Working Title: Those Two Guys Who Kill People: From YKTTW

Etrangere: now that's a write up that is Made Of Win.

L Guardinal: Now, I'm sure the answer will be obvious as soon as I get it, but how is Thaddeus Rope a Punny Name?

alliterator: Thaddeus Rope and Clive Liche. T.Rope and C.Liche. Plus, rope can be used as something to hang people, while "liche" is sometimes the spelling of lich (since it comes from the German Leiche, meaning "corpse").

L Guardinal: Oh geez. I'm embarrassed, both for whoever came up with that, and myself, for not getting it!

Sean Tucker: I take it the style is a Neverwhere reference? Rope and Liche talk exactly like Croup and Vandemar.

alliterator: I moved The Venture Brothers quote down, since it was pushing down most of the article.
