Was Zainal an AMcC fan? - A Meeting of Minds

P'ter · Aug 23 2006, 05:08 PM

With his frequently quoted "I DRoP: I stay" was Zainal claiming lifelong fandom for the Dragon riders of Pern?

Myt · Aug 23 2006, 06:58 PM

lol

Jax · Aug 24 2006, 04:11 AM

*facepalm*

Apocalypse · Aug 24 2006, 04:41 AM

:groan: You're mad!

P'ter · Aug 24 2006, 02:35 PM

yup

Sandi · Aug 25 2006, 02:46 PM

Now that was just too punny!

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 25 2006, 03:03 PM

LOL. :;shakes head:: P'ter!

Myt · Aug 26 2006, 01:04 AM

*laughs a all the people making comments about P'ter's pun* Sometimes the reactions are more funny than the original joke

granath · Aug 26 2006, 01:54 AM

Where's Ghyle, btw? P'ter's already written poetry and now his other posts are about as zany as Ghyle's as well. *lol*

P'ter · Aug 26 2006, 08:47 AM

Myt: that's the real reason for being funny. I love people's reactions.

Granath: no I'm not Gyle by any other name. I smell far sweeter (Hm Hm!)

I don't know about "Zany": I'm an English eccentric in the traditional manner.

c_ris · Aug 26 2006, 12:35 PM

Eccentric

Sandi · Aug 26 2006, 01:31 PM

An eccentric most traditional
Whose post were made conditional
To encourage laughter
So readers would after
Enjoy boards based on the fictional.

I know this is the wrong thread. I just couldn't resist!

P'ter · Aug 26 2006, 05:12 PM

LMAO

Blow writing the "right" thread: there's no right rite for such a write. For heaven's sake post it to Becky.

c_ris · Aug 26 2006, 06:39 PM

Hilarious, Sandi!

LOL! Go Sandi! Start a new trend?

P'ter · Aug 27 2006, 08:22 AM

Perhaps we should start a new thread of poems/limericks about each other?

Apart from Sandi's one above, I did one about Apocalypse in the Word of the Day thread.

Sandi · Aug 27 2006, 11:30 AM

This thread has gone off topic. The question was about Zainal. Were Pern books among those that were brought to Botany?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 27 2006, 03:05 PM

Would be very interesting if they were...

P'ter · Aug 27 2006, 03:20 PM

I wonder if Yahoo could do us a translation into Lingua Barevi? Well they do Klingon, and somebody would have had to translate them, even Zainal's English would have had a problem early on.

Of course, in the last book they do "liberate" a library of two, perhaps some Anne's were in that.

granath · Aug 29 2006, 06:31 AM

Kotik!

Apocalypse · Aug 29 2006, 06:53 AM

If they had any taste at all, they'd've found a library of Anne's books - good way to learn English too?

Sandi · Aug 29 2006, 10:26 AM

Well, imagine if any of those books fell into the hands of the few remaining Eosi. They'd be zooming off to Pern to find the dragons. Imagine what one of them could do if they took over the body of a dragon!

Apocalypse · Aug 29 2006, 10:45 AM

I hadn't thought of that!

That would be disasterous!

<---- hang on, I'm one of the enemy!

P'ter · Aug 29 2006, 04:19 PM

I thought you were one of the 4 Chickens of the Apocalypse

Apocalypse · Aug 29 2006, 04:22 PM

No, I have 4 Chickens of the Apocalypse (or at least I will once I sort out some fencing issues

)
Do you think the Eosi would be interested in Earth fiction?

Sandi · Aug 29 2006, 06:27 PM

Well, they wouldn't have to know it was fiction. Maybe they would launch exploratory missions to find Pern or Coruscant (sp?) or the place with all the giant worms. They might be interested in aquiring some spice.

Apocalypse · Aug 30 2006, 03:14 AM

They don't strike me as the 'know your enemy so you can defeat him' type... :shrug:

P'ter · Aug 30 2006, 03:10 PM

What names could we give the 4 Chickens of the Apocalypse?

There could be Feather Pit, and Pecking Order for two of them.

Ideas?

Apocalypse · Sep 1 2006, 09:02 AM

Rare As (Hens Teeth)? Or is that too cheesy?

Sandi · Sep 1 2006, 04:00 PM

Cock o'the Walk? Plucky?

Brenda · Sep 1 2006, 05:47 PM

Chicken Little (The sky is falling! It's the apocalypse!)

Sandi · Sep 1 2006, 06:33 PM

Good one, Brenda!

Apocalypse · Sep 2 2006, 04:51 AM

Brenda!

P'ter · Sep 5 2006, 07:36 PM

How about "Foul Pest" vice "Disease"?

Apocalypse · Sep 6 2006, 03:29 AM

Fowl Pest?

P'ter · Sep 6 2006, 03:20 PM

I prefer MY spelling

Lady Maelin · Oct 15 2006, 12:17 PM

How did I miss this thread...I have been laughing my head off all the way down.
I mistakenly thought I was going to read a thread dedicated to Zainal, as I am presently reading the Freedom books...and instead I find Peter and his friendly band of merry makers...poking Pun!!!!

@Apo, I love the four chicken of the Apocalypse...Mine was the Singularity, that had the Diabolical Duo !!!!

edith · Oct 15 2006, 12:34 PM

what type of chickens are they Apo. Is they're Friesiens- forget it!
