A five gallon tobasco sauce enema? Webdoc did I ever put you in prison? I will gladly accept any torture Alex comes up with (thank you mam, can I have another). But, let her come up with them. No help from the cheap seats.

Well, first and more importantly, sorry Alyx. I'll hose him down after next time okay? :D
Sorry for the delays guys, wasn't online enough this weekend to read a whole chapter of Bob and Alyx. Lets break it down first:
1. Sirius honeymoon. Was that necessary? Really? The worse part is that i think was from alyx.
2. The attack at the cult's HQ. I liked a lot that Harry didn't join in, and that the gang didn't know about it 'till after it. Tonks injuries seemed a bit strange, specially the doctors change of opinion (brain damage, etc). If you're not gonna do anything later with this, why bother? And i thought we were going to here more about it after the attack.
3. Bones find out. Liked it a lot, specially her reaction. The Yeti on the other hand was completely unnecessary *glares*(i swear i can almost read llama written there). couldn't have written a Nundu or something?
4. Minerva. Even tho it was a small appearance, i liked it a lot. I like her in this story.
5. CERVUS LACESSITUS LEO. Fiting i guess.. better then the usual crap. a whole lot better in fact.
6. H. first time. sounds real enough. His reactions to hurting her was a good bonus. It almost makes up for the honeymoon scene. Almost.
7. Hermione curses. Liked them a lot, tho doesn't sound quite like what she'd do. I bit irresponsible. Liked Dudleys :D.
8. Voldie seeing the ward. :D Really nice!!

Great chapter Alyx and Bob! I loved Amelia's scene with Sirius especially, but the bit with Sirius and Cynthia's wedding night was also perfect...hehe, Harry better work on his shielding when his wedding comes around.
Thanks for sharing!

*hands alyx a rocket launcher* I love reading your opening disclaimer and ending AN's almost as much as the actual story!

i don't know why anyone would complain about the authors note. i think they're brillantly entertaining. it's hard to say whether i enjoy the story or the notes more sometimes. although sirius's singing penis takes the cake and edges out the author's note this time. maybe i should say takes the coconut. coconut seems to be the current fad. *shrug* anyway, i nearly spit my tea out when i read about that prank. i also very much enjoyed hermione's revenge on the dursley's. it was quite fitting. i do wonder if dudley will ever learn to control himself. i suppose it's about time the british government figured out what was happening. luckily, it was just amelia who realized it and very happy to see that she's willing to help. as always, a grand chapter! i've reviewed every chapter since i started reading ur writings and given high praise every single time. i do hope that's enough to keep me out of the torture chamber.

Half the time I'm not sure if I read you to for the stories (magnificent) or the ANs (hilarious). But I do know I would like to say keep up the good work and more pleeeeeeeeeaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeee.

Another great chapter, much enjoyed! Considering that H/Hr is not usually my cup of tea, seeing a story written well enough to change that for a time is quite nice. I really love the dynamic between Sirius and Cindy. They're probably my favorite overall couple, and she very much suits him. And the line about McGonagall telling Cindy about one of Sirius's past escapades- made me really laugh at the reactions. I'll be looking forward to more of this story for sure!

I must say that I have trouble figuring out which is more entertaining, the story or the A/Ns. Personally, I like this nut house, the inmates are in charge and the meds are great, what more could you ask for? It takes a twisted individual to work their minds in a manner conducive to this kind of humor, but then again it takes an equally twisted mind to enjoy said humor so keep it coming. Enjoying the ride so far, it's been an excellent character piece with just the right flow to stop things from getting monotonous, I'm impressed. Anywho, I have a coffee cup with my name on it (no, seriously, I do *cackles*) and I really do need my daily fix of my other addiction, the chapter calmed the twitching a little but the withdrawal symptoms are still there.
Kudos

P.S.
Remind me not to piss you off *shudders uncontrollably*

I don't know what Crys was smoking, but your a/n's are wonderful to read. And I want to buy stock in your adult diaper business... especially if you allow them to advertise that they are the brand recommeded by Alyx and Bob for use during fanfiction reading.
Love this story and eagerly look forward to reading more.

