Clearly J; you can see the Scottish origin in the anagram of "talisman" into "man alist," which refers to the fact that there's nothing on under the kilt.
And speaking of Larry Niven, I recall a series, "Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot" purporting to be by one Grendel Briarton, of precisely that description. All the "stories" took less than one page to complete, mercifully. Never did figure out who GB was, always had suspicions that it was Isaac Asimov but cound never confirm. Anybody have more information?

Give me a K, if for no other reason than it's the only verb.

Using the British term ‘fagged’ as a possible indicator, I shall opt for ‘K’ – ‘kay?

"...a bottle of fire water. I can smell something fishy here, but methinks it went skimming off the top of my head - missing any/all the available synapses... either that or I'm starting to *trust TEd too much.  C'mon... spill the beans...

It just sounds like it should be from an Indian language, so it's B or E.
Mmmm, to B or not to B…
B it is.

Actually there's no pun or anything. That's a true story about the wild rice and the flail for harvesting same.
I'll try to find someone with a scanner so I can post the picture in my AOL picture gallery.
I think I may not have made the legal picture clear; the Indians in Michigan have the right not only to the wild rice along the shores of the Great Lakes but also all of the lakes in Michigan, whether the land at the waters edge is private or public property. I seem to recall Rem's telling me that this was one of the few treaty provisions that the whites never broke. YCLIU.
