<Yogurt voice> Moichendaising! We got the WDF Transforming Valkyrie, the entire line of WDF Dolls - no, we don't have the anatomically correct Kei and Yuri, what kind of pervert are you anyway? - including the new GENOM Executive line, the toy weapons, the movies, the TV series, the animated TV series, the animated movies, the toy tie-in to the movies, TV series, animated TV series, and animated movies, and most importantly we gots the clones of Kei and Yuri that we genetically engineered to have no brains in the WDF Bunraku House!</Yogurt Voice>

Sorry, just re-read Sim Hell, which is where the last one came from. (Bunraku is Japanese for 'puppet', and is in many forms of cyberpunk fiction the term used for a prostitute who has the ware in the head to 'shut off' her normal personality and fulfill the fantasies of the client....)

I just got that one myself. And when Corwin goes, I think we're going to see a number of people going WITH him. Including....

Aah, Fuu on You. <duck>

My ex and I always referred to it as the 'Robo Grunt'. Or occationally 'Meditation through Destruction', as sometimes it sounds like a deep, deep voice going "om!" in a drawn-out manner.

Damn! Now my brain is trying to generate that in a soprano! Damn <SKREE! SKREE SKREE!!> Double Damn!
