Besides Goth Miki that everyone is snickering about (the folks in the next office were wondering what I was laughing about at lunchtime), there's 3 other things I'd like to comment on:

- Who would have thought that Dorothy would be the one to coin "Vlad the Impala". There's something definitely wrong if she doesn't voluntarily take the Turing Test this time. So why do I keep having a niggling suspicion that she's going to be forced into taking it for some reason? (the suspicious part of me working overtime?)


- o/~ "Bitch, where is my money? / I need it right away! / I have to go to HMV and buy some Doctor Dre. / Bitch, where is my money? / There can be no delay! / I have to buy a new pimp suit at Zellers or The BaaaaAAAAAAAY!"

Here I thought it was a salute by the authors to the "talent" portion of the Pimp of the Year contest in the (IMO) very funny movie I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, only to find out its from a Toronto late-night cable comedy show. Then again, knowing Canadian comedy groups, it probably is a take-off on the movie after all.


- The discussion only briefly touched on the passage of the Extension to the Psi Act; after all, though it boded ill for the structure of society at large, it would have no direct effect on any of -them-, right?

For once in her life, Azalynn dv'Ir Natashkan missed a trick.

Why does this last sentence feel like it's written all-caps, bold-face, underlined, red, extra-large font, surrounded by flashing lights, with ominous music for a soundtrack? Is it possible to write something more obviously intended to be foreshadowing something?

Now the authors can sit back and chuckle while people drive themselves crazy trying to decide which of several different possiblities, if any, is being foreshadowed here <g>


Nicely done, folks


Regards,

Jeanne
