I'd like to get a tattoo eventually, the problem is finding something I want for life.

Burn anyone's book? I would never! Sic the Deep Ones on them, steal their rug, trap them in a weird cube full of puzzles, sure, but book burning? Please. I may be a zealot, but some things are just wrong...Not as wrong as heretical apostrophes, but wrong, nonetheless.

OK, in the interest of spurring further discussion, I'm gonna share the near-horrifying thought I had whilst test driving a car today:
What's the strongest sign Marten can give Dora that he's not going to cheat on her, leave her, or trash their relationship in any other way?  
I don't think Jeph's going there, not yet.  At least, I hope that's not where this is heading before a lot more gets resolved.  

So, maybe 2025 or so?  Of course, if everyone waited until they were ready, it would never happen...

Um...   I think I see what Carl was hinting at, but no one seems to have gone there...

The awful, dangerous, shocking, deeply frightening, outlandishly radical, massively matriarchal (or patriarchal?), male-soul-destroying institution that got a lot of teeth gnashing a few pages ago....   [near-horrifying, indeed!]

(Dare i say it..?)   Hint: if everyone waited til they were ready, it would never happen...  

Yes,                "Marriage."

Imagine, if you will, a universe in which Marten (at some point in the future, I don't think any of us are nearly ready for it) decides to propose to Dora...  (No! I don't see it either! It's just a remote possibility that would, probably, reassure Dora, move the uber-plot forward, display massive character development, trigger a massive fanservicey (for the female readers) wedding arc, etc, etc.) 

( I'm Not Ready!!! )   

[Is it cold in here?]

Jeph said once that none of his characters were remotely ready to get married, but (A) he said that a long time ago, (B) they might not wait until they're ready.

$20 bucks says that Pintsize is actually married to a network server in Mexico and never told anyone.

It reminds me of when Kennedy said "one means 'danger,' and the other means 'opportunity'" - well, yes, because it's an opportunity for danger!  That's what a crisis is!

It reminds me of when Kennedy said "one means 'danger,' and the other means 'opportunity'" - well, yes, because it's an opportunity for danger!  That's what a crisis is!

I assume you're referring to this JFK quotation: "When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity." There is only one problem with his remark. It is wrong.

The Chinese word for "crisis" is not, repeat not, repeat NOT made up of characters meaning "danger" and "opportunity". You don't have to take my word for it; Go and read this article, or this one, or this Wikipedia entry.

[Kugai]

It's probably one of those old myths like the one about the Chinese character for trouble.

[raoullefere]

If you mean. "May you live in 'interesting times,'" the Kennedys were in on that, too.

[Tergon]

Yeah, but the good old Jam Doughnut wasn't exactly known for getting full marks in other languages, was he?
