ANs: It's bad when even I don't know what I'm smoking to come up with this. But I'll shift the blame again: this time it's the old Batman & Robin TV show at fault.

Lysander Granger-Snape knew a Powerful Word. It was 'Merlin'.

He had found out as an eight-year-old thinking of swears that wouldn't get him walloped by Father. (Or guilted by Mum.) And it just popped out: "Merlin's Frosted Cupcakes!"

And *poof*! A half-dozen frosted cupcakes.

The phrase was ridiculous, but the benefits of cupcakes were undeniable. So he tried again: "Merlin's Marshmallows!"

He became quite ill afterwards. But he learned how to use the Word.

But now he was fourteen and there were things more important than food.

"Merlin's Playboy Magazine!"

Oh, well. Mum would've found it and walloped him, anyway.
