As many of you know, I am a Scifi/Fantasy author (the professional kind). If you're curious as to what my writing is like, but would rather not shell out for a novel just yet, I've got a story up on this week's Escape Pod podcast. Check it out!

It's free!

I surprised it took me this long to find this:

Star Wars I-III: A Phantom Edit *1080p* - YouTube
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...
I knew I had fans!!!

You have to love the smell of science in the morning. It smells of learning.... or perhaps a gas leak.

It was probably Henry or Gordon that made him snap, eventually.

No I blame those troublesome trucks.  All their taunting and shunting must have broken him.

I guess because Horsjus was already taken? It's magically delicious!



I feel bad for the person that has to bottle it. I mean, what do you tell people that you do for a living? Bottle the essence of a magical being?

Magnificent. I'd buy it for the bottle alone.

Heh, funnier for you Anglophones, I bet. :P "Unikum" is occasionally used in Norwegian as a term for something that is unique, unsurprisingly.

Only time I have heard the term "Unicum" was in World of Tanks.  It's how the community referred to the top players; kind of a play on "unicorn" I think.

Wouldn't both be sexually derogative?

I would sue.

It's just Latin for "something of which there is only one".

Also, I get the joke, just chiming in in case anyone was confused. :P

In one of the game I am presently playing (EVE Online) making jokes about unicorns would have you declared war upon, by extremely nasty gentlemen.
