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.

Space pirates trump your robots and run away with the spoon.


Someday will find you.

Re: DOGBLOG: Last of the Doghicans

Yes. But what the space robots failed to realise is that the spoon, yes that's right, the humble spoon is the robots greatest weapon. And upon landing at the space pirates base the spoon shall transform into the ultimate weapon of pirate destruction and destroy the space pirates once and for all!

While the cat fiddled.

And the cow jumped.

And the spoon, transformed or not, eyed the plate with smoldering look.

And they were married the next of June.


Someday will find you.

Wow. I thought the jack was for lifting the car and the wheel brace was for changing the wheel and the tyre iron was for changing the tyre. :P

Fake bread is no substitute for Tim Tams. Heck, even real bread isn't a substitute. Or so I gather.
