**********

One of these days as a public service I'm going to sit down and 
compile a Mulder Dictionary to help immerse the uninitiated in 
All Things Mulder.

It's going to be a very large dictionary full of all those arcane 
and downright bizarre terms Mulder regularly rattles off to 
explain his current theory on a case. 

With pictures.  And maybe a few charts.

At times I'm almost positive he's making some of them up just to 
watch my reaction as if I'm his own personal 'Let's See How Many 
Eye Rolls We'll Get Out Of Scully With This One' entertainment 
center.

At other times...well, at other times I feel the same way but the 
urge to kick his ass isn't as strong.

Today he was asking for it.  The Whammy.  Honestly. I'm sure 
Skinner would love to read that in our report.  

Then again, I'm also equally sure Mulder would love to read that 
in our report.  Like I said, the man is asking for it.

His theory here is that Modell has the ability to make people do 
things, to mentally push them to do his will. Even to the point 
of death. 

Usually to the point of death.

What annoys me is that while I wouldn't use the term 'The Whammy' 
to describe the process, I'm starting to believe him. 

OK, it doesn't just annoy me, it really annoys me.  

Either these few years as Mulder's partner have driven me insane 
or this time he's actually right. 

I'm not sure which thought is more frightening.
