I don't know? What does weebleongdead mean anyway?
confused (it doesn'nt take much) Managed to make me cry again - this time with remembering Boris Karloff and Frankenstein films - most old films get me though Ernest Thesiger was mentioned in this essay though, a relative of an old blind lady I knew in Tunbridge Wells - Patience Thesiger. She was mayor of TW at one time and had two famous relatives, Ernest and Wilfred, one actor and one explorer - think they were decendants of William the Conquerer? I must wander through life in a mist though, all I can remember about her is her little dog and that she gave me some handmade black lace - beautiful stuff!

It reminded me of a Terry Pratchett bit, I think it was Igorina in Monstrous Regiment saying that female patients might prefer a female doctor with her fingers on the "we belong dead switch" (although I could be wrong and I'm far too lazy right now to google it)
And therefore I think Neil just made a typo. Although I could be wrong about that, too.

I do believe you are correct, Maeve. I googled "We belong dead switch" and Google Books/Monstrous Regiment came up.
If Weebleongdead was a typo it was a purposeful one, because he was making a bit of fun about posting while overtired. Although I still believe it was a veiled death threat directed at me. *paranoid* ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ Weeble Song! Sing along! ~ courtesy Snazzy Snazzypants |

that confused me, too. I'm glad you guys know what he's talking about! I don't read enough sci-fi/fantasy in general to get some of the references he makes.

Re: Neil's shaving tip.
I found myself in the desperate position of trying out Neil's shaving-with-hair-conditioner tip this morning. Ouch. Additional niceness: Comment from Neil Himself from somewhere, somewhere in Australia. |

I thought you were just supposed to leave the conditioner on for a while and then shave regularly. or did I misinterpret that bit. (I don't have facial hair and I rarely bother to shave my legs
but that's far too much information)I would have thought the end of the world is everyone's responsibility, wouldn't you? ~Death in Thief of Time Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. |

I left it in for a bit, THEN shaved. 30 hours later: OWowowoOWWWWWW ______ My home town claims to have the sunniest climate in Britain. Then I read American Gods and realised you never see last year's carnival queen... |

Did you still use shaving cream? I thought the conditioner was to soften up the hair, but you'd still shave as you always do.
Maybe it's the conditioner. Hrm. ... I think this might be the problem.  |

i've not got one yet, but *coughcough* can i draw your attention to this thread here.
~ You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.) I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. |

you're fitting in just fine. i'm not sure if you should be happy or scared about that ~ You are an Accomptant.

A further reply from Mr Gaiman on the subject of shaving: "You're doing it wrong"
Well, that told me. ______ My home town claims to have the sunniest climate in Britain. Then I read American Gods and realised you never see last year's carnival queen... |

Such a helpful chap isn't he? I just popped over to your blog and watched the Dr Who etc Youtube clip - brilliant!
And Neil's links still amaze me - that Russian house! I wish I wish I wish I wish! Can't you just imagine yourself there! Delight and despair or what? ********* "It's not the thing you fling, it's the fling itself." (Burning Down the House) |
