@Atomic, you may want to fix the date in the thread title. You placed it 4 years in the future.

And we all know the world ends in thirty days!

Nah--they fixed that already.

[Jabberwonky]

Jabberwonky has thus declaimed: In San Antonio, we have Shilo's on Commerce. But it's a German deli, no cannolis. I'll have to go to Austin and check Katz's for cannoli and beer...

Head up towards New Braunfelds and scout around for German delis and bakeries. Westphalia, Zobzikville, Lott, all of those little German colonies have great beer, great meats, and great bakeries, - often all-in-one. (Went to college in Belton and College Station).

Geat excuse for a Deli explore!

(left fist on hip, right hand points to 'yonder) To the Wonkymobile!

Edit: spelling error...doh!

Actually, we won't know that until Dec. 22. They assume they fixed the problem by getting rid of the Calendar Machine...

And you know what the say about 'assume', it make's me an ass to you...wait...that's not right...

We don't know if this is the cycle where they've already fixed it -- with some of the characters traveling backward in time, this might have been published in one of the pre-repair cycles.

If so, I hope "Wapsi Squre" is also published in the final cycle (the one everone gets to remember).

This is true. We won't know for sure if this really IS the last cycle until after Dec. the 22nd has past in Wapsi-world. Paul could have one heck of a reboot to the story and it's characters coming if something was missed by the gang and the reset still happens again. What an opportunity to totally "re-imagine" the whole thing. I guess even Phix wouldn't know if another cycle reset is coming.

Seems unlikely though, since the Time Tree Forest's overall time cycle ended in this time period, which would indicate the cycles were truly over. Yet, I can't help but wonder if Paul has something for us on Dec. 22 which will make all the other breakneck shifts in story direction look like a gentle curve at walking speed.[/quote]

Are you suggesting that we all need to wear our cervical collars before opening this site after mid-December?

Based on what we've seen that Paul is capable of, I might suggest a full-body cast, and a Saturn V high-G acceleration couch for each reader

[Jabberwonky]

I've mentioned before, what if the Calendar Machine® was trying to keep something bad from happening in it's own unscrutable way? What if there something really bad gonna happen after Dec.21?

And now for something completely different. Anyone already mention this?

Monica and Jin have been at it again:

That would have been quite a ... noticable explosion to remove an island to a depth of 1400 meters. I notice that the 'image' looks a little bit like the deck view of an aircraft carrier (but way too big) - even seems to be casting a 'shadow' on the seafloor to the east.

Wow, the tensile strength of the thread on those buttons holding that blouse must be amazing!
I keep hearing Scotty on STAR TREK saying : "I kenna hold her, captain! Shes libel to Fly apart ANY SECOND!!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING N'at, yinz guys.

Probably made up of "scrith" fibers, but it may be unstable...

Only if the rim ramjets have been removed...

Side note: what ethnicity is Nudge in human form? I feel like she looks mixed Black/Caucasian but I could also be totally misjudging.

Well, in that outfit, and with that hair, she reminds me of Desiree Cousteau.

But i have no idea what ethnicity she was, so...

I was thinking a nice, freckly Berber type! Bud is (east?) Mediterranean, so why not a western Med peep in the mix?

[Fairportfan]

Desiree Cousteau. (You do NOT want to know how hard i had to to search to find a headshot that wasn't part of Something Else...*)



* ...and i had to crop this one.

It loaded very slowly from the top and paused at the nose for a while, and I thought --- Tootsie?

And, it being the holidays, it would be followed by 2 weeks of guest art and pinups designed to totally drive us over the edge on speculation. As the Klingons are fond of saying "It would be glorious!"
