Look at this column! [http://www.teemings.com/issue10/scylla.html](http://www.teemings.com/issue10/scylla.html) My God! It’s a masterpiece! How much does **Teemings** charge for a subscription? I hope it’s as little as $19.95 a year. That would be quite a bargain! ---

I haven’t read my own article since I sent it off to Euty to be published. Looking at it now, I’m glad it still holds up. In fact, I found one of my own lines funny! I must say this is a fine addition to an already good issue. ---

SIG LINE! Generally speaking, Leopard’s are attractive and appealing animals. They are beautiful and efficient examples of nature’s wonder and diversity. It’s easy to see why you’d want to boink one. – Scylla 😛 ---

Hey Euty - Dude, I’m sorry all those articles I edited and sent to you this weekend were apparently too late to make it in. Everyone, I just want to take this opportunity to say that Euty is FAR too lenient with me about getting things back to him. This issue’s contributors are paying the price for my slackerdom (things like the “tit” remark above, for example, would have been fixed if I’d gotten the last batch of articles done sooner). I’m sorry. Start yelling at me sooner, Euty… that falsetto screech that creeps into your voice when you’re panicking is a real motivator. ---

This issue’s contributors are paying the price for my slackerdom (things like the “tit” remark above, for example, would have been fixed if I’d gotten the last batch of articles done sooner). Um, well, actually, that’s my fault, folks. I edited that article. I did. But I didn’t send it back. I can’t remember why. _But I know I fixed that, because I knew it was a typo._ I ran in to some personal problems a little while ago, and Troy & Euty covered my butt for me this issue. But on that particular typo, if anyone deserves a reaming, it is _me,_ not Troy. My deepest apologies, Scylla. But yeah, that screech does get one going, doesn’t it, Troy? Ouch! ---

I was about to throw a fit and demand that my contributor’s fee be doubled for having suffered from this egregious error. After all, it would be impossible for me to have made that mistake since I was using the latest version of Microsoft Word with its context sensitive spell-checker. Clearly some gross active incompetance was involved. Than a rare thing happened. Before I decided to go off all half-cocked I checked the copy of the Word document that I submitted. The misspelling was there. $120 for the new version of Word, with all it’s hyperbolic promises, all so much ashes in the wind. Fucking Microsoft. And, I really can’t fault the editors, who were clearly wise enough to realize the importance of putting my column before Fenris’ [sub]You can still double my fee, though.\*\* ---

Now the question is … do I correct it for accuracies sake or keep it the way it is for sheer entertainment value? ---
