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: Mooey's Bouncy Castle

so when i got up this morning, the degu cage was in a bit of disarray, and i got curious/suspicious.  i heard an inordinate amount of chirping and decided to investigate, finding that my suspicions were correct:  we have babies!!!

wwhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

near as i can tell, there are at least eight, if not nine.  i can't wait to play with them!

so, i'm putting the word out now.  anyone in or near southern NY who wants a pair of degus, they'll be ripe in six weeks :)

Re: Mooey's Bouncy Castle

Hmm, you think maybe now that they've had a litter, you ought to get 'em fixed?

Re: Mooey's Bouncy Castle

On second thought I'd better not make the road trip, because if I saw them I don't know if I could resist getting some...
