[color=#000000:post_uid0]I am, right now, at this very moment, looking at a copy of Terry Pratchett's new book, [i:post_uid0]The Wee Free Men[/i:post_uid0], which is sitting in my hand as I type this (which is not easy I can tell you).

Heheheh. I can only picture the expression on your faces.[/color:post_uid0]

Zeke 05-14-2003 09:20 PM

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That depends on how good you are at picturing utter indifference. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Damn you. Damn you, you fortunate Pommy...uhhh...

Yeah, well I've been on the sailing ship that played the holographic Enterprise on which Worf gets his promotion in Generations. I applied to crew on it, too.[/color:post_uid0]

Yes, you should, but no, they're not. That's Pythonian (don't ask why. Pythonian doesn't [i:post_uid0]have[/i:post_uid0] to make sense). Evidently, you have much to learn. Ignorant boor.[/color:post_uid0]

PointyHairedJedi 05-15-2003 03:16 PM

[color=#000000:post_uid0]My verdict at five chapters in? It's another Pratchett masterpeice. It is very very funny indeed. My favorite joke so far is the fact that the swords of the Nac Mac Feegles (the Wee Free Men of the title) glow blue in the presence of laywers.[/color:post_uid0]

Of course we love you. This board would instantly fall apart without you, Sax, and Zeke. ;)

By the way, Celeste, would you mind stepping over to the 5MSG forum? PHJ could use some calming down.[/color:post_uid0]

Oh sure, I only have seven web projects, three comics, and high school completion to look after in my spare time. I'll get right on it. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

PointyHairedJedi 05-16-2003 08:55 PM

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I've finished it, and it's a very good ending indeed. We even get Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax making cameos. Unfortunatly there weren't any reditions of 'The Hedgehog Song' or 'A Wizard's Staff Has A Knob On The End' (yes, you heard me), though I suppose it [i:post_uid0]is[/i:post_uid0] supposed to be a children's book...[/color:post_uid0]

Carp, I'm supposed to be making a kata for my black belt test tomorrow...ah well. I revel in deadlines.[/color:post_uid0]

Saxamaphone 05-16-2003 10:59 PM

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You'll be fine - just make up a pattern, do it in at least thre different directions, through in a flying kick or two and put it to some music.

Oh, I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do by the way.

And congrads CG :D I know what it takes my man, and I'm sure proud of you :)[/color:post_uid0]

You do karate, CG?[/color:post_uid0]

I want a lightsabre. Or failing that, a sword. And sword training. I tend to do more damage to myself than my opponent (although he had full leather armour and a helm, and I had my band uniform. I still won though, but I suspect the fight was rigged).[/color:post_uid0]

PointyHairedJedi 05-17-2003 08:37 PM

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Woo-woo! Pratchett has five of his books in the top 100 in the BBC's Big Read. [i:post_uid0]Nightwatch[/i:post_uid0] was one of them, and apparently it was also the most recently published one to be voted for.[/color:post_uid0]
