[color=#000000ost_uid0]I just finished reading Night Watch. Kinda neat to see a map of Ankh Morpork and get an idea of where things are.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]You mean you don't have the Ankh Morpork street map?

I guess you have even more reason to be jealous then.[/colorost_uid0]

I haven't got the Discworlde Mappe either. I have no idea where Genua, Lancre, Hersheba or Muntab are.

Well, I don't think anyone knows where Muntab is.

"Then there's the Muntab question."
"Where's Muntab?"
"Exactly."

My local library is somewhat understocked, and all-consuming book giant Chapters-Indigo doesn't seem to have it.

They don't have Mein Kampf, either.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]The Lancre map is quite good - you get to see the exact location the the Place Where The Sun Doesn't Shine (and of course the Rock And A Hard Place).[/colorost_uid0]

What about Lancre town? I'm given to understand that it doesn't show up on maps of the country. It barely shows up on maps of the town.[/colorost_uid0]

The Vulcan Science Directorate has proven that UPN is illogical and needs to go take a chill pill.[/colorost_uid0]

True. After all, there are many people who go about their illogic in a highly logical manner.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Nan"]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.[/quoteost_uid0]
Speak to me not of being too busy. You can not win this challenge.

However, despite lack of free time, [iost_uid0]Monty Python and the Holy Grail[/iost_uid0] is one of my favorite movies and certainly worth what little spare time you have. The stuff they were quoting is from the opening credits... I'd explain in full so you could understand, but then it wouldn't be as funny if you ever saw it.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Make that eight web projects, three comics, high school completion and about six extra courses.

And my computer has been sick with a nervous breakdown for the past three days.

What is it about being a fiver overlord that inevitably involves no time at all being left over for fiverdom?

Note: there should be a 5MV Glossary of Terms with special nouns and things.

Yeah, the Wal-Mart air destroys your brain.[/colorost_uid0]
