Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain
by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the
vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,
stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding
vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only
verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and
veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this
vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good
honor to meet you, and you may call me V. - V

quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling
you seem to say so." (II, ii, 115-117)
