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 a 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

van-guarding 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.
