Forgotten goodies, corrections, and additions

[mprice]

As I've been doing the reviews of the stories, there are some things that I later realized I should have included. Others have made suggestions of lines to include, and our ever-helpful Japanese speakers have expanded on other information.

I suppose I should say that it's the only time he's punched someone without provocation.

Nah. Lawrence provides provocation simply by existing.

Excellent point. ;-D

Dorian kicks AND punches seajackers (I think those are two different people but I may be wrong).
That he does. But since he was attempting to defend himself, I'd say it was provoked. Sort of. And they do beat the snot out of him because of it. ;-D

That was my reaction to the, er...garments on the clothesline.

Klaus: Add a little backbone to that intellect of his and you’d have quite a man.
*Actually, you’d have Dorian, Major.*

Agreed. XD

DRAMATIC SPRING

>CMX has him as Gian Maria Vololante. The fan translation has his name as Gian-Maria Borobollonte.

His name is Gian Maria Volovolontè (Aoike yasuko koushiki character guidebook)
The origin of his name is an Italian actor.
Gian Maria Volontè
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0002231/

ボロボロンテ：Volo(ボロ)/ + volo(ボロ) / ntè(ンテ)→Volo(volo)ntè

*wahahaha!　Aoike‐san

P-99 One of the good old gangsters, gabon,isn't here.
gabon:japanese text=ギャバン氏

I suppose CMX's books are written in English,
They spell it English. Perhaps.

But if so, Which is correct, Vololante or Borobollonte?
Please tell me, English speakers! :-)

The fan version might be a translation conversion, because a "V" is pronounced as a "B" in Italian. (And remember what I said about R & L being interchanged.)

ボロボロンテ：Volo(ボロ)/ + volo(ボロ) / ntè(ンテ)→Volo(volo)ntè
Volo becomes Boro -- Boro + bolo + nte (They may have added the second 'l' to make it sound more Itailian.)

Right, the Mafia don is named after an actual Italian actor as maki_t says, I suppose "Vololante" could be more accurate.

Counting one note per second would take 999,999 seconds = 16,666.6 minutes = 277.7 hours = 11.5 days

Perhaps James counts faster than that. Everyone acknowledges that he is ...exceptional.

I still think he's an alien. ;-D
