I've worked in fast food, too, and it's worse, although you don't encounter as much stupidity. It's part of the cycle of human hatred. High School is what plants the seed of hate Employment in fast food is the soil in which that seed germinates and moving on to tech support is what causes the hatred...

...but I don't think the breaking of the Law of Death affected the "real" world. It would be like trying to hurt me by stabbing my reflection in the crotch.

That's one that bugs me...I mean, I like to think of the Land as a reflection of the real world, just as Foul is in some way a reflection of Covenant's inner Despiser...but if that's the case, how does Troy fit into things. The coma theory seems very unlikely to me; the situation he was in during su...

Don't tell me about stupid people, I work in tech support

If SRD assumes, that means even he doesn't really know. How the (expletive of choice) are we supposed to figure it out?

*goes on a killing spree*

Providing details is illegal, confirming employment is not. Otherwise it would be impossible for potential employers to check references. In which case, there's no sense in bothering to try to do a good job at work, since you can always quit your job, and when the next potential employer calls the p...

Angels and ministers of grace defend us!

No wonder the name sounds so similar to "scourge"

The last thing the Land needs is "teh Intarnet"

Even Foul isn't mean enough to do that.

I could see SRD doing that just because it would hurt them so much ^.^

Maybe not any real consequences, but an immoral act is still immoral if it's only done in a dream. It's a sin of intent.

Has anybody figured out what the deuce the Durance and skurj are?

I'm pretty sure that Linden won't dare go back in time to Kevin's age...That would shatter the Law of Time beyond all repair and free Foul.

Not really...In both cases, I think it's a simple moment in which reason is lost to passion. It happens to all kinds of people. I know such things have happened to me (No details, because it's stuff I'm quite ashamed of and don't want to discuss in a crowd of strangers). One moment, I'm doing someth...

He had no existence in Covenant's world. That doesn't mean he wasn't real. In effect, the use of Mhoram's POV in TPTP demonstrates that Covenant's Unbelief was factually false. It's not that clear to me. Even within the framework of the book, the Land itself isn't totally real. Not totally false, e...

Mhoram was a viewpoint character in The Power That Preserves, and he had no existence in the real world.

And just because Troy was part of a think tank wouldn't neccesitate the denial of his very existence. They'd just say he was a janitor or something.

3 years a book?

I'm gonna die

Chapters has the disadvantage of being a giant chain store, so they don't have to work so hard. It makes them lazy and creates poor customer service

I got mine no problem. As others have noted, the chapters website lies about stock...Chapters in Moncton had never even heard of it--but I just went across the parking lot to Champlain Place and the Coles there had a whole whack of copies. Kind of strange, since Coles is owned by Chapters, but c'est...

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Troy never existed in the real world. Remember at the end of the Illearth War, Covenant tried to call up the DND to find out what happened to Troy and they said he never existed. Troy, belike, is an externalization of the part of Covenant that wants to help the Land, a...

One can only aspire ^.^
