Nothing to see here. Move along.

*Stands firmly in place*

Quote:

Today I struggled through the longest and most diffuclt chapter - for which I resorted to footnotes. Still, now I've done much of the heavy lifting.

Hey for what it's worth I clicked on some of the hyperlinks. So thanks!

Quote:

Indeed. What a splendid epitaph.

I agree!

Quote:

Did I say that?

Is it not implied?

Quote:

Chapter eight features nine very different characters arguing with each other. And another half dozen waiting downstairs.

Hmm...nine characters eh? A fellowship of sorts? Will they have to journey to the Dead Galaxy to destroy the ring of power to save the Parodyverse?

Quote:

It took quite a bit od digging to remind myself what had originally turned the Wasteland into the Wasteland. Turns out it actually happened halfway through the Premiere Sage. Rhiannon was able to point me in the right direction.

Wow, I would have thought earlier than that myself. Good thing you have Rhiannon on hand.

Quote:

She had not yet deigned to post any replies, but I know she is aware of the contents up to the end of chapter two because I read them to her over Skype!

She's a lucky girl. You should record it next time - imagine listening to UTT as read by the Hooded Hood! That would be cool.

Quote:

I did rewrite a line today because I thought "No, if I include that clue, Rhiannon and probably some other posters will actually get it straight off!" Because of course, this is a whodunnit. The responsible party is in the Who's Who of the Parodyverse.

It's the Psychostave isn't it?

And part six:

What a crap story!

Sorry - couldn't resist. $\:\)$

Always a pleasure to see Sir Mumphrey again - even though the circumstances were rather gross. Asil handled it very well I thought.

I can't believe you got a Forest Week reference in there. Too funny.

Zania Chhabra is interesting, though I'm not sure I'm across what her powers/Cosmic Office is all about. I hope she doesn't suffer ruthlessly in your attempt to cull excess female characters.

- I love it when a plan falls apart. At least one inspired by Kafka. · Visionary · Thu Dec 08, 2016 at 11:31:26 pm EST
  - My plans are usually more O Henry. · HH · Fri Dec 09, 2016 at 12:48:21 pm EST

        Who brings a shovel to a gun fight? · HH · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 03:30:30 am EST
        
        Off the top of my head? · Visionary · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 08:13:00 pm EST
        
        Better than on the top of your head. · HH · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 10:42:09 pm EST
        
        True enough · Visionary · Mon Dec 12, 2016 at 08:56:33 pm EST
        
        The truth hurts. Especially on the top of the cranium. · HH · Tue Dec 13, 2016 at 03:50:54 am EST
        
        Hey, I've been around Lisa enough to know that it hurts everywhere. · Visionary · Tue Dec 13, 2016 at 10:13:43 pm EST
        
        Point to where on the Pooty doll she hurt you. · HH · Tue Dec 13, 2016 at 11:30:58 pm EST
        
        Mostly in my pride and psyche. · Visionary · Wed Dec 14, 2016 at 08:46:19 pm EST
        
        I'm not sure where those are on the stuffed bear. · HH · Thu Dec 15, 2016 at 05:58:22 am EST

        Very interesting · Al B. Harper · Wed Dec 14, 2016 at 07:34:28 am EST
        
        Well researched. · HH · Wed Dec 14, 2016 at 10:40:36 am EST

        Usually you bring a spoon. For the stirring. · HH · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 03:34:33 am EST
- I'm surprised she didn't try turning it off & on again before calling tech support. That seems to work most of the time :) (no text) · L! · Thu Dec 08, 2016 at 01:58:59 pm EST
  - The first thing that Tech Support will tell you is that almost nobody does that before calling them. (no text) · HH · Thu Dec 08, 2016 at 02:43:15 pm EST

- The real question is...did the roaches survive? · Anime Jason · Thu Dec 08, 2016 at 01:38:29 pm EST
  - They usually do. · HH · Thu Dec 08, 2016 at 02:51:08 pm EST
    - I guess they'll be the sole residents of what's left of the building, then. · Anime Jason · Thu Dec 08, 2016 at 04:25:26 pm EST
      - Well, they are supposed to surive the nuclear holocaust (along with the telesales people) · HH · Fri Dec 09, 2016 at 12:43:53 pm EST
        
        Were they selling radiation insurance? · Anime Jason · Sat Dec 10, 2016 at 10:29:07 am EST
        
        With certain small-print exclusions, obviously. · HH · Sat Dec 10, 2016 at 02:08:54 pm EST
        
        Of course, it would be hard to collect when the company is nothing but ash. · Anime Jason · Sat Dec 10, 2016 at 03:22:59 pm EST
        
        A mere techncality. · HH · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 03:26:03 am EST
        
        I'm sure they have an equally worthless extended warranty for that. · Anime Jason · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 11:26:05 am EST
        
        For an additional fee. · HH · Sun Dec 11, 2016 at 10:04:59 pm EST
        
        Might be more than the policy itself! · Anime Jason · Mon Dec 12, 2016 at 11:56:39 am EST
        
        Insurance is just gambling with tragedies · HH · Mon Dec 12, 2016 at 06:46:20 pm EST
        
        Not much gambling left with the world destroyed. · Anime Jason · Mon Dec 12, 2016 at 08:30:36 pm EST
        
        Want to bet? · HH · Tue Dec 13, 2016 at 03:21:21 am EST
        
        Not if the planet is destroyed. · Anime Jason · Tue Dec 13, 2016 at 10:43:36 am EST
        
        All life is a lottery. · HH · Tue Dec 13, 2016 at 07:13:42 pm EST
        
        That explains all the losses. · Anime Jason · Wed Dec 14, 2016 at 12:00:01 am EST
        
        And the occasional big win. · HH · Wed Dec 14, 2016 at 02:43:14 am EST
        
        Still waiting for mine... · Anime Jason · Wed Dec 14, 2016 at 10:19:05 am EST
