<This is being done by special request, and his check better clear.>
I think it will but... well, let's just say I'm going to be a 
Congressman when I grow up.

<> Welcome and enjoy.

Master: Of my own free will?>

Flashman: No, more like kicking and screaming.

SKJAM!:  Technically, these disclaimers don't protect you at all.  
But it is polite to mention the creators by name, either up top or in 
the notes at the end.>

Flashman: True.  But with TRIO there are so many different creators 
and there are so many other factors that I haven't yet written, that 
a creators list will have to wait till the end of the story.

<SKJAM!: So why *does* she dress that way?  To make opponents 
underestimate her?  Her Mom dressed her this morning?  She simply has 
no taste?>

Flashman: She's color blind.

<Master: I enjoy a good minuet myself.

SKJAM!: Waltzes are more my style.

Buffy: No way!  Mosh pits or nothing!>

Flashman: Hey!  What about the Tango?!

<Buffy: No fair!  Heroines should always get to finish their speeches 
right before gutting the bad guy.>

Flashman: If I did that, Chap 1 would be three times as long.

<>of energy with a cry of, "MOON PRINCESS HALATION!!!!"

Buffy: Again, huh?

SKJAM!: You got me.>

Flashman: "Moon Princess Illusion" it makes about as much sense as 
"Sparkling Wide Pressure" but there's the translation.

<SKJAM! (Before Buffy can say anything): Or "Bunny", Sailor Moon's 
civilian name.>

Flashman: Actually, Bunny is the LOOSE translation of Usagi.  The 
more correct (and the one less likely to set femminist groups on the 
war path) is "Rabbit".

<Master: That means Snatcher wins by a TKO!  I love it when the bad 
guys triumph!>

Flashman: Hey.  It happens every now and then.

<Buffy: Could Snatcher actually have feeling for Warp?  Or is he just 
worried about his ride?>

Flashman: Considering what we learn about Snatcher later, I'd say the 
latter.

<Buffy:  That means lunch, right?  This kid is pretty easily 
distracted.>

Flashman: It also makes you wonder what Goku was thinking when he 
named him.

<SKJAM!: A note here.  Both Ranma and Usagi are notoriously bad at 
English...>

Flashman: I'll explain that in the next chapter.

<SKJAM!>
