Liked the spamfic, except for one thing.

Quoting Falc <ldebuyst@brutele.be>:
"Oh but we have. You see, my name is Taida Osoi, heir to the Nemui 
School of Martial Arts Lazyness!"

Ranma and Akane both fell to the ground.

Having the characters react this way to your punchline strikes me as rather 
cliched. Not only has it been done to death in other fics, it feels as though 
you're saying to the readers, "I just made a joke; you should laugh now." If 
you want to underscore the joke, that's fine, but I'm sure you can find a way 
to do it that's not such a cliche.

This one problem aside, I enjoyed it.
