Well I wasn't there long - I dropped out after Beast. I was 17 years old and pretty homesick. I think I recall a long, long time ago a thread where folks who went to a military academy sounded off. Probably two or three forums ago.

I love the idea of the old losties and the new not losties running into each other. I knew in my head that one group was 2007 and another was alt-2004, but I didn't feel like I was hit over the head with it and I wonder if that was intentional - something to mislead us...

I don't know - I'm a pretty small guy. I might be able to get by with a toddler diaper.

I'm sure I would like it. I'd probably like it too much. I'd be one of those guys with a giant long flowing beard, long curly finger nails, a food stained bathrobe, etc. just hunched over the computer day and night. That's just not a healthy thing for me to be doing.

Listening to The Improbable Tales of Sherlock Holmes on audiobook. Just started reading Xenopath by Eric Brown (not great so far). I have Chasm City by Alistair Reynolds waiting for me next.

It's middle school, and I just want my students to be aware of the facts. Remember - "Rumors" make a RU out of MO and RS.

Lookin' good Mark!

No on the moon landing rumor. I know where the sniper rumor came from, but I can only guess at the source of the WoW rumor. Perhaps a student saw EN World or my name there and also saw a WoW banner ad and assumed they were connected in some way.

There is also a rumor going around that I am a certified Army sniper. This is untrue. During my brief stint at West Point in 1986 I did qualify as "sharpshooter" on the Known Distance Range. But that's just a label they gave out for different levels of performance (you might be an Expert or...

There's a rumor going around my school that I am a big World of Warcraft player. This is untrue. I have in fact never played World of Warcraft. That is all. Sincerely, Mr. Noah

I loved the ringing in Kate's ears ... that was quite effective. I thought something had happened to me! :)

Loved it!

What makes good sci-fi doesn't always make good fantasy; and what makes good fiction doesn't always make good RPG material. Whoever said "subtle" w/regard to allegory - agreed. Allegory oversimplifies complex issues, and I think the complexities are the most interesting part. Allegories...

Mmmm .... I don't think so.

I'm in the middle of an "inspired by Lovecraft" anthology called Lovecraft Unbound, and partway through Odyssey by Jack McDevitt. I'm also listening to The Commodore (Aubrey/Maturin book) as an audiobook.

B1 and A1, for me.

He's not old enough to be a purist. He's about old enough to point to a tv and say "Spider-Man!" and jump around. :) Looks like Spectacular Spider-Man will be just the ticket.

Cool, thank you!

Hi there, I have a young nephew who apparently is really into Spider-Man. I see a couple of varieties of animated Spider-Man DVD products at Amazon.com - anyone have a suggestion? It could be a series DVD or a single "movie" or long episode or whatever. Thanks!

Just want to echo the sentiment that this sucker is STURDY. I have never seen a screen like it in that regard.
