He might have entered this little beauty, allegedly by his super-Lensman Kim Kinnison:

Qadgop the Mercotan slithered flatly around the after-bulge of the tranship. One claw dug into the meters-thick armor of pure neutronium, then another. Its terrible xmex-like snout locked on.

What, no link? Darn! *grin*

I'm always, well 'amused' isn't quite the word. Um, I find it interesting how many people go back to the Funky Looks of their youth when they start to feel old. It's a clear sign that they're feeling insecure, I'd say.

So, you'll know when I start to wear tightly pegged jeans with other '80's paraphanalia that I'm worried. *snerk*
