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.

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.

You make that sound like it's a BAD thing. *wonders what Miiru's complaining about* Personally, I delight in luring people into the gutter. The more, the merrier!

Pay no attention to that watery tart lyin' in the gutter lobbing enticements at the innocent and righteous in an attempt to lead them astray.

Does that help?

Supreme silliness derives from a mandate from the dog. Miiru, is your arm clad in the purest shimmering samite?

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

This is indeed a silly thread, in fact I think it may actually come with 30% more ridiculous shenanigans than the last such thread.

And introducing Toenail Canary for the role of wing man...

Toenail Canary is a bit of a practical joker though...  He's always playing dead in enclosed areas simply to make Crotch  wonder about the air supply.

I was kinda hoping to cast Uvula Chihuahua in that role, but maybe s/he's better suited to the part of rich, eccetric client anyhow.

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

On second-thought, rich may be implicit in eccentric.  If you're poor, you're probably just "creepy" or "off".

Let's not get too caught up in the details, though.  As long as we're all picturing Uvula Chihuahua with an ivory cigarette holder and air of vague disdain, then I think we're on the same page.

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

I'm half convinced it has now jumped the shark anyway, since bandit evoked the gorgeous, un-toppable concept of "secretary of the adorable". Gosh.

Jumped the shark?  This topic has jumped the shark AND done the Director's Cut unedited twenty-two minute Fonzie dance solo.
