Presentation to Their Majesties
drpaladin commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Presentation to Their Majesties
Generally this has been a stellar time for George, being near Calvert and having a command. October is closer and he will soon be shippers. I hope he finds something to occupy his mind. Alexander has a bit of Bertie in him.- 17 comments

drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Tachyphrasia is also known as cluttering and is a fluency disorder. -
There is plant based cheese.

Let there be true sight! Having sight will open up more subtle levels of human communication to Bzup.

Whenever Geron is posting a new story it is de facto the high point of the day. All else fades into obscurity.

tautological - Word of the Day - Sat Jul 13, 2024
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Tautological is also something which is true by virtue of its logical form alone. Like, the car is either red or not red. -

Tautological brings to mind one high-school teacher I had who was so repetitive there was nothing there to learn. She was a shining example our school system would employ teachers who should have been in mental care facilities. -
There seems little doubt now Bzup is more than a bio-tool. He is one of the aliens. He is as eager to learn about them as they are about him. I guess we'll find out next chapter what Sharples has in mind to protect the little alien.

One would think bikes would be popular there, but surfboards with all those nasties in the ocean?

Well, it's hard for something with the intellect of a cabbage to be enlightened.

What would an alien fart smell like though? Floral or particularly malodorous?

wastel - Word of the Day - Fri Jul 12, 2024
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
One should not confuse wastel with wastrel, who might overindulge in wastel. -
wastel - Word of the Day - Fri Jul 12, 2024
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Wastel is taken from French. There have been many spelling variations; wastell, wastle, wostle, wesstall, wassell, and wassel. -
wastel - Word of the Day - Fri Jul 12, 2024
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
The first thing which popped into my mind was a tune with these modified lyrics. "Wastel days and wastel nights I'm growing fatter without you..." -
Bzup is remarkably adaptable to different environments. He could thrive without external assistance almost anywhere. If he is one of the aliens, I find it hard to see them as competitors for the same resources. I do see a big blowup coming when our officials arrive. They will not by happy with this new situation. I suggest not introducing them.

From Old Norse vāpnatal, act of grasping weapons. -
"Jem, open. Bzup, out." We have a sentient lifeform folks. Oh what a twisted Compact we weave.

It's got something watching Jem.

Something by Roy Orbison. We know Blobby can hit the notes.

No one has commented on the story title itself, Journey Beyond the Sea. It seems to indicate this ship is not our final destination.

Doesn't this just describe it perfectly? River is a mess and when it shows on the outside, it's really bad.

I wonder if Jem sang to it, it would sing back? I imagine so.
