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.

I have decided that Frankie Big Ears is not a boring old chihuahua, but one of the fancy new hybrids, a la "labradoodles" and "buggles".  Thus, he is either a "ringo" -- the aforementioned rat-dingo cross -- or a "hackal", hamster + jackal.

(Could also be a "jamster", I suppose.)

If you call it a jamster tho, won't some folks get funny ideas about the exact purpose of the pet? is - where to jam it?
Is it the new gen version of gerbils?

*hears the ominous creaking of the overstressed message board*

Are we supposed to stand under a doorway when a message board is about to self-destruct (having reached page 26)?

Or head for the storm cellar?

You certainly can't trust Authors who moonlight as builders.  Eek!

*sees that the doorway is inhabited and heads for the storm cellar*

I think it's a twister.

Don't forget to save all the puppies!  I suppose, if you're in a hurry, more can always be made...
