You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

If she doesn't know Charles and Maryann, she might know Bill from Kapuskasing.

I'm from Kapuskasing, so sure as shit, I know Bill.

Canada is definitely smaller than you think.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

t takes pity on Jon Charles & Maryann are the fantasy writer Charles deLint and his wife Maryann Harris. They are also both traditional musicians and general social butterflies on the SF scene. If FAQ Girl is into SF at all she might know them or of them.

Also, if she's from Ottawa, she might know my brother Ted who works for PWGS. Ask her!

Backatcha.

See, Canadians expect to be one or two degrees of separation away from everyone else. More than that and we start to feel a little isolated and edgy. So if I know Charles and FAQ Girl knows Charles, we're good. Just knowing of Charles means we need another link.

You'll do, but you'll have to move to Kanata. Or Manotick. Maybe Nepean.

This would put you WAY to close to the members of LOVERBOY for my peace of mind.