Alyx, Alyx, You and your toys.
{Shakes head}
I was going to offer you a new one, but it seems to me that you have too many to pick and choose from already, so in lieu of that I'll just ask a question, and you can brain Bob with it for a while.
When are you going to go back to co-writing? Bob does an excellent job, I'm sure the other reviewers all agree, but I'm beginning to miss the little artistic additions that it takes another mind to come up with... that and I think that you doing only the disclaimer may have some long term effects on Bob's mental health... A small Issue no doubt, but one that might get the police asking all kinds of uncomfortable questions. Like "why is your Husband lying unconscious in the middle of the living room" and "Did you know that there are 22 Lamma's in your Bedroom and that they are all equipped with weapons Illegal in 35 countries, six states, and three major religions." (Trust me on this one, Pointing at bob and saying 'He did it' will probably get your sentence dropped to aiding and abetting, and if you happen to mention that he's a little mad and keeps claiming their yours, you might get off with just a little community service.)
Anyways O beautiful one I hope to hear from you in the near future that I may be gladdened by your radiance, and enlightened by your finite wisdom.
(Bob, I'm so sorry man, but I can plainly see who's in charge here, and no offense, but I'd rather be on her good side when she takes over. When the cops show up, take it like a man and try not to let her see you cry... it'll only encourage her.)
All the Best.

A very nice chapter! It is starting to speed up so I'm curious how it's going to finish.
Although I'm sure that nagini/tom/voldemort wouldn't be able to do much.
What is that black dome again?
Keep writing

Great update - interesting what H/Hr did to dursleys - he is growing up, and his attitudes are showing it.
Hopefully Nagini will ignore the little voice once and trip the ward (and soon!)
Great update as always I can't wait till the next!

Branding irons? This is getting kinky. Very. I was about to offer some C4 for amusement purposes, but how about some handcuffs instead? Fur lined?
Also, while at St. Mungo's, does Harry actually call Emma 'Mom'? Because that would be...sweet but with Tonks dying, Sirius going sexy evil!lord on the poor healer's butt and everything else going on, it sort of disappears in the massive amount of plot like a three year old in Disney world.
Apart from that, your chapter length rocks, Hermione and Harry are fun to watch and.... let's face it. You rock. And you know it.
Just out of curiosity, how many times can I review without putting my continued health on the line?

Great chapter you two! This fic is really great. I hate it that Sirius has to pull the whole pure-blood Lord crap though... He may be, but still. It's heartening to know that Amelia is on Harry and Sirius's side... Sucks that Tonks got hurt though, although it is nice that she gets to help Remus out at Hogwarts... What's going to happen to Nagini once Tom gets inside Hogwarts? Great job!

Another great chapter,
Hey Alyx. improved torture technique for you,before putting Solicitor in the ground by the fire ants and coating him in honey, give him a tobasco sauce enema, about 5 gallons I'd say.

GOOD ONE! Small typos as usual, but this is one of the best chapters. Looks like this could be wrapped up in one or two more chapters? Looking forward to the rest.

Er, please pay no attention to Jeff S. Fileting me (with a rusty knife or otherwise) will prevent me from graduating to the status of "Minion of Alyx". I already tried to apply for "Minion of boB", but that waiting line is obscene.
[Crys glares at both MoA and Aaron St Vines for the betrayal.] I didn't say I disliked her A/N. Just that she doesn't have quite the same psychotic flourish that boB does.

your a such a fruitcake ^_^
Great chapter, id almost pay to see a prank like that. now if only it could have pulled off a scene like the dinner scene in Beattlejuice that would be priceless.... though doing that to the hogwarts teachers would be just as funny.

Sirius's singing penis. Oh, you two are evil, evil pranksters.
I like how you're portraying the snakes. No names and only descriptors at best, not to mention Nagini's very straigtforward thinking. Perhaps a human child or a centaur foal . . .
> learned to curb my inner stupid
*laugh* That has GOT to be a referenct to Jeco's recent story. And a great reference it is.
Oh, nasty addition with the AD / Dursley conspiracy, there. Nice touch.
> sent to Station Zebra
*blink* There's a movie title about Ice Station Zebra, isn't there?
[Crys yelps after being kicked.] Hey, what'd you do that for!? [Crys points at Wavelink99] See? I'm not the only one who . . . [Crys warily eyes the waving FPIA.] Nevermind.
> And apparently, I don't do that as well as Bob. ~Glares at Crys again~
[Crys whimpers.] Would it appease Your Greatness if I were to name a character in my new story after you? Would you prefer the adult bookstore owner, the neighbor of the brothel, or the president of the neighborhood association of . . . alternative living styles?
> ~Glares at Crys as she exits the Notes~
[Crys whimpers and hides from the new FPIA+5] Bob? Could you please keep your wife from trying to hurt me?
Please?
