"Lucifer" is the Victorian name for a match, so "Lucifer Box" as in "Match Box". Yeah, I know, a bit crap.
It is also the name of the hero in this book, that I read and throughly enjoyed just before creating my ezBoard account. Yeah, I know, even more crap.

That's the fella. Cracking good read. Here's the blurb...Originally posted by WageSlave
Edwardian London. It is a world that seems familiar to us: Hansom cabs rattling through fog-choked streets, gin-swilling aesthetes rubbing shoulders with movers and shakers of British Imperial grandeur. And beneath the confident facade, naturally, an underworld of sinister Tongs, crazed anarchists, murder, and seething vice. So much for the familiar picture of comforting Victoriana. But this is the world of Lucifer Box and nothing is quite as it first appears. Lucifer Box is the most fashionable portrait painter of his day: trading bon mots with the best of them and ruthlessly exploiting his talent and dandified beauty to enter every level of this intriguing society. From his elegant townhouse at Number 9 Downing Street (well, someone has to live there...) to his vast studio in Chelsea, from the snow-choked streets of Tsarist St petersburg to the sun-bleached hotels of Mentone, life is one long, dazzling party. Of course, leading a double life is terribly fashionable and Lucifer Box is not to be outdone. For what Box's fashionable circle would never believe is that their witty, cheerfully bisexual friend is also a secret agent...Comment

My main issue with the new format is that Avatrars make it a lot less work friendly. The old schema was kind of subtle.....'till you hit on a thread with embedded pictures, now it's REALLY obvious what you're doing....
I'm going to be on here less in work time (alll say Ahhh).

Oh yeah, they did such a good job. It's exactly the same as the old one.
I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment
