Just a quick question for Gryphon. Is UF Gryphon aware that he ran into one of the princes of Amber (or at least a near shadow version) back in Secrets?Kheram

What makes you think Random Corey wasn't just a Zelazny fanboy?

>so-bad-I'd-like-to-Stalinize-it Exile story Secrets. Grumf. Darn free-association. Well, nothing to do for it, except ... SING! Hunt, hunt, hunt, he's The Huntsman!
"Into Action!" is his cry!
From the forest to the city,
He will run there in a jiffy,
To sock Evil in the eye! Marty Feeb was a poor sportsman,
Hungry, without dough,
'Til the day he saved a chunky elf
From being eaten by a crow!
The elf rewarded Marty Feeb
With a magic sack of corn;
It gave him strength, and speed, and shiny teeth,
And as The Huntsman was reborn! Hunt, hunt, hunt, he's The Huntsman!
He'll whip the pants off the bad guys!
When you have an emergency,
Sound the Horn of Urgency and summon The Huntsman:
"Into Action!" is his cry! Hunt! ...There, I feel better now. - TTTFITN
