Everyone else has been casting themselves. Time to tackle the plot...
We could do a murder mystery: Zero, stabbed to death with a butterknife.
His death is investigated by crack coroner Billo and top-cop Stan.
Or a stylized murder mystery: Hound murders the english language, Zen and
mule hunt him down.
Or a greek tragedy: King Sunbeam murders Geno and sleeps with Gekko, only
to find out they were his parents. Being a good conservative, he resigns
from office after being impeached by the chorus.
Or a monster movie: Lost in a storm, Blanche, Kmad, Eliska, Keltic,
Pritchard, and Dick Harper knock on FRM's door, seeking shelter from the
storm. One by one, the victims disappear. In the climactic scene, Blanche
confronts FRM and his sinister servant, Mugwump in a "Ripley vs. the Alien
Queen" face-off.

Hehehe. Well, she is only a year younger than I am, but she might need some
padding in the torso area - she could borrow some from the Mrs. Doubtfire set.
Some extra wrinkles here and there, some sharpening of the nose and chin, and
she just might do. Only thing that bothers me is that her ankles are thicker
than mine. <G>

Jamie Lee Curtis was an excellent suggestion - except that I think our gekko is

Stan was correct. Read the sentence without "and Billo" or "Billo and".
Would you say, "Said investigation to consist of me walking into the
room and immediately declaring, "Suicide!"
or would you say, "Said investigation to consist of I walking into the
room and immediately declaring, "Suicide!"

well... i think we have another case
of "rules in contradiction" here.
in such a case, i would suggest:
"Billo and myself"
it works... while elevating the grammar just a tad.

Um. No.
<http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/>
Click on the "Go to Errors" link and then check the "I me myself"
explanation.
addendum: Zen says the use is as a gerund and should be preceded by "my"
as in "my walking into the room." I sez, "a missing comma?" as in
"investigation to consist of me, walking into the room..." The grammar
battles continue.

It what happens when you do that, plus come off of an eternal "low fat"
diet, and start eating lunch at work.
It's bad.

Awww, come on! The sinister servant is the *best* role in those old horror
movies. He gets to creep everyone out withouth actually doing anything. And
it is rare that the sinsiter servant actually dies, since he gives the
backstory in the sequels ("Your uncle died afer reading this very book,
master...").

Done and done. I recommend to you Joe Queenan on being Mickey Rourke
for a day, in If You're Talking to Me Your Career Must be in Trouble.
Queenan is an asshole (sic) (who looks a bit like Skip Press, come to
think of it, so there you are) but Rourke is a bigger asshole, so
according to the rules it's okay for Q to take the P out of R.
