Frankenbuddha:
Is it better than Shakespeare's Gay Boys in Bondage ?
I don't know how Shakespeare knew, several hundred years before it happened, about the biggest band to come out of Idaho. Perhaps you've heard of their album, "68 Goin' On 69"?
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

"Gay Boys in Bondage" is also an old Monty Python skit (and may be the episode title).

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
a ha - thanks Consuela. So if I read Downbelow Station first, then Merchanter's Luck I might have some more background on what's going on.

There's a whole Pirate/Ninja/Dwarf/Elf Ontology...If the bastard spawn of an elf and a dwarf is a dwelf, than what do we call the lovechild of a ninja and a pirate? And would he prefer the cutlass or the katana?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
arby, conversely, Merchanter's Luck is terse and relatively short. If you like dense and plotty, go Downbelow Station first. But if you're not sure you're going to like the 'verse, Luck might be a good appetiser.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
than what do we call the lovechild of a ninja and a pirate? And would he prefer the cutlass or the katana?
There would come a time in the child's life when he or she would have to choose one way, and either follow the pirate path, or that of the ninja. Much like how Spock had to choose the human or the Vulcan way as a child.

cutlass or the katana?
Cutana? Katlass? If they can mix animals, why not weapons?
