The Grab Bag of the Quote Goblin
“Hide and seeking, well, ehem. *settles into nostalgic gibbering mode*
This involves all of the following:
*fixes glasses*
*blinks several times, frowns*
*leans back and reclines*
*crosses arms*
*wags a finger, opens mouth, closes mouth, holds chin thoughtfully*
*begins again: “In my day...(insert story).”*”- Tom
“A very creative game of hide and seek. I was always horrible at hiding, I'd pick a really good spot and then giggle at my own cleverness.”
- Jeremiah
“Baldersnatch!”
- Jeremiah
“Baldersnatch, a mixture of bandersnatch and balderdash?”
- Tom
“Covering the entire universe, the infinite mass of resonating particles that is Tom booms in a hollow, uncaring, godless voice: “Sod.” Those same cosmic particles assemble to form stars, over many millions of years, that form a constellation that looks like ';)'.”
- Tom
“Only problems are that it's a bird and that it, again, involves gnomes.”
- Tom
“Blasted, a bird! Still, we've done some mammals so we can go back to our bird-fetish (ornithphilia). I was really trying to ponder some insects, but heh. Amphibians are tricky (only got what, 3 of them?), and fish are well... fish. Then you have assorted pseudopods and octopi and such.”
- Jer
“Yah, I wasn't sure if it would work for Lucian or not, but I really like the idea of a future project set up to 'Epicca Hop'. As you said, trying to fit the idea around Lucian would probably just prohibit your freedom of having Lucian go to the coffee shop twice a day.”
- Jer
“Lit, Fauna Flora. 1. Flowers and trees, that, upon seeing what nice lives animals get (when was the last time you saw a house built out of cows, or a rabbit tangled in a maidens hair?), decide to start looking like fauna. So you end up with flowers that look like lions, and vines that look like snakes. And of course sponges that look like sponges.”
- Jer
“Florafauna(2.n.): Hedges trimmed into interesting shapes. (See 1.)”
- Tom
“*makes a note to be bloody minded and purposefully not write up anything that begins with U, V, W, X, or Z* ;)”
- Tom
“Hehe. Xenoletteraphobia!1 *scratches off another letter*
1 Being afraid of the 'other' letters.”- Jer, on the absence of articles starting with certian letters
“*giggles madly* You'll know in about forty five minutes, if I can avoid distractions1.
1 Can a pig avoid getting utterly filthy? Can a cat avoid pouncing a ball of string? Sure, there's a chance, it might be a pig allergic to filth or a blind cat, but in short: not likely.”- Tom
“By the way, by the by, by way, the way, bye?”
- Jeremiah, jibbering
“'What lies beyond the Cracked Plateaus?'
'The Heathen Jungles.'
'Beyond that?'
'The Cookoo people of Bonglo.'
'Beyond that?'
'The Ocean of Beyond.'
'Haha, got you!'
'No, it's a bloody pond, the People of Big-Big just like naming things like that.'
'Okay, beyond that!'
'Stars.'
'Haha!'
'No, those are a type of tree.'
'A tree?'
'Yah, the Sparklogs have festivals where they put stars on all their trees.'
'Fine, and what's beyond that? Walking sharks? Eternal falls that fall two
feet?'
'No, complete blackness.'
'Haha! You admit to infinity!'
'No, there's just a cave, we're still trying to figure out what the natives
think about everything in between'.”- Infinity, Jeremiah
“Not real articles, as such, which I write for the universe at large.”
- Tom
“I can just imagine the Universe, tucking up its milkyway mustache, and having a good read of Philsopher's Stone.”
- Jer
“And here I thought you were off to the beach, and managed to 'accidently' not happen to end up with the productivity cow packed between your socks.”
- Jer
“Not gone until tomorrow morning, buggrit. And, bah, I do say. I'm definitely taking the cow to the beach, but here, he's packed in the bag with my ink well and my notebook. I wouldn't put him by my socks, he might sneeze, and mess them all up.”
- Tom
“I'm naming it prose/lucian, because I could so see myself freaking out in the future if we begin referring to this project as 'lol'.”
- Tom
“Could we temporarily remove the Cracked Plateaus from /regions? If we do that, we're technically done1.
1 Commenting out the bits that aren't done, zum. Like programming.”- Tom
“I'm running out of non-furry, nasty jungle creatures to have my fae beat up on.”
- Jer, on the making of the Yungle.
“1 This moment uses a mix of real world and Pithian terms to clarify for you, Tom, only. A real article of course would not mention arabs, karate, or cell phones. Um, even though I don't mention cell phones. But now I have, so they go in the list. Paradox at work.”
- Jer
“Open, mmm. You're right. We sort of do need to smash the metaphorical bottle of wine over the ship somehow.”
- Tom
“But they could just be young crocodiles, or perhaps a crocodile like lizard, maybe? Bog things. Make them really ugly, in a cute lizardy way. I guess a crocodile pygmized might be cute, since instead of getting squished in height their getting squished in length. Erm, perhaps a different term then pygmye? A bylateral bygmye crocodile?”
- Jer
“Need to add bits to the Tangent and the Prodcow indexi that says “Tom insists that these aren't real articles but Jer managed to convince him to put them up anyway. They are by no means complete, and may not even make sense... but they give a good look at how baby articles look before they go through the magical process that makes them actual, real, adult articles.””
- Tom
“If you wants, sure. I have nothing to hide. *hides*”
- Jer
