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.

Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

People, the cupboard is bare.

So come on in, but bring a contribution.

Because who knows what the QM would be like without lots of food and drink . . .

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Good job, Wiked!  I thought that the QM could never be foodless!

Tree, if that's the case, sign my sister up.  She would inject it if she could.

(Wiked, I wrote something funny to you in the other room ...)

Hiya, Tree :)

By "pepper," are you meaning chiles? ie, the hot stuff? If so, you really oughtta check out the ChileHeads mailing list. It's full of wonderful knuckle-dragging chile-eatin folk :) (I mostly lurk there. They're a fun crowd with lots of good info both on growing & eating chiles. Woo!)

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

No, Wiked, there's also an 'understocked larder' thread.  Communication breakdown, I think. 

Y'see, it's 3am over here, Tree and I are tired!

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Great.  I'm really hungry this morning, and all I find are larders that are either understocked or totally unstocked!

I'm going to stay here for a while, at least until the understocked condition gets worse!

*rummages around for something to make some pankcakes with..*

Hmm.. here's some corn meal, and I think these are edible...(taste taste) whoops!  no, they aren't...

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Okay guys. I've got to go and clean up my house and then go for the (dreaded) vist with my mother. I'll be back later, maybe even for a bit before I have to leave.

Here's some tea for the larder.
*hands them some tea*

have a good time!
