"Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to a new position."
Kudos to doyle and npecom. Now to figure out what rewards to give them ....

Jet-Poop I prefer to think of Evil Catullus not as black or beige or African-American, but as a GIANT HOWLING MONSTER CREATURE WEARING A VERY SCARY HAT AND SHORT PANTS
@ grundoon licks Evil Catullus.
@ grundoon Ya know, because of the multiple threads, that just came out WAAAY wrong.
$ Excalibre I think of Evil Catullus as a map with a stilletto stuck through it.
Evil Catullus is currently wearing long pants, thank you very much. But they ARE zip offs.
Jet-Poop Grundie is also a GIANT HOWLING MONSTER CREATURE WEARING A VERY SCARY HAT AND SHORT PANTS, but her scary hat is pink and has a veil.
Jet-Poop FOR MODESTY.






wordnerd No, I think a grundoon crush is a good thing. Like being eaten alive by the cutest kittens ever.
wordnerd Also, p.s., btw, fwiw, I made bargains with republicans for my power. So it's fleeting, but utterly empty tasting... Wait...
Evil Catullus Bah, only Karl Rove counts as an eldritch being too horrible for the human mind to comprehend. You made your deal with Scooter Libby.
grundoon While yer making a list, LE, add a /crush noder.
