    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;... or so I thought.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#8217;t think that the government would try to spike your coffee a little at a time, over the course of years, with a drug that would make you their willing tool of Terror.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;d figure that there is no way that they could predict how often I&amp;#8217;d need coffee, whether I&amp;#8217;d like the coffee, whether I&amp;#8217;d be attracted to the counter girl, and other factors that come into play when slowly drugging someone with precise amounts of what I gather is a rare, rare drug.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;d figure wrong.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hated Carol for her innocent smile, prominently displayed cleavage, her seemingly sincere interest in how my day was going&amp;#8230; all just cruel foreplay. She smiled like a wolf as she poured me my destiny. She obviously had a plan. All she needed was the Huckleberry.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;All this meant little to me when the jukebox played &lt;em&gt;California Uber Alles&lt;/em&gt;. I suddenly got up, quite involuntarily, and Carolina blew me a kiss. It mattered not&amp;#8230; I was off to kill Kim Jong Il.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Foreword&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hate when some author gets feeling all profound and names his/her novel something pompous like &lt;em&gt;The Velvet Squirrel&lt;/em&gt; or something. None of that nonsense here, nope.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;What I&amp;#8217;m looking for am be 2 things:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;1) An attention-grabbing title&lt;br /&gt;2) Something not unlike turning on a bug-zapper that attracts maniacs.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;ve made it this far&amp;#8230; well, based on the title, I&amp;#8217;ve found what I&amp;#8217;m looking for. Enjoy yourselves, and clean up after.&lt;/p&gt;
