Gita, I know this isn’t going to help pay your salary or keep a roof over your head, but even though your dick of a ‘boss’ might not know your name, we do - and there’s more of us than there is of him. In fact I don’t have a clue what his name is, and I forget the generic name of his generic company on the regular,…

Not sure exactly how to take your question and since you’re not greyed at this time I’ll address it in good faith.

Can I suggest something that might also appeal, but isn’t by Jeff?

Nova Swing’s representation of the KT is more “zoney” but I much preferred Light as a novel.

It does seem to be a common SF device. The most recent example I’ve encountered was the Kefahuchi Tract in “Light” (MJ Harrison).

The Last of the Mohicans is an all time favorite film for me. Wes Studi is phenomenal in that role. I liked the anecdote about how he got cast in Heat.

So you better hurry and don’t be late!

If I’m being honest, it’s Grease or 9 to 5. (My father, through a combination of ridicule and force, very kindly prevented me from making that latter album the first record I ever bought.) But the albums that really shaped my musical tastes were soundtrack albums too, Repo Man and The Return of the Living Dead.

Soooo....6 months on and was that little bit of protomolecule in the Roci not been discovered yet?

Oh, dear gods...

Butter-poached langoustines. A must-have, second-day delicacy to survive trips home (read as: to survive multiple days of contact with in-laws). Use any standard recipe for butter-poached lobster. Sneak in a little shellfish stock (the kind that doesn’t have tomato in it) if you have any. Six langoustines are enough…

I’m still not completely clear on why they didn’t just license Shadowrun.

At the Mountains of Madness will forever sting my soul.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” 

How dare you. Obviously, the Skor blizzard is the CEO of blizzards.

For want of a connector the air line was lost.
For want of an air line the wastegate was lost.
For want of a wastegate the turbo was lost.
For want of a turbo the power was lost.
For want of power a lap was lost.
For want of a lap the race was lost.
And all for the want of a turbo line connector.
