Let me guess, Scottie - you aren't Hannibal after all. 
You are in fact J.D. Salinger writing under the guise of a
bitter, weltschmerz-eating assistant to the starship
enterprise.  My apologies, I'm sure you have a life, but I
didn't know I was speaking with Jerome himself!  Or,
should I say, Mr. Salinger - your fiction has earned you
the respect of your internet peers.  By the way, what do
them damn ducks do in the wintertime?
