Jay Lake's Teddy Bear Gun

A week ago, Jay Lake asked commentors on his LiveJournal to write the first sentence of a possible story, using the phrase "teddy bear gun," in response to a news story about an actual teddy bear gun -- which naturally came from Japan.

He got a lot of responses (including one from me, below), and now is running a poll to decide which one is best. It would be rude to urge you to go vote for me, but go vote for something; there are a lot of good choices there.

There comes a time in every PLUSHIE agent's life when he's tempted -- sorely tempted -- to eat his teddy bear gun. But Heironymous Ermintrude never thought it would happen to his partner at noon in the middle of the Salt Lake City Denny's.

In case you're interested, PLUSHIE is the Policing League Under Secret Highest Injunction Extraordinary.
