<p>I will not have sex in a box.<br />
I will not have sex in my socks.<br />
I will not savor sex with boys.<br />
I will not practice sex with toys.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
<br />
I will not play with whips or chains.<br />
Nor pleasure in another's pains.<br />
Though passion waxes, stills, and wanes.<br />
<br />
So take that penis far away!<br />
Virgin I'll stay!<br />
Hip hip hooray!</p>]]></description>

<p align="justify">Greetings!  My name is Lauzoril, and I am a former zulkir of the Red  Wizards of Thay.    I was forced to flee my homeland when Szass Tam made  his bid for power, leaving behind my vast wealth of precious coins,  gems, and magical artifacts.  You were recommended to me as someone  trustworthy whose assistance I could count on in regaining reacquiring  my lost personal fortune as the authorities of Cormyr will only allow  such a transfer in the name of a Cormyrian citizen in good standing,  such as yourself.  For a small investment of only 1000 gold pieces to  demonstrate good faith, I will happily share 15% of my vast wealth with  you, an amount easily in excess of 15 million gold pieces!  If you are  interested, then please contact me as soon as possible so that I may  visit you in your lovely home to discuss details.<br />
<br />
Respectfully yours,<br />

Not neutral anymore, I want it to turn black<br />
I see great multitudes with X's in their eyes<br />
I smile and laugh as something good inside me dies<br />

Strange voices call to me, inside me evil grows<br />
A strength only the Monster in the Darkness knows<br />
I see the Order of the Stick turning away<br />
The line between the dark and light now fades to gray<br />
<br />
I see my red robe and my choice to turn it black<br />
It's clear, I've gone Majere, no way to take it back<br />
Will it turn red again, there is no telling when<br />
But when the killing starts, I'll see that shade again<br />
<br />
I'll crush the world beneath my heel and fake a plan<br />
I'll tear down nations, all creation if I can<br />
<br />
I'll destroy anyone who's ever slighted me<br />
This bleak world's day has come, that's how it has to be<br />

Die!<br />

Aah, aah, aah,... [tortured wailing]</p>

											<description><![CDATA[<p>[One of my friends started a rant on Facebook about her husband's  constant whining, and other women started chiming in.  I commented that  their little discussion had the makings of a great country song with an  aside that men who listen to lots of country music might possibly be  more prone to whining (she lives in Tennessee).  Anyway, I got bored and  decided to give it a try, parodying an old favorite.  And yes, mangina  is their word, not mine.  Um... enjoy? Set to the tune of <em>Lovesick Blues</em> by Patsy Cline.]<br />
<br />
Got a stupid grown man here, oh, Lord<br />
All he does is whine and moan<br />
I'm not his mom, he's not my son<br />
All I do is sit and cry, oh, Lord<br />
That last long time he whined and moaned<br />
Oh, Lord, I thought I'd kill him<br />
Kick him where the sun don't shine and watch the tears fallin'<br />
But, Lord, I love to listen when he begs me for mercy<br />
So well-dressed and well-groomed<br />
In touch with his feminine side<br />
I think I must be doomed<br />
I've taken all I can stand, somehow<br />
And he ain't still the man I married now<br />
'Cause I'm fed up<br />
'Bout his mangina blues<br />
<br />
Now I'm in love, I'm in love with a womanish guy<br />
That's what's the matter with me<br />
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a womanish guy<br />
But my man can't hardly see<br />
Well, I try and try to keep him satisfied<br />
But much to my despair<br />
Angsty with self-pity, he really needs to grow a pair<br />

I wrote this little song<br />
About the way I feel<br />

I want to keep it real<br />

Like it's such a big deal<br />
But we can get along<br />

Don't want to treat you like a case of angina<br />
Wouldn't give you up for all the tea in China<br />
Oh, my penis needs a hug from your vagina<br />
<br />
Now won't you hear me out<br />
'Fore you march out the door<br />
Don't stop to scream and shout<br />
Can't take it no anymore<br />
<br />
So don't you make me pout<br />
Since you know I'm hardcore<br />

<br />
And now, my fate is clear,<br />
I've loved and lost, and now I'm hurtin.'<br />
I've held her close, I've called her dear,<br />
I've freaked her out, that much is certain.<br />
<br />
Oh, why?&nbsp; Why must I fail,<br />
With every girl who makes me sigh, eh?<br />
To reminisce, the answer's this,<br />
I did it my way.<br />
<br />
Mistakes?&nbsp; I've made a few,<br />
I've poked some fun at her religion.<br />
I've lurked her home, I've stalked her, too,<br />
I've suffered from great indecision.<br />
<br />
Oh, why?&nbsp; How fool am I?<br />
Why must I screw up every time, eh?<br />
To reminisce, the answer's this,<br />
I did it my way.<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm so whipped, that's my folly,<br />
Just like a neutered border collie.<br />
I'll bring you here, I'll pay airfare,<br />
I'll fork the dough, but you won't care.<br />
Well, so it goes.&nbsp; I suffered woes.<br />
And did it my way.<br />
<br />
So please, give me a chance,<br />
And I will love you like no other.<br />
I need you so, I need romance,<br />
I need a wife, just ask my mother.<br />
<br />
For thee, I'll bend one knee,<br />
I'll even be Canadian, eh?<br />
This plea.&nbsp; My sweet decree.<br />
I did it my way.<br />
<br />
Yes, there've been girls, I've known a few,<br />
Whom I have loved, who've been so untrue.<br />
I know my faults, I'm not a surgeon,<br />
But I'm still cool, I'm not a virgin,<br />
There is no doubt I whipped it out,<br />
And did it my way.<br />
<br />
Yes, it was my way.</div>]]></description>

<p align="center">- <strong>FOREWORD</strong> -</p>
<div align="justify">
<p>Y'know, this is going to sound kind of funny from someone introducing a book, but I can't stand stories about magic, I'm not a fan of the Vertigo line of books, and John Constantine never pulled my interest as a character. In fact, I thought, if ever there was a more useless character in all the world of comicdom, a character that would *never* make it to the DCF, Constantine WAS that guy. It would be impossible for me to care about this character.<br />
<br />
But boy, was I wrong. And I've never been so GLAD to be wrong.<br />
<br />
Dave has done something that's very rare in the world of fiction - professional, fanfic, whatever... he has taken a character, certainly not a mainstream one, and made that character interesting to folks that were never interested in him before while keeping the regular fans happy. That's not an easy thing.<br />
<br />
Maybe it's the lack of dark, distracting, 'let's-see-how-much-black-ink-we-can-get-on-this-page type of art that improves this book in the eyes of the non-fan. Maybe it's the interaction with the mainstream for a change. Maybe it's the talking dog. Or, dare I go back to it, maybe it's just Dave's writing.<br />
<br />
Something along those lines.<br />
<br />
All I know, folks, is that a character I had never given a second thought to one way or another now has my attention when I see a new issue. That's magic, people. Pulling off the impossible</p>
