...re-read Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal while waiting to board at Dulles today.  Why don't people write that sort of scathing commentary today?  The world is too politically correct, dammit.

Am not even going to comment on the sheer annoyance that was airport security, save to say that there is no need for me to be strip-searched every single

Oh what tangled webs we weave, when we practice to deceive. Poor Adam, I foresee much stress in his future.

and much mockery from amanda as well. poor boy.

I figure that will be one of the causes of his stress.

**Does the happy dance of more Adam-fic**

I adore Flanders & Swann -- though the song of theirs that always comes to mind first is "I've lost that horn ..." to the Mozart horn concerto.

**Sends cheerful writing vibes**

Cork-lined walls! Yes!

I'm a fan of 'Twenty Tons of TNT', myself -- or well, pretty much *all* of their stuff.

yeah, I picked up the cork-lined walls bit from David Eddings, lo these many years ago.

...and every time I hear the "I've lost my horn" song, I can't help thinking of the M*A*S*H episode in which Charles decided to learn how to play the French Horn.

I only just found this stellar story--where the heck was I??? Great premise, excellent execution. The voices are spot on. It's the highlight of my day...!

Thank you so very much! I'm very glad you're enjoying it!

I love Methos' opinion of The Kurgan. Primitive, indeed!

"I will admit," Darius said -- and there was that damned smirk of his, creeping across his face -- "that seeing you caught up in your own plots is... amusing.

When Duncan finally finds out who Methos is, I desperately need to see Darius telling Mac about some of Methos' more ill-advised plots!

I'll have to keep that in mind. :)
