After some fiercely\ncompetative bidding, the execution contract was awarded to the Amish\nninjas.\n\nThen Nick revealed that the spoilers were more in fun than real spoilers (I\nwas not about to pollute my eyes by reading the spoilers--Nick is obviously\nnot so squeamish about maintaining personal purity until the galga\nsacrament [in this case, OBW] arrives. <g>)\n\nThere was plenty of time to call off the assassins.  Wombat need no longer\nfear the dreaded sound \"clop-clop, clop-clop\" coming after him, slow but\nrelentless.\n\nBesides, David Hartwell already got him back.  Like a wet-towel rat-tail\nwhip flicked to snap precisely at his bare fundament.\n\nO, that wascally wombat! How we LOL at his antics!\n\nMeanwhile, Ori Kowarsky's travel tale really is something.  If we ever have\na Gene Wolfe convention, we really must consider having it there in Bute,\nMontana. Sounds incredible!  Panel attendance would no doubt be unusually\nhigh.\n\n=mantis=\n\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
