(slight silliness)

Thank you very much.  You have destroyed years of theraputic work, and
shaken my entire belief foundation.  How did you do this?  Well, Richard,
you killed Ryouga.  Not only did you kill him, you had the daughter of Ranma
and Akane kill him.  That was evil.  Ryouga's death I might have gotten
over, but not this corruption of the Saotome/Tendo line.  This is
unforgivable.  This is a "Cry Havok and let loose the Dogs of War!" level
offence.  This is beyond the trouble that makes you say "Oh, bugger!".  This
is Double Big Mac whammy trouble.  Taste my four all beef patties, special
sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions of Rage on the sesame seed bun of
Justice!!!!  SPOON!!!

(end slight silliness)

I'm sure you had your reasons for killing Ryouga, and I'm sure that they are
good ones, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it.

<begin more silliness>

>From inside a dark cave, the voice of Ryouga is heard:

"I'm not quite dead!"

JDF rephrases:
"I'm sure you had your reasons for *mortally wounding* Ryouga, and I'm
sure that they..."

The voice is heard again:
"I could pull through! Actually, I think I'm all right to have a
further role in this storyline!"

What will be the outcome? Tune in tomorrow...

JD: Actually, Gary, I was going for more of a Tick thing.

GK: Monty-

JD: No, no.  Just Tick.  Although I don't know why I am continuing this.
Tis silly.

Ryouga: What, would it be better if I were dead?

JD: No no, my dear Patsy...Er, Ryoga...Ryouga...Ryooga...Say.  How do you
spell your        name in English?  Inquiring Otaku want to know!

Ryouga:  Easy.  Y-O-U-R N-A-M-E I-N E-N-G-L-I-S-H!  D'oh!!  And I thought
that the otaku          were supposed to be smart.

GK: Hey!  Why have I been regulated to a minor character all of the sudden?

JD: Because.  It is easier to get laughs with Bandanna Boy over there then
with you.      Besides, if I insult him, he can't hunt me down and inflict
massive amounts of pain     on my body.  You can.

(Suddenly, SKJAM! appears out of nowhere!)

SKJAM!: Don't bet on it!

What will happen next?  Does anyone really care?  Will JD find a way to
bring Ryo(u)ga back to life in a fic that he has absolutly no control over?
Will I ever stop asking these stupid questions?  Find out next time!  Same
Otaku time!  Same Otaku Channel!

Otakon '97.  I'll be there.  Will you?
