Actually, no, I've not seen it - I'll throw it on my list of things to investigate. If I had more time, I really wanted to create some advertising jingles for the infected to have belted out, but perhaps in another entry on another turn. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 11:40, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Morbus, this is absolutely riddled with malapropisms, to say nothing of the big fat dangling modifier in graf 6.  But I don't know whether to copy-edit these out, or whether they are part of the general effect of mild incoherence suggesting that the author is in the early stages of, umm, succumbal.  Please advise.  --[[User:Jcowan|Jcowan]] 12:33, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Unintentional, and not obvious enough to suggest intended affliction (though it's a good idea, I have no desire to keep it for the duration of Ghyll). Copyedit as necessary, and I'll revert anything I prefer stylisitically. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 12:46, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)
 
  
 
You realize that I have a degree in Marketing, right?  Jingles, jingles, jingles...  Hmm, since I'm done with mine and the old brain-wheels are still turning, I may just work on one or two to add as scholar comments! --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 12:58, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Oh, well done! Much better than I'd hoped for when I made the phantom. Actually, what I'd been picturing was Father Jack from the BBC show "Father Ted". He has rather nasty version of Tourette's Syndrome that involves a mere two, or three, topics, depending on how you classify two of them. If you're not familiar with it, the show is well worth finding. --Doctor Phineas Crank 10:06, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Obli's allusions

His doggerel (which is so incompetent, it actually scans and rhymes perfectly) is a mixture of William McGonagall on the Tay Bridge and Lewis Carroll on the Hunting of the Snark. His Parthian shot, of course, alludes to A Tale of Two Cities. --Jcowan 16:00, 29 Sep 2004
