You nerds need to pay up before the vault seeks you out.

Stamen-Vision!

...actually now that I think about it, the fact that she sees through eye-penises is really odd and disconcerting.

That's the emotional down-side of developing an attachment to an anther-omorphic character... especially one of Pollen-ysian descent.

Dude? Punjar, now!

Not to over-do it, but Nadette is running slightly blind here. She still does not know about the horned girl, or if she does know she doesn't know about how Atsali felt about her.

Wow - boy, if i was going to play the Major-General in a production of "Pirates of Penzance", now i know what i'd put on the costume for rank badges.

[Gavote]

Those flower clusters would indeed make some seriously awesome shoulder caps!

Trying to stay on topic: this (hopefully) will be an unintentional conversation between Castela and Nadette on Monday, if not next week.

And the tiny tots are most always a fount of knowledge and wisdom. If we "growed ups" followed their advice more often, there'd be less trouble.

Eh, I don't know about that. I think it's more that kids haven't yet learned to follow the social conventions that tell us what to say, when to say it, and what not to say. They'll just bluntly say whatever they think. While that sometimes lets them go ahead and cut straight to the heart of the matter in a way that more polite conversation wouldn't, you have to remember that those social conventions developed for a reason. More often than not, what kids say when they do that will be inappropriate or just wrong based on ignorance. After all, much of their advice would simply be, "give me everything that I want right now!!!"

So carefully considering what kids say is a good idea, but going to them as a regular source of advice would probably end rather badly.

true, but sometimes those social conventions are just excuses for putting up with liars and con artists.
