(Scene: a small white, bald room in a Washington, DC airport. Two men in nondescript suits wait as several military police drag in a cocooned figure that is dropped into a chair.)
Military Policewoman #1: Evolution is a disease.
Man in Suit #1: (in a monotone, which he maintains throughout) God's Grace shine on thee, America.
(The Policewoman nods, and taps the figure cocooned in tape.)
MP #1: Here's the delivery, as promised.
Suit #1: Did he give you any trouble?
MP #1: Nah. He was about to proposition me, just as his file suggests, when I gave him the needle. Operation Happosai was a piece of cake.
Suit #2: Don't underestimate him. Darkpoet, as he calls himself, is a ruthless pervert whose crimes exceed even Heliogabalus.
MP #1: Did he work for Clinton in Defense?
Suit #2: No. Roman emperor.
MP #1: I thought they were running a democracy after we kicked the Fascists' asses out.
Suit #1: Nevermind. You did your duty. Let it go at that.
MP #1: What happens to this Darkpoet traitor after this?
Suit #2: Advanced brainwashing, most likely. Reprogramming him to report to us. Maybe a slot on the Christian Network, if he's got stage presence. The usual.
(The scene fades to black.)

"Surveillance"? So you are the one acting suspiciously lately around my flat...Originally posted by Waverly:
<STRONG>Alright Minerva, I may let you off this time... but I will continue to keep you under *heavy* surveillance. I'll be reviewing video of you daily</STRONG>
We received a warning from the university's security about a man with dark hair and wearing a coat (in this warm weather) with video camera in his hand..."Strength without wisdom falls by its own weight."

My bath...? You've got a wrong address, because my university flat only has a shower with no window.Originally posted by Waverly:
<STRONG>Nope, that wasn't me. I was the one with the zoom lense aimed at the window in your bath.
You probably took photographs of a kitchen lady or a cleaner. "Strength without wisdom falls by its own weight."

Um.. I don't have my diary to find what exactly UK size 10 is in the US. It's 38/40 in European size.Originally posted by fable:
<STRONG>What's a UK size 10 in non-UK terms, minus the shillings, pence, and left-side of the road driving?
We don't use shillings any more. £1=100pence.
And the left-side driving is the correct side.

Maybe a UK 10 is the same as a US 10, in which case you're slightly slimmer than average. Sound right?
And driving on the left side of the road is merely a vestigal notion left over from cars used in Saxon days. Brits are soooo conservative.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
