Sheesh!

Zen the Heretic-

Zen, I think you need to talk to Bridget about this. *She's* the one who
sicced Rumiko "Leatherface" Takahashi on Sean Gaffney and myself. 

Moi?  Would I do a thing like that?

I
agree, what she does in the Mermaid series is pretty gruesome. (Maybe
she ain't so sweet and adorable after all? Maybe she has an evil twin
sister who does the Mermaid stuff? Maybe she *does* have a bloody
McCulloch stashed under a floorboard somewhere...)

You are given a choice.  Behind each door is Rumiko Takahashi.  Problem is,
one of them is the Takahashi of Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, and Urusei
Yatsura.  The other is the Takahashi of the Mermaid series.

They look exactly alike.

Choose.

In any event I'd better get some drop cloths for my floor for the next
time she comes calling. You wouldn't believe how hard this stuff is to
get out of the carpet. I can empathize with Kasumi now because of this.

But *which* Kasumi?
