Actually, I have some suspicions...

I've just converted and uploaded J Sheridan Le Fanu's Green Tea, and read it for the first time. It features a doctor who is a mental specialist, a malevolent monkey, and a toxic green beverage.

Need I say more?

They may say that they've gone to Cancun, but I think they've been twizzling with time again...

crikey.

looks like cancun is not the only one who should (have) be(en) looking over its collective shoulder.

/goes to download "green tea", for reference purposes.

Harv woke up with an incredible hangover. "What the hell just happened?" he asked the sound technician running the board.

"Acoustic overlord."

"Don't you mean overload?"

"That, too."

They're just like a caustic overlord, except they control their serfs with threats of music (e.g. Abba) rather than chemical burns...

Ooooo -- I'll have to use that term next time I run the sound board at church!

Adrian was the lead singer with Marillion on the album Childhood's End???

I can't decide if that explains a lot, or simply makes for worse headaches...

Vera was having some problems with her personal reality. It probably had something to do with slowly freezing to death in the back of an ice truck, but she could not help but feel that her name was Constance and that she was in love with a man named Armistice. What a silly name! She wished that she had her revolver with her. Then remembered that she did not have a revolver. She made a mental note to get a revolver when she got out of this mess.

She wondered what was going on with Vivaldi. And with Dr Montsnmags and Slick. Mostly she wondered when the idiot driving this truck was going to stop and pen the door so she could kick his fundament into next week. She was getting annoyed, now.

Suddenly, the truck lurched to a stop. Vera stood near the door, ready for her one chance. The door swung open and the man there said, "Okay, no funny AAAIIIEEE!" It was amazing what a size eight shoe could do to a man's bravado.

Vera jumped down from the truck and rolled into the other man, who was standing there, going, "Huh?" He wnt down and she finished him with a vicious kick to the head. She hadn't been a riverboat gambler for five years for nothing. Dirty fighting came natural at this point.

Looking around, she assessed the situation. She was in a built up area of a city. She assumed it was Havana, since they had not driven for that long. She had two unconscious thugs in front of her, and a truck with the keys still in. Not bad for a day's work.

Getting in the cab, she gunned the engine and drove off. Behind her, the two thugs looked at each other and said, "There were at least five of them and they were all men bigger than us, right?"

"Got it."
