Ha! Reminds me of the time I was playing at an Irish session in a bar, and the German club came out of the back room and requested Edelweiss…

Hey, that’s actually a big accomplishment!

Oh yeah, details a bit different but that sort of thing badly derailed my Long Sun reread. I just put the book down for like eight months…

A three panel meme based off Crocodile Dundee. When Mick Dundee is confronted by a gang member wielding an aluminum pipe as a weapon, he says "That's not a pipe. THIS is a pipe." While holding up a picture of the pipe from Magritte 's Treachery of Images.

Poipe

"They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap."

Argh, why is there no easy way to share my "weirdly accurate in characterization yet completely inaccurate in chronological time" result on Bluesky?

Are You Playing Dungeons & Dragons or Doing Your Taxes? “The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.”

1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity.

2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier.

I just discovered Alan Ng's Field Guide to Paddy O'Rafferty: www.irishtune.info/public/paddy... -- a chart which tries to categorize all the different jig parts that go into jigs called Paddy O'Rafferty. Mine is Emile Benoit's version of PJ Conlon's version, 8a 1b. What's yours? #TuneSwapTuesday

Honestly the last thing I was listening to was recent informal recordings of music mostly written more than 50 years ago...

Only to provide a change of pace from listening to music fifty years old...

I'm having trouble finding an address for it, but it has a 906 (UP) area code and appears to be attached to Michigan Tech, which certainly suggests it's the Houghton in the UP?

I think Star Wars was the first time I ever read six issues of a comic together? But really X-Men was the first one I properly collected.

Author is Ellen Kushner.

At least we’ve always got this one and Thomas the Rhymer.

I might just give Tawny Newsome a blank check to do whatever Star Trek she wanted to…

This is actually pretty sensible, I think? At least, as a bassoon player I used to read alto and bari sax music like it was in bass clef, but adding three flats to the key signature, for automatic lazy transposition. Sounds like your son effectively did that in reverse!

Just the Star Wars, and I think I may have actually bought a reprint a few months later?

The only other title there that I read was Iron Man, but for whatever reason I remember buying issues from a year or two before that and a year or two after, but don't remember buying any issues near #100.

Thank you!

Though grumble, of course it’s one I don’t have….

Which book do you mean?
