   I MEANT to be vague.   Though in my mind Ebonics
Lad and the car were turned into
I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Butter.

   And why do you ASSUME that using Peelix and Ebonics
Lad were really my idea.  I *WROTE* it but the plot
was by Jesse N. Willey *AND* Dane Martin.  I pitched
the idea to Dane, he said: "Will Peelix be in it?" I
said "No."  Then he said: "Will Peelix be in it?" I
said "No." Then he said: "Will Peelix be in it?"  To
which said: "Why, yes, he is."   As for Ebonics Lad,
Tom had told me privately (and on the list) that he
wished he'd never created the character and could
somebody please kill him.   I thought since this
storyline was chock full of Tom Russell characters as
it was... it'd be the perfect place.

  Give me thirty minutes...  I do the final edits and
post it.  Dane (the co-creator, co-plotting lunatic of
Onion Lad) and Martin (the guy who does my proofing)
have already given me the go ahead.  Of course, Martin
only said that issue #5 was funny... he made no such
assertion about #4 so maybe I should post that
instead.
