-working Nordic Gnomes. After the material

is melted by launching it into the sun via

herring-powered rocket, the molten Volvonium is

allowed to cool slightly, and is then beaten

into shape by Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor.

Volvo P1800 

Volvo's one and only Sports Car. Introduced in 1961, the P1800 was meant to expand Volvo's lineup bying adding a Sports/Grand Touring model. Volvo made two body styles for the P1800; The coupe (Standard 2 door, 2+2), and the "shooting brake" ES, which is effectively a station wagon of sorts, Brought about by extending the rear sheetmetal and addign an all-glass tailgate, giving approximately 5ft of space behind the rear seats. The ES was first introduced in 1972, and was discontinued in 1973 (with just short of 8100 ES's being manufactured), along with the rest of the P1800 series.

The P1800 started life with Volvo's workhorse engine, the B18 (a 1.8L OHV Pushrod engine, with just over 100HP; Equipped with a pair of SU Carburettors ), gradually being upgraded to the 2 Litre B20, and eventually replacing the Carbs with Bosch D-Jetronic Fuel injection (in the 1800E). The Final P1800's had approximately 130-135HP.

The P1800's Body design was concieved under contract by Frua, an Italian design company. This gave the P1800 it's distinct lines and shape. The P1800's appearance changed little over it's production run, with the most important changes being a slightly different grille, changes in the side trim, and an interior refresh. These changes took effect in 1967 and were present on cars from that point onward. Changes strictly aesthetic, as the base sheetmetal did not change at all throughout the run (with the exception being the ES)

The 1800's shape may have suggested a sports car, but while it's performance was decidedly not lackluster (The 1961 model could do 0-60 in about 12-14 Seconds, and had a top-speed of about 105Mph), it was simply outclassed by the cars with which it competed (Jaguar's E-class, BMW, etc), though one of it's selling points was that it cost much, much less than these cars ($3995 for a P1800, vs $10,000 for the BMW, at the time). All in all, it was more of a Grand-tourer than a sports car. Volvo capitalized upon these facts, even running ads that called it "a souped-down" or "Poor-man's" Ferrari.

It was also significantly more reliable than most competing models, and Volvo capitalized upon this fact as well. A true testament to this model's reliability and longevity is the fact that the car with the Highest accrued mileage ever is a P1800 (Who's engine has only been rebuild once in it's 2.5 million mile run.)

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
