[LMB] Crossovers (with Herself's work) That Should Not Be...

[Mark A. Mandel]

Miles? "When I get back to Barrayar, I'll make a fortune peddling this stuff to the military!" sounds more like Mark.

Mark's Jingle.
Dendarii maple mead has been called "the most disgusting, gut-destroying, 
guerilla attack-beverage ever brewed by man". 
But once Mark Vorkosigan starts thinking about what he can do with it, 
we might get a distillery and an ad campaign such as this. 
(See Lois McMaster Bujold's 
A Civil Campaign, Epilogue.)

I like maple sugar brandy

Brewed from maple sugar mead

Right up in my own Dendarii hills --

You know it's just what you need.


Smooth as maple sugar candy,

Hard as sugar maple wood!

    On my word as Vorkosigan,

    Dendarii maple brandy

Will knock you for a loop 

        and do you... good!







[In the Epilogue we see MPVK Enterprises' first product: 
maple ambrosia, Ma Kosti's miraculous blend of bug butter with maple
mead from the meadery Miles runs to channel income to the hillfolk (p. 521). 
I imagine that Mark will soon figure out a way to make more money by 
converting more mead into yet another product that will be more popular than 
maple mead itself, which Ivan calls "the most disgusting, gut-destroying, 
guerilla attack-beverage ever brewed by man" (p. 519) 
and Miles concedes is an acquired taste... 
and, not incidentally, cementing family support for his business 
by making it a bigger customer of Miles's pet project.]

Or Miles visits the _Girl Genius_ universe instead of travelling to Beta 
Colony...

"No, Miss Heterodyne, that is not _your_ Jaeger.  That is _my_ Jaeger.  I 
reverse-engineered the Jaegerbrau, and left it out, and Sergeant Bothari 
drank it.  I have to say I like the results!  When I get back to Barrayar, 
I'll make a fortune peddling this stuff to the military!"

Maybe I should look into sleep aids.
