Elkins's Crouch Trilogy Squared

Eileen asked:
> And has it ever occured to ANYONE other than myself that Barty
> Crouch Sr. was dead sexy?


While I don't know if *I* should be the first one to respond to this
question, hey, when the opportunity arises...

I have, and most definitely always will, find his son to be *way* more
sexier and smarter than Daddy Senior ever will be.  Yes, and more
evil, I will admit Eileen, but come on.  Junior was ever more sly,
dignified, loyal, and driven than his father ever was.  He was an
elegant man even if deep down he was a bit...misguided.  And that to
me is sexy.  Yes, in a *very* twisted sense, but this is a measure of
sexiness not husband qualities.

Though both Senior and Junior shared that passion for their work, I
cannot deny that either.  But, Junior had his cake and ate it too.  He
managed to do his job, albeit an evil job, and enjoy himself.  That
takes real brains, in my opinion, and real spirit.  A dangerous
combination.

So Eileen, while I greatly respect your views on Crouch (to each their
own after all), I will stand and raise a glass with Elkins to honor
Barty Jr. - The man who had fun.
