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.

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.

Doing the *Active* Dance

I've decided that we need a place to...

do the active dance!

You've obviously never heard of the Active Dance - it's for when your Smarch Subscription becomes Active.

Is that anything like the Safety Dance?

Re: Doing the *Active* Dance

Can anyone tell me how long I should wait to do the active dance????

Trying sooo hard to be patient, how long did it take everyone else to become active once they'd confirmation of payment???

Re: Doing the *Active* Dance

Your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well, they're no friends of mine! (except for Smarchers)(<-Not part of the original song)

Re: Doing the *Active* Dance

Oh yeah!  Get Funky!

*Nolan dances*

Jumps up and down, spins around!

Gets on the floor, and does some more!

Puts his hands in the air, and waves them like he just don't care!

He's crazy!  He's rythmic!  He's almost spastic!  He's active!  He's rockin'!  He's practically fantastic!

It's the active dance!

Go Nolan!  Go Nolan!  Go Nolan!

(Okay, I've been active a while, but I'm still happy about it...)

Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Re: Doing the *Active* Dance

I'm so active you can see persperation drip from me like radioactive permeation from a barrel tumbling from a dock illegally plunging *kerplunk* into a salty ocean full of living turtles and nolans.

I'm so active that you can't see me; I'm moving too fast therefore I'm transparent.

I'm so active that I'm at the top of the "Today's Active Topics" list.

Whoo!

I'm on fiiiiaaaaa!

Re: Doing the *Active* Dance

Stand hesitating at the side of the dance floor (on monday I should be active too, I just payed yesterday, so I will actually be active tomorrow or something, but I won't be here to dance then).

Re: Doing the *Active* Dance

Um, I've already done the dance, but I'm offering up this line for anyone who hasn't yet danced:

"We can act like we come from out of this world, leave the real one far behind!"

Very appropriate.

See Paragon, I'm dancing. You just didn't see me dancing yesterday, but I was, honest.
