Interdimensional raging mantis alien!!!! How does that possibly sound lame?!?!

Agreed!

I really liked these stories. Especially the second one. I'd say more about it but it would come off as too personal and lame and also probably start an argument anyway. So I'll just say that I really liked it. Especially the part about monsters being able to love too. That made me happy. :) Also, I...

Pidgen reminded me of every crappy customer service job I ever had. The only difference between the alien in the story who didn't know what language he was speaking, didn't know what he wanted or what kind of store he was in and got mad when the clerk tried to help him and the majority of the popula...

I know - I was making a joke

Although, I admit I did sort of assume that the rivers of Australia ran red with the blood of tourists. You're telling me that they don't??

Yeah... unless people are still killing each other over this and I'm just not aware of it.

No, I'm not sure they really qualify. I mean, Inspector Gadget had extendable segmented limbs and... well he only ever beat Dr. Claw because of his niece and dog. :wink: Also, how can you frappe a noodle that can phase out of existence.. ish... before it ever hits the blades? And I'm pretty sure tha...

You know... that's a good idea. You're on! May take me a few days though

My main point comes from the assumption that this story is an argument on the futility of human existence, and my problem with that is that it treats the futility argument as an end point rather than one node in a huge philosophical morass. It packages an idea (nothing lasts) with a behavior (despa...

He may not need to breath. but he'd certainly need a periscope. The rivers are bloody muddy. Actually, that might make it creepier. Have at it. There's plenty of story to go around. If I do end up writing this one it'll be interesting to see how yours turns out different. Depends on if I can come u...

Yes, that's very close to what popped into my mind. For me it's a guy on the bottom of a river walking as if in a trance, with no need of oxygen. And moving very slowly because of the buoyancy and the resistance of the water. Which brings up several questions... most notably, why doesn't he need to ...

My personal motto is, "When in doubt, vote for whatever has tentacles."

Words to live by.

Damn. Things are always way cooler when they are misunderstood or misheard it seems.

I have cast my vote for the 'snatch. Because... well for one thing I get to say that I'm voting for 'snatch. But more importantly, I think the phasing thing gives the bandersnatch a wicked edge that would be tough to counter. Also, Mongoose was pretty badass and that was just the undeveloped juvenil...

Yeah, it was hard to become too invested in the story because of all the POV changes. I think that's part of why it was somewhat difficult to follow. And I couldn't get too creeped out about bad things happening to people I hardly knew and didn't really care about. I thought it was very well read th...

My second listening to a story, which is rare Yeah, I've listened to this one a lot. I'm also really intrigued by the world in this story and wish there was more too it. One of my favorites - up there with Cinderlands and The Second Conquest of Earth. These three stories actually inspired me to sta...

I'd like to trade the traditional Western religions for the gelatinous ooze monster that talks through the evening news, wears cellophane wings and demands that its followers paint their fingernails purple and spend evenings in an inflatable kiddy pool full of peeps ... or something similar. I enjoy...

Clearly, Shakespear was correct. A Tricerotopsesed smells like tritegoshat.... by any other name.

Happy belated birthday fellow Virgo!

This is going to make verb tenses very, very tricky. I can tell already. :lol: Of course not. Just remember your N and D tenses. I haved fourteen tristegosauruses and haven twenty micro self-transporting lenses = in the present-past, I posses fourteen tristegosauruses and in the present-future I po...
