Uh oh, didn’t notice **Fenris** ’s continuation. **E** is for **Exgineer** , who leapt off a bridge… **KellyM** : I’m also not sure why you’re offended. _The Gashlycrumb Tinies_ is one of Ed Gorey’s most admirable works, IMHO, and surely ten paper cuts isn’t the worst way to go? ---

F is for Fenris, who lived because almost nothing rhymes with bridge, except for midge, and it’s too early to come up with a joke about Archie comics. ---

**Fenris** : After consulting with my beloved (she, the keeper of the funtime in bed and also most other things I’d like to do at least once more before I die;)), we have come to the conclusion that: 1. all screennames starting with F are on temporary restriction other than **fizzestothetop** 2. They will become okay to use again once you use that one. This will forgive your Grand Disservice to me and that means WE CAN BE FRIENDS AGAIN! MY EVER-BEAUTIFUL PUMPKIN SEED! MY MUFFIN OF PROSPERITY AND YOUTH! WE CAN BE TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN! ---
