Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: DOGBLOG: Underwater Man vs. the Chihuahua of Doom

And you should see the discussion that very idea caused on another message board I read.

It pulled Shiva in, and involved speculation about the true nature of the Great Flood.

I felt very, very dirty after reading it. I love my friends.

Yup. Should have seen it coming, really. Misbehaving, deviant little wretches that we are.

Re: DOGBLOG: Underwater Man vs. the Chihuahua of Doom

Won't somebody please think of the children?!

I hope for our future's sake God puts them in spacesuits before he kicks them into orbit, otherwise there are quite a few interesting ice sculptures up there...

*watches as another kid is punted into low orbit*

Oops.

Maybe I should try day-smarching some time...

Well...at least I've learned not to smarch and eat....or drink...

*it's like swimming...*

Re: DOGBLOG: Underwater Man vs. the Chihuahua of Doom

Wait... wait...

Did he say kicking children into orbit, or did he really mean chickens?

Because, after all, he was 'pecking' at the non-specialized keyboard...

I think perhaps this is all just a huge misunderstanding.

You really should keep your topic out reach of children. *nods sagely*

Did this thing come with warning labels?

Well... at least the children will get real useful information....that they'll be able to use amongst their peers...

Feel free to try it when god punts you into orbit, however -- because that will happen to any young bystanders on this topic.
