My thought is she wants to know which river is their river.

Alas, with this I must

I also wonder if anyone else saw the Oracle Hypatia's speech in Aubron's 2881 frame as "I am sorry (I to apologize). Your language is like those spoken by the (?). Difficult (and cryptic?) BUT I learned it." Sorry if redundant, but I didn't see anyone else suggest the word difficult there....

Tatiana

Totally agree, higgs-boson. Can someone remind me how they got two bags back again? I thought they had to abandon Cueball's bag after the meowlpie attack and he carried everything thenceforth in her bag. Did the beanies give Megan another one? Okay, I went back and found that when they left the hous...

Tatiana

"Tell me where your home is." That one is pretty clear. I wonder if the blotchiness of the Oracle Hypatia's speech will continue to get easier and easier to decipher as they pick up more on her accent and as she learns their language better? Notice this sentence is a command and it ends wi...

I cry a little inside every time I see a redundant spoiler without a redundant kitty. No, no, it's not your fault, I'm a cute addict. (or weird addict in some cases, but i'll accept that too) My skills are very rudimentary. I'm working on adding redundakitties to my posts, but I just learned how to...

So awesome how the OTTers are helping me improving my foruming skillz. This time meowlpy down for realz, y'all.

If I'm remembering correctly, we know that Aleph-1 is the infinitude of the integers, but as for the higher infinities, we're not sure how they are to be numbered, because someone could always come along and find an infinity that's larger than the integers but smaller than the reals. I may be rememb...

To me that looks like she's the organist in the great casthedrel.

Having finally ketchupped for the day, I must leave you all now to coma. Meowlpy down.

Spoiler:

Tatiana

Oh I have to coma, but I wish I could stay and see what happens. Molpy down.

Tatiana

Okay, that spoiler is the greatest thing ever!

Tatiana

Translation: "Do whut?"

Tatiana

Every time I'm in the past I'm desperate to ketchup to what's going on right now, but when I get here, I become impatient that people don't post faster so I have something new to read. Then I miss ketchupping. Some people are never satisfied, I guess.

Tatiana

AnotherKevin, that is wonderful, great, neat, wow! I love it!

Tatiana

I wonder if their Ikea at home is all flooded now, with boards warping and all.

Tatiana

Every time I check the OTC, it seems to be just one frame away from some major reveal. Then when I check it later, the prior frame wasn't a reveal at all, but *now* it seems just one frame away from some major reveal. I guess that's how GLR keeps us glued to our seats, waiting for it. Does anyone el...

Tatiana

It strikes me that the tower would be a safe place to sleep tonight, likely to be free of meowlpies and other predators. Maybe they should do that so they can both sleep together, rather than taking turn and turn about down on the ground.

Tatiana

I have to agree that this is one of the best communities I've ever been part of online. I know I don't contribute much but I love reading everyone else's contributions. Yappobiscuits, I'm curious. What's the OtherForum that you've made good IRL friends on? Mine was Hatrack River, the forum of the wr...

Tatiana

Oh, one more thing. You folks are doing a bang-up job on the detective work with the starfield. Current theories I've read are placing this some 13,000 years or so in the future, although some aspects still need to be reconciled. Since we've also been curious about geography, I wondered if we have ...

42 guests I
am full of admiration
for your clever name!

Welcome!

I'm so happy to be in the present for the first time in a while. So glad I made it before NP1k

Tatiana

How do we know, in light of the meteor episode, that there haven't been multiple frames lost when the bots weren't looking that GLR might have put in to keep us on our collective toes? How are we sure that we won't miss many more in the time to come?

Tatiana

I think that's Jupiter; its position is very close to what Stellarium predicts for 13291/04/14. Darn, was about to say the same thing! Definitely Jupiter, and the date is around the 14th or 15th of April in 13291 ... So if this is 13291 (at something like 40°N latitude), then according to Stellariu...

Tatiana

So happy now that I've skipped forward to see that the OTTers are all over the astronomical aspects of this thing. I should never have doubted you guys! This is fantastic!

Tatiana

Blindposting from 30 pages in the past. I don't know how anyone can blitz truly. I just keep falling farther behind when I try. Anyway, I'm not seeing any stars or constellations I recognize, are y'all? I thought that was probably Venus that followed the sun down the sky, and after that, a reasonabl...

Hooray! I can't wait! <bounces up and down>

Such amazing work, yappobiscuits! I would love to be smiliefied! Put me in the queue please! Modify my picture as needed. :lol: Edit for the Papal Decree: I have 8 house meowlpies and their names are Mama Julie, Joshu, Ghost, Hadjii Jacob, Sun, Masa, Momo, and Alai. Here's a picture of 7 of them. ht...

We call them lightning bugs here. Though they look nothing like lightning. Still, fireflies just sounds wrong to me. I didn't know their numbers were declining. :( We used to catch them and put them in jars to use as impromptu lanterns. Ours never blinked simultaneously, though I've heard some do, a...

Blindposting from 6 NPs ago: A small, furry, black meowlpy is scratching my leg, making it bleed, here on the outside, as a way of saying "excuse me, ms. human, ma'am, but may I have some of your attention, please?" I'm either going to trim those claws or else get a thwapping stick. Thus i...

Never seen a sheepish cat before, nor a catty sheep. (Says this family of smug and joyful cats.)

Posting from the past (NP 892) but to me it looks like a clamp truck which has a victrola attached to a high mast on top. Those are commonly used in the paper industry (except for the victrola -- which must be impromptu) to handle the large rolls of paper that come off the winder into and out of th...

Why, oh why, can't I stop reading this thread and following this comic? I've been sucked into the vortex! I never can get tired of doing it because it is so essentially meaningless.

UKL is great! I've read almost everything she's written multiple times. She's 82 or 83 now but her latest stuff is the best yet. Try the Annals of the Western Shore trilogy (Gifts, Voices, Powers). They are wonderful. She's the only fantasy writer (that I've read) other than Tolkien who makes her w...

On Dr. Who, I would recommend starting with 4. Most of his episodes were written or partially written or at least flavored by Douglas Adams, though one or two of them were indeed execrable. Then I would completely skip 5 and 6, and pick back up with 7. I haven't watched any after that, but I hear 10...

I must have skipped those pages. I'm not a full blitzer. I just click on the latest newpage each day and read from there. Still funny, even if t'was old news at the time to others. I'm glad you gave credit where it's due, though.
