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.

*grabs fusion powered water hose, launches steady stream o' water in the general direction of the water balloon trajectory*

You have defective tastebuds ;)

Re: DOGBLOG: Last of the Doghicans

Hey, any of you out in the Germanophone parts of the world know the band Deichkind?  They're great favorites of mine, based on my poor German.

They amuse me, in other words.  I have no idea if they're clever or not in their native language.

Some of the creams that claim to decrease the appearance of cellulite contain caffeine. I guess it plumps up the skin?
