In reply to Leon Arnott (l). Losing your virginity is much easier and much less traumatic than losing your mind. Trust me on this.

“I remember [my friend Allison] describing, with relish, the brain-eating scene from Hannibal when the novel first came out: ‘No, listen, it’s really fascinating, because you get to see how the guy’s responses change as they cut off different parts of his brain…’ She’s a psychiatrist now, of course.”

Makes sense. Dentists have bad teeth, chiropractors have back problems, podiatrists have bad feet… Do we see a pattern here, nyao?

Leon: Actually, it looks like the mad scientists like to play one-up about their "breakdown" stories. I don't see where Dr. Fowler has any cause to be snippy; Helen had more casualties, and her victims weren't sitting ducks! (Or, no more than any "mere mortal" in the face of Mad Science.) On the other hand, she did have access to a restaurant kitchen! (Hint: Never start a fight in a kitchen, especially the victim's kitchen!)

The original story begins November 12, 2002 in the old series (thank you Firefox “Page Info” function), at “When Octavius Winter told people . . . .”

Holy crap, that was such a good story. Shaenon, I can't wait for you to do some more fiction writing.

None of the rest of us can see the file names easily either. Now, here's the tricky part. How do you think we discovered that story in the first place? I think there was three or four of us that figured it out at about the same time.

@ all you guys with the backstory advice: Thanks! Apparently the way I read the comic doesn't actually allow for me to LOOK at the darned file names without specifically clicking on each image and copying the file name and pasting it somewhere else. At the start of this was "she said at" so I'd have had to find where it started in the old series (cause it didn't start at the first). Looking all that up would have been nightmarish though, so I'm REALLY glad for that scribd link. ^.^

And yeah, I realize that scribd messed up the line breaks. It still is better than the first revision, where it inserted them in the middle of words.

@eddurd: I have cleaned up the formatting and punctuation of that page, actually. Here you go: http://www.scribd.com/doc/56539816/Narbon.

(TUNE: "Chapel Of Love", The Dixie Cups)

They had ... dinner in the bistro-o, where ...
Helen went cra-a-a-zy ...
Helen was a beast, so-o there!
When she went cra-a-a-zy,
Nine were dead at least, tho-ough the
Details are ha-a-a-zy ...
Helen ... in the Bistro ... of Death!
