Sig Lad was infuriated.  Not only was the first draft of the picture of Acton 
Lord an immortalization of Sig Lad's worst defeat, not only did he have the 
most slip-shodly designed costume in it (obviously designed *after* the 
character outline was drawn on the paper), *not only* was his costume a hideous
puke green in the first draft, but now the copy to be GIFed had him wearing 
red instead!  And as anyone who has read a Marvel comic knows, a change of 
costume from green to red means a switch from good to evil (no kidding!  
Phoenix, Iron Fist, Sersi...)!  Being made evil made him furious!  In fact, 
he'd better put down that crystal from a fragmented Cosmic Plot Device he 
picked up in an earlier scene before he gets too angry...uh oh...
     YES!  Emboldened by his anger and the fact that he not only ran the 10m 
dash in 2.52 seconds at COSI today but also threw a fastball all of 48 mph, Sig
Lad undergoes yet another transformation...into Action Lord! You thought he was
just a typo, but NO!  Leaping into a wormhole, Action Lord set out on his 
insidious plan to foil Acton Lord by leaping *back in time* to previous posts 
and replace Acton Lord at crucial junctures!  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
     Meanwhile, Acton Lord, beginning to sense that he was being blamed for 
things he didn't do, stood uncertainly at the threshhold of the Lettercol.  As 
he was about to take the fateful plunge, he hear a strange, warped, vocoded 
voice behind him, "LoOk At mE!!!"
     Acton Lord gasped!  "Oh no!  It's Ned the Giant Eyeball from Outer Space!"
     "yEs ACtoN LoRd, aNd i See tHat yOur rEIgN oF TerRor iS aBouT Up!," cried 
Ned as he bounced over to Acton Lord, intent on knocking him into that most 
dreaded and deadly of realms, the Editor's Remarks Column!
     Suddenly, due to an unfortunate typo, Ned rammed Action Lord instead, who 
at the time was back on Earth KaTeFaN.  Irked, Action Lord slamdunked Ned into 
an anonymous ftp site in Idaho, breaking the backboard in the process.  Action 
Lord then looked back along Ned's trajectory and saw Acton Lord.  "The game is 
afoot!" he shouted and leaped toward his more evil twin.
     Acton Lord smirked.  "Can't you see there is no point in fighting me 
anymore?  We are identical now...both evil, both with the same initials."
     "Not quite!  For I is in me!" declaimed Action Lord.
     "Don't you mean 'I *am* in me'?"
     "No, the letter 'i' is in me, not you."
     "He does not have to shoot you now," wittily rejoined Acton Lord.
     "Oh no, I saw that cartoon too, you know.  And if you try to get me into 
that routine, you know as well as I that Netiquette lad will flame us both onto
rec.arts.animation.  Trust me, those flames can really ruin your wardrobe."
     Acton Lord grinned, for as he had planned, Action Lord's expostulation 
gave him time to prepare a devastating slide show on atheletic injuries.  
Quickly, he turned it on, and instantly every muscle in Action Lord's body 
began to feel the pain of his day's exertions, pain ignored previously by dint 
of many aspirin and a large pizza.
     "ARGH!"  shouted Action Lord.
     "So long, brother," said Acton Lord, as he gently nudged his twin into the
Lettercol...
     Dave Van Domelen, you can stop sending me Drek stuff now...
