OR AS I LIKE TO CALL HIM, 'NEARLY-HEADLESS ROY': People in the news get two-word descriptives attached to their names all the time, little appositives that become journalistic shorthands for the subject. Take as examples "lifestyle maven", "disgraced reporter" or "shock jock" -- you read the descriptive, and you know exactly who they're talking about.

To that end, am I wrong to hope that "mauled illusionist" catches on?
