Grady looked at the Fishlad. The Fishlad looked at his girlfriend. His girlfriend brandished a large knife. The Fishlad looked at Grady. "OK, the buffalo eel then. Is it Japanese?"

The Fishwife swiped her knife across a wet stone. "T'was crafted by Hattori Hanzo." Grady gulped. "I m-meant the eel..." He tried to sneak by the Fishlad, but slipped on a Turbot.

later, I was wrapping the Pole in wax paper and packing him in ice. It's the only way to prevent spoiling. It's true. There he was, his gray mustache, his comb-over. He looked so

Ambika, thanks for "A Surfeit of Lampreys"! That sounds like the kind of fake book title I like to throw into a story, but in this case, I googled it and saw that it's a real book!

In other words: yeah, GDX works.
