I'm moving like a irritable sloth on nyquil these days, posts will  
ooze out as my metabolism shifts from coma to near-sentience.

So round, so firm, so fully packed . . .

	Stories of tortures
	Used by debauchers
	Lurid, licentious, and vile
	Make me smile
	Novels that pander
	To my taste for candor
	Give me a pleasure sublime
	Let's face it, I love slime

Not quite, so here's the assignment for all you young and willing  
students -- explain to us all as regards the significance of "The  
world is all the case there is" and how it applies to "V." Bonus  
points for anyone sniffing out extensions on this riff in GR or AtD. I  
expect your assignments to be in before the cock crows on All Saints  
Day, preferably printed in pencil on hexagonal grid paper.

It's not as if there's someone chomping at the bit for Chapter 10, is  
it?

I'll be here at the Castaway Inn through Samhain, don't forget to tip  
your waitresses. The Portobello Gardenburgers aren't bad, just so long  
as you understand that they taste nothing like meat and by the way --  
vote yes on Prop 19 'cause we all could use a good laugh.

We'll be back with Vera Lynn accompanied on the piano by Asia Carrera  
in just a minute, but first, this public service message:

	As far as the vapor business goes, then, hydrazine is
	like gasoline. You don't stick your head inside a gas
	tank so you can inhale its delightful aroma; nor do you
	light up your favorite weed where there are gasoline
	fumes around. In fact if you do any smoking at all
	around either gasoline or hydrazine, we guarantee
	you'll be enjoying it less.
