One of us, or just thinks so?

MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32659678/ns ... ?gt1=43001]Japan's next first lady says she rode spaceship
Trouble is, it's "psychic space travel"... but her husband's about to become Premier of Japan, so how would the (stereo)typical Fen treat her?

"I always thought Japan was an interesting place with interesting people," said Ben after reading that bit of news.
"News flash, lover," said Gina, her tone warning of impending snarkage. "Weird attracts weird."
"Doesn't that make you weird?" asked Ben, with a small smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Hardly. My origins..." Gina shuddered slightly at the thought of Neon Genesis Evangelion. "Yeah. But me, no. All the same, though, we'd
better make sure she doesn't get her hands on any handwavium. Skuld only knows what would happen then."
Ben's eyes widened at the thought. "Ee-gads, no kidding!"

Dunno. Strikes me as too much of a pacifist. At least, she does. I dunno about "The Alien."

Benjamin raises his eyebrows as he looks further and further into "The Alien's" history. It isn't long before he begins to compose a brief
email addressed to his friends and Roughrider allies in regards to the wisdom in calling a convention (just the SMOFs and the more important/influental BNFs)
and inviting the new Prime Minister and his wife on up. Hold the guacamole, please.

Spotted on Usenet (Jim diGriz, Message-ID 33q4m1.mti.19.1@news.alt.net): Quote:"Miyuki, also known for her culinary skills, spent six years acting in the Takarazuka Revue"
So she can sing and dance and act. She can probably pilot a steam powered combat mecha too.

*SNERT!* Who knows. Maybe she's already been waved and she's never really quite let on about it.

OMG, I know that last one! It is so friggin' hilarious. Bob, if you don't have that track in Doug's library, you probably should.

Actually, I have his other track, "I Live In A Split Level Head", in Doug's arsenal. It summons a simulacrum of Skitz.
