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.

Give a man fish and he'll eat for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

No trains today, no fish either, got most of my own teeth, and a purdy necklace made from all those others...

...didn't stop the voices though.

Re: DOGBLOG: Last of the Doghicans

and that gives us a pointless reason to quote Led Zepplin, and by extension Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe....

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break,
When the levee breaks Ill have no place to stay.

Re: DOGBLOG: Last of the Doghicans

Levee, it broke a long time ago.  I got in eventually, though now I wish I wasn't here, because I can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from rain...

Re: DOGBLOG: Last of the Doghicans

I guess you broke most of the storm for us Stuart, cause while it's been raining a bit, it's not been as bad as I'd feared.

Go right ahead.  It won't change the fact that we have more fun with our rubbers.
