• Commented on Omicron
  Long-time lurker, occasional commenter, totally weird question: you’re one of the few commenters who’s mentioned they live in the GTA. Extending this to you or any other commenter in the area who’s interested, anybody likely to be near Bakka-Phoenix in...
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Labyrinth Index
  Quite enjoyed Labyrinth Index. 'Twas nice to see some areas close to where I live being featured. Only question is: what are the Cold Ones mentioned by the Black Pharaoh? My guess is a race of infovores a la the...
• Commented on The Inevitable Brexit Thread (1)
  Not bloody soon enough....
• Commented on Someone please cancel 2019 already?
  Basque?...
• Commented on The Labyrinth Index: sneak preview!
  I actually emailed OGH about something similar a while back (BLUE HADES plan for global warming). The response was "so long and thanks for all the fish." There's probably something more detailed, especially given what happened with the Alfar, but...
• Commented on Dread of Heinleinism
  Speaking as "one of the kids these days" (who lives in a rural area to boot), I can confirm the statement that very few kids are running around with knives. In elementary school, the teachers and EAs would have spewed...
• Commented on Test Case
  Speaking as a teenage boy, preach it. There was one incident a year or two ago with a speaker on the topic of consent, both in general and at parties with a focus on the effects of alcohol on one's...
• Commented on Test Case
  10:15's pushing it. Regardless, speaking as a current Ontario high school student, first period math classes should be illegal....
• Commented on Bread and Circuses (circumlunar version)
  Sorry, Pence won't evangelize the aliens. According to Ken Ham, all the xeno bastards (if they existed, which they don't) are automatically damned to hell, because while Adam's sin corrupted the whole universe, Jesus only saved us. Manifest Destiny on...
• Commented on Radio silence
  Charlie, when are the Chekov's Guns that are the St.Hilda's group and Angleton's memex going to be fired?...
• Commented on Catching Up
  Sorry. I've watched the movies too much, I can't disassociate the two. I know Tolkien based the Shire on rural England before industrialization. Also, for the record, living next to Bag End would be amazing. On a side note, why...
• Commented on Catching Up
  I realize this is a difficult issue, but: can someone please give me a concise summary of Northern Ireland as it stands now (specifically the attitudes of Sinn Fein and the DUP)? I understand that the DUP is basically if...
• Commented on Catching Up
  On the subject of lifeboats, my suggestion is New Zealand. Liberal, democratic, not going to get nuked, speaks English, less mosquitoes (I think)... Plus, if you're a LOTR fan, it's literally the Shire....
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Nightmare Stacks
  Well, I vaguely remember Charlie replying to a comment to the extent of "if you see Angleton again in human form, be very afraid". Though I suppose it could be Lecter......
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Nightmare Stacks
  Is it Angleton?...
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Nightmare Stacks
  Ok. So my question is this: what happened to the other tools in the Alfar arsenal? There are mentions of zombie grenadiers/suicide bombers with mana bombs, basilisk variants that devoured magical constructs like wards, and siege golems with some form...
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Nightmare Stacks
  5 sounds disturbingly plausible. I believe Charlie has made comments in the past that Book 9 will be Ocean's Eleven meets Cthulhu's America, so I certainly wouldn't rule it out. I just worry about what it would take to get...
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Nightmare Stacks
  Oh god. It's the bloody Cthonians isn't it....
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Nightmare Stacks
  I can't speak as to your other points, but I distinctly remember Cassie saying that Alex would have been considered extremely powerful among her kind. Also, this is in response to the comment you were replying to, but I didn't...
• Commented on Laundry summer madness sale!
  When may we have a Nightmare Stacks spoiler thread? I've had a few questions rattling about....
• Commented on 2117 revisited
  Crap. Used wrong way of snarking. What I meant to say was "is teenager. Looks around guiltily..." Also can the mods please delete my previous blank comment? Thank you...

• Commented on 2117 revisited
  Can you please point me in the direction of those papers on Jurassic dung ecosystems? It sounds genuinely interesting....
• Commented on 2117 revisited
  I can't believe no one has made this joke yet: "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra." "Shaka, when the walls fell."...
• Commented on Some notes on the worst-case scenario
  Maybe I'm just naive and overly optimistic, but I don't think even the majority of the US government is that evil. I could see Bannon going ahead with it. Pence might. Trump is probably too dementia-ridden to be considered compos...
• Commented on And the Rabid Nazi Raccoons shall inherit the Earth
  Totally random, but what's the favorite book of MRA's? I Have No Life And I Must Scream....
• Commented on Busy busy busy
  Will we see a non-Bob Angleton back before the end of the series?...
• Commented on Busy busy busy
  Cool! I don't suppose that there's a little cargo cult of wall-builders trying to make their orange messiah return to them?...
• Commented on Busy busy busy
  Yes! Sorry for any damages incurred to your keyboard. Is The Labyrinth Index the one that was going to be Heart of Darkness meets Cthulhu's America? Because that still works and I'd love to read it....
