What's that aroma? }:=8d
Zezhian Dragonfang
Another lazy day in Alfandria. Zezhian, the ocean dragon, swims up to
the beach near his cave. He crawls out of the water to sun himself on the
hematite sand. He ponders the "inponderables" and thinks about the possible
answers to the deep philisophical questions other dragons have posed over the
past month or so. Above, an eagle flies to disappear into the green forests
beyond his dwelling. He idly scratches his blue-green head as his thought turn
to the hunt.
"Hmmm... All the talk I've been hearing about hunting and cheesecake
recently has put me in a mood I haven't felt in ages!"
Although he hasn't had need of his magics for years (outside the
occasional changing to walk amongst the hoomans), his mind pieces together an
incantation.
"Mystical Powers...Jennifer Flowers...ummm... No, that's the wrong
one.."
He cracks his knuckles and starts again.
"I win...YOU win...Edwin Newman...Lee of Kathy...Regis Philbin!"
A crack of mystical energy and a bright flash of darkness obscures the
area momentarily. The black mist clears, and there, before the grinning ocean
dragon, stands a dragon-sized BARBEQUE GRILL!!
"Perfect!!" He fires up the grill and runs into his cave. A moment
later, he comes out in a stupid looking chef's hat and a apron that says:
'...And Some Days, The Dragon Eats YOU!' carrying a HYOOGE platter of ribs,
hamburgers, frankfurters and other tasty commestibles.
Suddenly, music starts playing from the cave. He places a few racks of
ribs on the fire and coats them with barbecue sauce. He then momentarily takes
to the air and shouts:
"BIG BEACH BARBECUE AT ZEZHIAN'S LAIR! ALL OF ALFANDRIA WELCOME!!
C'MON OVER AND HAVE SOME FUN!"
He lands and starts tending the sizzling meat.
Peace;

Greetings, Tephra! Welcome to my humble abode. (*zezhian puts another rack of

thought that since summer's nearly over, I might as well have a little beach
party.

And what's wrong with hematite sand? I think it gives the place a bit of
shimmering beauty.
(*Zezhian turns over the rack of ribs and brushes on more sauce.) How do you
like them done? Care for a drink? I run a dry bar, unfortunately; mostly soda
and fruit drinks. I'll conjure up something stronger if one insists.

Mmmm...
The unmistakable magickal resonances of someone summoning a barbeque
pit ripple through the ocean--little known fact, water carries thaumatic
radiation thirty-seven times more efficiently than air. After a moment,
Tamlin pushes his head out of the salt water. Hazel eyes set against
patches of red and blue scale blink thoughtfully, and then he lowers
himself beneath the waves again.
After no more than thirty draconic heartbeats (seven minutes, to you
wacky mortals) he steps out of the sea, soaking wet and holding a two-
hundred-pound shark in his mouth. He shakes himself off--hope nobody was
standing nearby--and walks to the Altar of Barbeque. <Thump of great
big fish hitting sand.> "Well, then, Zezhian. What can you do with
this? The fish are biting today..." <big grin, only minor scratches along

No, I think you were trying to plug your bar ahead of my restaurant. I
have someone you need to meet up close. Oh, Merlin, Here's Naz, and he
looks like he needs a huuuuuuuugggg! You know, one of those big 650
pound hugs that can squeeze the innards out of a small dragon. <Evil

Naz then finds himself buries under 650 pounds of lion, getting the hug
of his life. Did I mention he loves football, and Hockey? He can get a
little rough, but then he can do that.

Nazaroth takes off, with Merlin on his tail (almost literally). As if
ignoring Darius' warning, a portal forms in front of Naz. At the last
second, Naz makes as if he is going to leap into the portal but flies above
it instead. Caught off guard, Merlin zips throught the portal as it closes
shut.
"Now, how 'bout that?" Naz asks, staying in the air just to be safe.

Yeah, it's a bit difficult to keep up, but it gives the place an eerie, alien
look. After all, we dragons have to keep some mystery about us. ]:=8) By the

[Merlin] What are we doing thats so bad? I've been off of him for
days. Besides all I did was land on him, surely that's happened
before. I am LION, not a dragon. Sheesh, dragons can be so demanding,
just because they're older, some are wiser (NO, not all of you are),
they think they can pick on the smaller species. Give it a REST!

I guess it's an acquired taste. If you _really_ want to see me seriously
squick, show me some head cheese...and completely FORGET blood pudding!
I don't think I'd have the nerve to try fried Calimari, let alone RAW
octopus. I'll leave that for someone braver.

Actually, it's "Particle Man" from the "Flood" CD. From what I gather, it's a
song about goofy superheroes. I don't know what Triangle Man's powers are, but
I wish I had them; he beats everybody!
I had been thinking on that song this morning (after I made a new reel of tape
with TMBG on it...I LOVE 7" reel-to-reel tape!! For that matter, I'm
listening to it as I write this). The song itself may lead into heavy
discussion on a subject that would be SEVERELY off-topic. ("Triangle Man"
being the U.S. President, "Person Man" as a homeless person, etc.)
>"they might be giants, BOOY" my ffavorite off that cd, which ever one it

That song was also off "Flood." It was one of their best albums.
Unfortunately, their "John Henry" album bores me to tears. I hope they snap
out of whatever funk they're in.
Hmmm... talk about "off-topic"...

Echoes of disappointment in John Henry-- and I think I know part of
the problem. Back when it was just John and John, they were sort of
forced to come up with cool new ways to use their synthesizers and
things, and/or occasionally get a friend to walk in and do a track for
them. So there was always a great deal of variety, and the sounds
were never conventional Rock-Band sounds 'cos there was no band.
Now that they've got regular back-up, the sound is much more
homogeneous (like milk-- only different!) from track to track, and
much less distinctively Giants. But there was some good stuff on
there. "O Do Not Forsake Me" goes through my head periodically.
"Meet James Ensor" asnd "Sleeping in the Flowers" are good Giants fun,
"I should be allowed to think" gets in your scathing cultural
commentary, "Dirt Bike" is religious, "Subliminal" is disturbing,
and "Snail Shell" provides the Far-Side-like exercise in perspective.
Thing ya gotta remembner about the Giants is that it takes time to
think up this stuff. Something like four years went by between their
first two albums, and two or three more before Flood (#3) came out.
Taking that rate of output into account, it follows that if they start
releasing albums at the pace other groups do, the quality of material
may not remain as high...
I think the solution is to get them to write some songs about dragons.
