  1. Some of Terry Pratchett's Gnolls has grass growing on them.
  2. "Bröd". But pain is everywhere, existential and physical -- sometimes you don't even have to pay for it.
  3. No reason -- he's a bit of a dick.
  4. Not the trilogy, no, but the world-building that later became The Silmarillion. And the work done up to the point of the Hobbit's publication was a rather different beast from what got published some forty years later.
  5. Interference: Elmer's Glue, to make whole that which has been fractured! Geography: The Shadowlands, the home of the Shades -- a parallel world which only the Shades and those they invite can enter. Bonus Pick: A Secondary Domain: Repose!
  6. The Erquigdlit spring to mind.
  7. The running season of anime has a cat that definitely could knock that off the counter. He wouldn't, though.
  8. I hope to make my last picks tomorrow morno; am now jet lagged after the first night shift weekend after me holidays. Four weeks paid summer vacation really isn't enough.
  9. This reminds me of a story I heard in my Air Force days -- there was an exercise held in the middle of winter. Out at one of the dispersed bases, a snow plow had cut a cable, and two technicians were sent out in a Volkswagen bus to mend it. Now, it's cold outside, brass-monkey cold, so to keep their fingers from getting frostbite the two guys figure they might as well get the two ends of the cable into the cab of the bus and they'd do the repair there. And everything goes swimmingly, the cabin is nice and warm and they work away like nobody's business. Then, when they're done, they realize that they pulled the ends of the clipped cable through the opposite side windows.
  10. Looks more like Visual Kei than anything, doesn't it?
  11. With popcorn. Sis will certainly let it be known if Bella drags a member of rodentia into her house.
  12. My sister's cat, Bella, is a sweetie. But she just brought in her first hunting victim and dumped it in the middle of the floor in sis's bedroom. Sis is just thankful that this bit of prey was actually a pine cone.
  13. All five of them is Keanu Reeves.
