	Another Pratchett character who talks as if she could have an animated and mutually coherent conversation with Ron is Mrs. [[Tachyon]], the mysterious time-travelling bag lady in the [[Johnny Maxwell]] series of books. In [[Book:Johnny and the Bomb\|Johnny and the Bomb]], Mrs Tachyon displays a personal familiarity with the phrase "Millennium, Hand And Shrimp!" that will be instantly recognisable to connoisseurs of Ron-speak.

(It is of course marginally possible that she has read her way through the Discworld books.)

	The [[Assassins' Guild]] has an as yet unfulfilled contract for the inhumation of Ron. The value on his head is one groat. Ron is probably safe: a rule of Assassination is that the deed must be done up close and personally if at all possible, and preferably at the home of the inhumee. Getting up close and personal to a man who has no fixed abode would present operational difficulties, not the least of which is that Assassin finery would corrode and rot on first contact with the Smell. Even an arrow or crossbow bolt might corrode in the very air before reaching him. Besides, which self-respecting Assassin would get out of bed for two pennies? (after Guild Tax).
