Re: Post your Twitfic Twabbles Here! (General Content)
My high school genetics project escaped its cage, slithered downstairs, and unhinged its jaws. My homework ate my dog.

Re: Drabblecast 395 - The Slaying of the Dragon
Finishing this story was difficult, and required multiple attempts. It reminds me of experiences I'd rather forget.

Re: Drabblecast 387 - Skullpocket: Part 2
Very nice denouement to this story. It started off like an episode of the Addams Family, where people mistake whimsy and humor of the protagonist for actual ghoulish behavior, but with a hint of heavier darkness. Then it steadily descends into darkness, until it ends with children being literally ea...

Re: Sole Survivors

The real question is do you want to wash them again and look for their mates or just throw them all in the trash?
That's why I only wear gray socks.

Thanks for that, Desmond. I'm glad I can listen to the episode now. Hopefully that link can be repaired in the coming months.

Drabblecast 382?
Does this exist? I've almost caught up to the end of the Drabblecast archives, but it appears there's a missing episode.

Re: Still alive?
I'm hoping it's a burnout, and I hope Norm is okay, wherever he is. And hopefully he'll return one day with a story to tell. It would have been very nice for this Podcast to have been folded into the Escape Pod collective like Cast of Wonders. I'm a bit disappointed that didn't happen. It would have...

Re: We miss you Norm Sherman
Great tribute, Xiovox. I hope wherever Norm is, he's okay. I'd like to know that he is alright, if nothing else.
Maybe he's just trapped between dimensions in some dark waiting room, waiting on a backwards-talking midget for permission to leave.

Re: Amazon to produce The Culture series
I'm cautiously optimistic about this. On one hand, I'm glad it's happening and I'm glad either Amazon or Netflix got the rights to produce it. On the other hand, Consider Phlebas is being adapted, and that makes me nervous. Consider Phlebas was the odd duck of the series. It's hard to imagine Hora B...

Re: Drabblecast 376 – A Last Kiss for Lazarus Winters (A Saint Darwin’s Spiritual)
I loved this story, and the narration was excellent. It really added to the piece. Something about this story bugged me. I couldn't figure out what. Then it hit me: this is a sequel to St. Darwin's Spirituals, which ran as a special Halloween episode of Escape Pod (episode 264, Oct 2010). So, if any...

Re: Drabblecast 372 - Delicate Parts
I enjoyed that one too. I'm happy to see the Drabblecast is on a more regular schedule now. I just hope it doesn't get cocked up.Well, that should put paid to any allegations about Drabblecast being too grown up and mature these days. A great laugh. I was cackling all the way through.

Re: Drabblecast 371 - Old Dead Futures
Nice to hear another episode. I was really beginning to worry about the onset of Podcast rot, so it's encouraging to hear another episode. Sorry about hearing about your girlfriend and job, Norm. I'm not which order to put those two in, but that's going to leave a mark. I've been there. It sucked. I...

There was a painter in Edwardian England, Louis Wain, who painted cats. He also had schizophrenia. As the schizophrenia progressed, his cats went from cute to bizarre geometric shapes not even resembling cats. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/creatology/files/2011/12/Wain_cats_6.jpg There's somet...

And here are the images Deep Dream generates as it peers into a nightmare gateway into another dimension. I'm not saying humanity should destroy all computers now while we still...
