Ain't You 'Most Done?
James Moar From the Evil Overlord List: No. 116 If I capture the hero's starship, I will keep it in the landing bay with the ramp down, only a few token guards on duty, and a ton of explosives set to go off as soon as it clears the blast-range. ---------- From: "James Moar" <jwm1 at st-and.ac.uk> To: urth at lists.best.com Subject: Ain't You 'Most Done?

The only notable subtleties I caught were the resemblance between the applying of makeup and the change in appearance of a corpse, and the appearances of Dream and Death (which weren't hard to spot, in context).
