...the following scenelet from a possible Read or Die Step came to me, and I just had to share it.
----------
Yomiko snapped up her hand, and a half-dozen small sheets of paper materialized in her grip, stiff as steel and razor-sharp. Back-to-back with her, Doug made almost the same gesture; spikes of a milky, translucent material popped out between the fingers of his right hand. He glanced over at Yomiko and shared a sly grin with her, then looked back at the foe."You got a choice, buddy," he said in a low, dangerous tone. "You want paper..." He gestured at Yomiko, then brandished the sharp slivers in his own hand. "...Or plastic?"Yomiko spared a portion of her concentration to roll her eyes athim.----------
No, I don't have a particular song in mind. Yet.-- Bob
---------
The one-L Hel has a face.
The two-L Hell, it's a place.
But I will bet a silver bell
There isn't any three-L Helll.
-- with apologies to Ogden Nash

---------
Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
