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.'

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.

Glad you got home safely! I'm back at work today, but it's much less awful now that I know I won't be here long!

You know, I sooo want to be back there.  Can we just hit rewind and do it all again?  Two thefts at work in as many days -- I'm missing the Smarchers with all their witty, entertaining, illuminating conversation!

Thanks to all for making it such a wonderful time, and I hope to see you and more Smarchers next year.

Can we do that??? The rewind thingy???

*bounces*

I got home safely and very very tired.... and bf has informed me that I talked to him in english in my sleep, so I'm still half there at least....

*sighs and sips her Calgarian tea*

But it was much fun and it should have lasted much longer....

*is home too*

I was so tired that I fell into bed at 9PM and didn't get up until noon. And I had to kick myself out of bed or I would be in it still.

What is it with smarchmoots and giraffes?

I seriously do not know what it is with smarchmoots and giraffs.... But if during the coming Castlefest I see but one giraff, I shall fall on my face from surprisement...

Oh, how pretty!!!! I love them all.

The one in the Siding Cafe, everyone's looking at me like I'm picking something gross from my food. I can't imagine what I was saying!

Right... true.... and if we see them, we shall make a smarch picture with them on it... *nods sagely*

Oh but I will fall over if I see a giraff.... it would be almost worth getting one of my silly friends to dress up as one...

One day I'm going to find out what eggs benedict are. They were mentioned so often in Vienna but I'm still mystified.

*lol* Thanks! Even if it spoils the fun a bit to know it now. I like mysteries.

Those eggs look rather like a dinner though, than like breakfast. Far too heavy for my tast, I think. (and too non-vegetarian, of course ^^)

Many (most?) places will also have Eggs Florentine (at least from amongst those who serve this in the first place; e.g. over in Australia and the USA), which replaces the bacon with spinach. Half my friends seem to be vegetarian, and this is often their dish of choice when we go brunching.
It's not all that heavy either, really. At least, I've been known to gobble down a stack of pancakes next to the Eggs Benedict. Erm..., though I guess maybe my eating habits are atypical... *g*

<Boriss> i can't, i'm at a local maximum!

Not to mention the fact that your long legs probably burn a lot more than our shorter ones!
