"It's a deal, then?"  Cindy shakes Dicentra's hand 
enthusiastically and begins to shoo the lurking Snapetheories 
from the upper decks. 
 Dicentra high-fives the crew.<<<<<<<<<<


Pippin, heavily wrapped in cape, muffler and sunglasses, is 
enjoying a sunlit stroll on the on the deck of the good ship 
LOLLIPOPS when she notices a commotion across the Bay. 
What's this? Snapetheories are being dissed! She longs to 
rescue them but...she knows the rules...

Pippin whips out her binoculars, which are really hard to use 
while you have sunglasses on, and scans the shoreline. What's 
this? Yes,  two  can(n)ons, overlooked by Dicentra. Pippin 
launches a lifeboat, hastily loads the can(n)ons aboard, rows 
over to the Big Bang and begs  Captain Cindy to accept these 
can(n)ons in exchange for any Snapetheories who feel they are 
no longer welcome on the Big Bang. Marina, always in favor of 
reaching out to the ill-treated, stands on the shoreline and 
applauds.

Pippin totes the can(n)ons onto the deck of the Big Bang:
"I believe you overlooked this," she says, putting one can(n)on in 
place beside Dicentra's third.

A haddock, may I remind you, is a fish! Yes, Harry's wand turned 
into a symbol of a major  biblical figure. 

And speaking of that major biblical figure, weren't we just 
wondering why Harry had to spend *three* days unconscious in 
the hospital wing in PS/SS, when there was no plot reason for 
him to do so?

 Could it be P.H.I.L.O.S.O.P.H.E.R.S.S.T.O.N.E.?

Dicentra and Cindy nod appreciatively, accept Pippin's 
can(n)ons, and the grateful Snapetheories, glad to know 
someone had pity on their plight, swarm aboard the lifeboat. 
Pippin rows back toward the LOLLIPOPS, hoping that another 
ship will soon appear to give these refugees a permanent home.

Pippin
glad that somebody explained what those <"))><  thingies were 
supposed to be and hoping nobody will claim that  the 
Snapetheories are doomed to wander the Bay until they 
acknowledge Stoned!Harry's true significance.   (j/k)
