(I have a way to escape, too. My computer does time travel. Speaking of which, i should be somewhen else right now.)
I don't know if he was high when he wrote this or what. I also don't know how time travel is supposed to help you escape Lavos, whose entire schtick is that he consumes time.

((Dr., it's cool that your cpu can do the H.G. Wells thing, but use it only as a last ditch effort, things get awful messy when you screw with the fabric of spacetime))
Major Asshole always comes up with amusing ways to say "hey dude, that's pretty stupid." I could wish he were here to annotate."Anthadd! There's not much time! We've only got one chance at this attack. Dog's gonna figure out what we're doing and we'll have to think of something else, hurry, man!" Sir became childishly impatient "Agh, sorry, Anth..got caught up there for a sec..."
Translation: "hey Anthadd, you still around or what?"
And notice now the awful punishment for failing to act quickly is... you'll have to think. Words to strike fear in any IF writer's heart.[This message has been edited by SirMontyG (edited 05-20-2000).]

(Whoa! Haven't checked this forum in a while. Sorry, Osman. I'll be going with ya, if ya still want me around... Where are we going now? I'm still kinda lost.
So, uh... I know you're far too busy a man to actually read those hundreds of posts, but you could spare the 15 minutes or so to just read PSIOsman's posts. Can't you?We beat the Randite, went to Summers, and now we have Tsurami with us, right? Tsurami... hmm. How do you pronounce that?
Just like it sounds. Like 'tsunami' but with an R. It's not hard.Well, anyway, I won't post again 'til you do, Osman, I need to now what's going on.)
You might be tempted to think he's just lazy and doesn't want to actually think of a post, but if you're not reading this thing and you see 200 new posts since the last time you posted, you'd be scared stiff of posting the wrong thing and pissing someone off, too. And no way is he going to, you know, read all of that. That would be work.

"Aiee!" Anthadd cried, cracking Diamond Dog into a near-infinite amount of pieces.
I very much doubt that. Even if he converted Diamond Dog into a pile of Diamond Dust, there would probably not be more than, say, 10 million individual specks of dust there. Which is nowhere near infinity. It's not even close to close to close to infinity.
I do greatly appreciate the panache with which Anthadd shrugs and abruptly ends the battle. The translation is "actually, Major Asshole, I'm pretty bored with this too, and we're missing out on the real action here. So I'm totally on board with speeding this up.""Woof."
Anthadd and Sir travelled into the Fire Springs, and collected the melody.
"Now to return to the Tenda Village."
A giant tremour shook the cave, and Anthadd suspected earthquakes causing the fall-in.
"Hurry, Sir! The cave might fall in upon itself, and us too!"
This is a golden opportunity for Major Asshole to write something good. Tense and exciting and action-packed. Most of the IF writers, instead of that, would just say "OK, we teleport to safety and join the Lavos battle." But hey, if anyone in this crowd has a shot at delivering a quality follow-up to this, it's Major Asshole.

(Well, I'm not sure how to pronounce it exactly, but I say it as "sue-ra'h-mee" [accent on the rah]. And thanks for accepting me, all! I'll do my best to do your characters right in my additions...)
Right. It's pronounced like 'tsunami' but with an R. I already said that.After finishing their meals, the four headed out to the beach, where they partook in some leisure. Alan, of course, rode the waves. Siris lay in the sun, letting the warmth almost put him to sleep. Osman ran back and forth, enjoying the general beach atmosphere. TsuramiSea either played with the sand or waded around in the shallow water.
Now he's doing a team guruzeth impersonation, presumably as a prelude to suggesting a merger of the groups."Whooooooah! Here it comes!" shouted Alan, surfing a huge wave. He expertly made it to the shore, and celebrated his victory. Then, surfboard in hand, he walked over to Siris.
"So, dude, how are you managing?"
"I'm doing fine! Ah, this beach is as good as the one on the coast of Eagleland Island, if not better. Nice to just lie around..."
"Why don't you try to catch some waves?" offered Alan, grinning. "The tide here is awesome!"
"No thank you," answered Siris politely. He sat a little more upright. "Have they found any other SM.Netters?"
"Nah," answered the surfer. "And they've walked pretty far across the beach, too. TsuramiSea's, like, just about to give up." He began to head back to the tides. "I'll see you later, 'kay? I'm going to do some more riding...."
"Sure. Just be careful." Alan just waved his hand in a dismissing way, and headed off towards the shore.
(So, how'd I do? Hope I didn't mess anything up.....)
As you see, harking back to Gauntlet Wizard's non-post, there's a lot of nervousness about (a) using someone else's AC in a way they object to, even in something so innocuous as a conversation, and (b) accidentally running afoul of one of the self-appointed Thread Lords such as Tengu Man.
