- because you end up with these losers running around talking how they were
- Egyptian Princesses and Knights of the Table Round with no evidence what-
- soever besides the fact that it sounds good and makes their tawdry selves
- appear to be slightly more interesting than the barely sapient helminths
- that they actually are. it is esthetically displeasing, and it tends to
- give the casual observer the idea that magick generally is a method of
- mental masturbation indulged in by twits.
