Well and truly lost. How could it be this dark out? It’s only a little after seven. And the wind! This dust blowing -- I can’t see more than fifty feet… She walked slowly along the roadside, stopping every so often to look around for something she remembered seeing before. And seeing nothing but the sand. I haven’t seen anything I recognize! Lost. I’m lost. She hadn’t even seen a T-barrier in the last ten minutes... My first day here, and I’m lost. And I don’t know if anybody even knows I’m out here… Thank God the road... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/lost.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/lost.html Tue, 08 Apr 2008 03:12:25 -0600 Dark Lord Sly just rolls off the tongue as smoothly as frozen SoCo.

Now, waitaminnit -- I detect the stench of historical revisionism! If memory serves me (and it *does*), the DL tag appeared during a certain VC comment stream that went something like: Cassie: "Dear Lord, Sly." Mizz Sly: "You meant 'Dear Lord Sly'." Or words to that effect. As HF6 so cogently reminds us, commas *are* important. Which is not really germane to the thread, but I haven't snarked her in a while. So, Mizz Sly isn't a *Dark* Lord, she's a *Dear* Lord.
