Albert should have done a quick re-read before he started in - he got some details wrong. It's 'mome raths', not 'nome raths', and 'borogoves', not 'burogoves' or 'borogaves'. Of course, this IS 'Pogo', so that was probably intentional on Kelly's part, but it's interesting that he only got those words right when the rest is letter-perfect.
Still, good stuff, yes. Let us hope and pray that Albert never discovers Shakespeare.

	Well, HE ultimately had that same basic reaction and quit doing it, so... yeah. Of course, it wasn't exactly articulated like that - the stated reason, back in the day, was that he basically felt guilty for 'stealing someone else's happiness' - but it was pretty clear what was meant.

	I was under the impression that the reason Deadman stopped was that the other ghost was a male in life who decided after death to identify as female, and that provoked a certain amount of squick in Boston. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	We may be thinking of different things here - I was referencing one of the classic Denny O'neil stories, where he briefly takes over the body of a young man out on a date with his girlfriend. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
