10,194. AL MULLINS

AL MULLINS
He was king of the captains and
he wanted to once, his wife was a
gravy-boat lender. The sea came 
down to greet us. We'd parked on
the side by the parlaphone number.
And, well, though I'm tired these are
the things he's said he's learned:
-
"The Ogrevy shrub is treasured 
for its hallucinogenic resin; the 
Herilor is a fat and feathery 
domesticated meat-animal; the 
Ansible is a device that instantly 
transmits messages between stars; 
and Transilience is the process of 
inter-stellar teleportation."
-
You've got to love a guy who 
knows that stuff. Yet, to look at
him, you'd never know. "The 
Kharidians are a race of small
hermaphrodites who breed only
during brief periods of sexual 
heat called Klemmer, and they
have no word for war.; and the
inhabitants of that place called
'Eleven-Soro' have no translation
for love.'
