Bangstmeister Jo perked up:

> Did someone say "Bangst-y"?

Yeah.  We gotta get you a ship, Jo.  Definitely.  Maybe a destroyer 
with a huge hole in it.  So you as the captain can be consumed by 
angst as you bail water out of it.  ;-)

Ugh.  Are we onto a new theory here?  A theory that everyone in 
Harry's life will eventually have to make a sacrifice for him?  
Hagrid?  Dumbledore?  Sirius?  Lupin?  Ron?  Hermione?  All of them 
will go out taking a bullet for Harry.

It's plausible, I guess.  And Bangy.  And Bangsty.  But you know 
what that means, don't you?  After all of these people have 
sacrificed themselves for Harry, he'll have to sacrifice himself 
saving the wizarding world.  In Book 7.  Otherwise, all of those 
other hideous deaths of all of Harry's friends will have no meaning.

Oh, this is gonna get bloody, huh?  ;-)

And on a different subject . . . 

Becky wondered:

>chapter?

Hey, sure.  Why not?  I think the more descriptive the subject 
header, the better.  So I think "OOP: Ch. 2 -- Hagrid" is fine.  

I'd have trouble with "OOP: Ch. 2 -- Hagrid Has All The Water Sucked 
>From His Body By The Giant Squid," though.  ;-)

figured out how to order a copy of the British version
