  SYN,

  Nope, not Pratchett.

  Philip K. Dick? Unfortunately I can't name the book, even if I'm right.

  nilfun:

  A more casual dresscode, coupled with the introduction of invisible magazines, has increased the brotherhood's zeal for the ministry.

  Sounds like a good start, Frannie.

  How about starting a thread -- "Mission Impossible Fans - brainstorming needed!" -- and link it back to this thread? Or changing the title on this one.

  Well, not firing on all cylinders this morning, so pardon me if these are too obvious:

  • self-destructing invitations
  • hire escapologist as entertainment

  I was a young adult married homebody when the disco hysteria started. So I mouthed all the arguments: "It's immoral, it's hypnotic, it's gay-influenced..."

  ...and, under my breath, "and it's butt-ugly, too." Truly, I thought it was so jejune; made me sick. But then, my parents raised me on swing music and blues, the Beatles, classical music and rock.

  In decreasing order of importance:

  • Publish a book several books of poetry.
  • Perceive the imperceptible.
  • Make 2-3 times what I make now. This could actually happen.
  • Collect a harem.
  • Move to Arcata, CA.
  • Speak fluent French.
  • Dance.

  If listed in order of likelihood, moving to Arcata would come in dead last.

  Why not, if he'll still answer to that name when you say it. The last prayer I addressed to Jehovah actually embarrassed him; I haven't heard from him since. Nowadays --

  God = Brigid, or any of half-a-dozen other names

  Jehovah = "that sorry phantom I fired some years ago"
