Speaking in behalf of **Fenris** , and presuming the willing help of **Eve** , the three of us shall together undertake to hold up the tradition he has begun on this board of erudite, witty, biting, Parkeresque puns and parodies. I shall handle the vanilla prose puns, **Fenris** will be responsible for verse parody, and **Eve** will of course add his quota of scathingly witty remarks à la Dorothy Parker to her own. ---
