Does this strike anyone as a

Actually, yes.  Ladies and gents, this is a fan-FICTION list.  All works
here are FICTION, and based upon FICTION.  If we can suspend our belief
enough that we can enjoy stories about women with dimensional mallets,
spaceships that are trees, men who change into women with a splash of
water, or cat androids that kick ass and chew mice, then surely,
suspension of belief of a force that most of us will probably never
directly enounter should be simple by comparison.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
