Ok Cintra, why aren't you writing some cool throw-back pulpy style novel set in present time. Or even better, a screen play. Rip out the first draft in a fortnight, and wrangle to final over a month of bad diner food and coffee. We'll get Guy Rithie to direct.

Ay caramba, the 90s. A few friends of mine were part of a world-champion ultimate frisbee team in those days (yes, the sport has a world championship), and I would come watch some of their tournament play. Most UF players are lean and lanky and very white, but there was a guy on one team my friends often played against who was always tan and looked like a young A. Schwarzenegger. At some point I brought him up in conversation with my UF pals and they just said "oh he takes steroids." And you could just look at the guy and not help think "that is *not* going to go well for you, some day, friend."
