I'm pretty sure Steve Paliscar has the following recurring nightmare: Steve is quietly enjoying a cup of tea and a book of poetry, when he notices a faint but menacing 'zipping' sound. He looks around his room and finds nothing. He tries to go back to his reading, but the zipping continues. He gets up to investigate and pads to the bike room. To his horror, he finds his M.A.P. being attacked by an angry swarm of zip ties.
