But you'd think after Arctis Tor that Charity would call Harry "Harry" and not "Mr. Dresden", yes?

Definatly a bit more light-hearted than the usual openings of the Dresden Files...but I have to say, hilarious

Oh yeah. Though the real question is why would Mab want her future Kight killed?

maybe Lea got out and wrestled for control?   Or maybe the weird freaky crazy knife finally got to Mab

Thank Fred, as well!  It was a team effort. 

And there's some other guy who might have also gotten involved at some point... Jack or James or some such...

Fred, I love you too.  But...in sort of a platonic way...otherwise it'd be weird.

I don't love Jim.  I worship him as I do the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  Ramen.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.  Snowballs. 

Boy, Harry's training must have been abusive in the extreme.  I wonder how much of his blow-stuff-upness is nature vs nurture.

Poor Harry.  He tries for the cool, Zen mage thing, and ends up with snow down his neck.

Let's hear it for new and interesting uses of household tools.

Why do I feel oddly like Amy Winehouse on Youtube?

Actually I was thinking Wyldfae.  I mean he did piss off the Erlking royally.  Heorot Spoiler Warning! From that short story we know that the Erlking and all the Wyldfae want Harry's head on a silver platter.

Flaming monkey poo is hilarious but not so much lighthearted.  Though whenever I read that bit or think about it I get Cosmo's song in my head, "I love the species, that throws its own feces."
