This one goes out to Ann Barnhardt,

Friend, drinking-buddy veteran of too many mad booze-ups to count, fellow-Malta freak, founding member of the Catholic Bitch-Queen from Hell club I’m proud to be a member of and third party in our Roman Furies cabal.

I wish I could buy you a nice new gun for your collection. But we’ll have to settle for tearing up the town next time you’re here.
