Uh oh, Ted, it looks like the God of War has voted the latest act off the stage!

Definitely not pleased with the performance, Bob. You can tell by the lightning.

Blurbissimo!

All that static electricity has caused his beard to stand up.

@GSSex-noob Yeah, that blurb sounds like an entry in the Bulwer-Lytton contest.

>6 daard23: It does look to be a dark and stormy night.

For a few years at cons, the B-L guy showed up and intoned the phrases the audience had written. Those were fun panels. A couple of them made it into the books.

My fav was something about "the long nuclear winter was over, the lawn trapped and ate the first robin of spring". A friend and I came up with a noir opening, where the dame who walks into a private eye's office was "like a microwave dinner; icy cold around the edges but molten hot at the center".

And even with all that electricity around, there's still no Ting! to be found.

(I'm a poet and don't even know it.)

>4 GSSex-noob: Yeah, about that blurb...

So, it's telling me that Zanadon the Unvanquished was about to be vanquished and the God of War (not to be confused with the Secretary of War) interceded? Sounds like Ol' GW had money riding on Zanadon and couldn't bear to lose it and unethically tipped the odds in his favor.

Hm. Kinda does sound like the Secretary of War, come to think of it....

I’m not sure if Zanadon is a person or a place. Could be Zanadon, stately home of Charles Foster Kane.
(Cost: No man can say.)

>10 TorMented: GSS!

Rosebud

>10 TorMented: If Zanadon is a place, I'm sure Olivia Newton-John had a song and movie about it....

>12 Hammy_JLK: Maybe those guys (a tiny percentage of the Vorkan hordes?) would have done better on roller skates

>13 GSSex-noob: Vorkan hordes on roller skates ravaging the Spice Lands? Where were Posh, Ginger, Baby, Scary and Sporty when they should have been defending against the ravaging?

Oh, wait. Was this book before or after the Spice Girls?

>14 Hammy_JLK: 1992 book, the Spice Girls made their debut in 1994. So they wouldn't be available.

>15 bam2001: Darn! So much for the Spice Lands, then....

>16 Hammy_JLK: It's little-known that they were war refugees who decided to go into singing.

>17 GSSex-noob: Well! I was today years old (as my younger sister often says) when I learned that....

>18 Hammy_JLK: Nowhere near as twee as the Von Trapps.
