This is for 'Bari', who wrote nice things to me recently after finding my "12 Nights of Christmas" and "A Visit from (St.) Nick" on the new web site, and reminded me of a threat I made. Those were from last year, so, lest there be concern that my sanity had somehow been mysteriously restored in the meantime, I offer to you another brief little bit of sick holiday nonsense. Lucky you! Cool Yule, Happy Holidays, Bright Solstice, Merry Christmas and ... um... (damn! where's my thesaurus?!?) 'Neato' Chanukah to you all! See you at Bridging! ;-) Dianne Dianne la Mercenaire -*- "No, the problem is, if you take him seriously, he's evil; if you notice how WEIRD he is, he's hysterical.

Darling Janette, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, I am a brave knight yet, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, Some Moorish butt I kicked, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, Right before I got bricked, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, *thump* *ka-thump-thump*, *thump* *ka-thump-thump*, Um... where were we now? *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, I have no klew. Janette sighed, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, LaCroix was lurking by, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, It looked like kinky fun, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, Not 'Last chance in the sun!' *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, *thump* *ka-thump-thump*, *thump* *ka-thump-thump*, Then he smiled at me, *ka-thump* *ka-thump-thump*, I had been _scre... um... '_tricked_'. --------------------------------------------------------- Dianne la Mercenaire... -*- "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.
