Since when did what you want matter, Groveller?

Say to the Council of the Lords, and to the High Lord Jay son of *cough*someone*cough*, that the uttermost limit of my span of sobriety upon the Web is seven times seven minutes from this present time. Before the end of those minutes are numbered, I will have the command of Guiness and Jagermeister in my hand. And as a token that what I say is the one word of truth, tell them this: My Mother, Harpy of South Carolina, has left the house, which was emptied ten times ten minutes ago by my mother at the Ritual of Key-Losing. Say to them that the task appointed to their generation is to return my mother to the house. Without her here, I will not be able to resist intoxication for seven minutes, and my complete intoxication will be achieved six times seven minutes earlier than it would be else.

Emotional Leper, are you by any chance from South Carolina? Me, too. How proud are we of Miss Teen South Carolina???? Sure would like to get together with some SC SRD fans. I'm the only one that I know of besides the folks on this board, period.

It is expected from a guy with aqua hair and rose colored 1950's glasses.

He sorta looks like Maynard G. Krebs.

I have a question, a bit off the current subject, however:

Someone suggested that Kevin's last battle was the outbreak of his leprosy.

If that was true, then what was the parallel occurance to the Legend of Berek Halfhand, the Queen and the King? (I've posted a topic, but it was suggested that I post in here also)

May it have been the birth of his son - the beginning of Earthpower? Or may it have been his wedding, where he was bound by heart and soul to his wedding band (the white gold)?

Any speculation?

It would, probably, have to be before Roger's birth in Land/Earth years. Wedding, ok, but it still doesn't fit the time-line.

If I find out that that's a FR spoiler, I'm going to be pretty ticked off.

As am I.

Not my fault I accidentally came up with something that could potentionally ruin your reading and wished to share it.

Only kidding. I'm sorry if it is, but I couldn't help but think.

What would, I wonder?

Donaldson has dismissed the idea of correlating Land history with events in Covenant's earlier life. (The Leprosy/Desecration one has come up before, as has others.) He didn't say it was a bad idea, but he did admit that he didn't think of it.

The question is, did the mother return home in the alloted time period? Or was the Beer consumed?

First Chronicles happens during Lent, for a reason, does it not?
The second, I can't recall a holiday, just a lazy somewhat hazy late srping early summer.
is there some religious holiday I missed in that, or in final chronicles?
I am frightened to be in the same small state as Emotional Leper.

Not frightened enough, I see, as you haven't talked about plans to move.

Don't worry. That wouldn't save you anyway. It boots nothing to avoid my snares.

according to the good friday to easter theory 3 days would mean 1 day = one month since TC spent approximately 3 months in the land each time he went. and 2 weeks went by from the end of LFB to the beginning of his call in IEW. if im wrong about the 2 weeks let me know. so in 2 weeks our time, 40 years passed in the land, and if im wrong lets say even a month or a year passed. if 1.1 day = a year in the land then TC should have been in the land for about 3 years to complete PTP, unless as suggested he was in a coma for 2 of the three days. and even so he would have had to be in the land for 1 year ..or if he was only available to the land for maybe 5 hours before slipping into the coma, then it would work.

since were talking contradictions. can anyone tell me which way the mithil river runs from Mithil valley? does it run into the south plains from the mithil valley or does it run into mithil valley from the south plains?? i would post a thread on this but i think if I create it will knock me off the watch...im trying to stay on forever

I was under the impression that it ran into mithil valley from the southern plains. and that it connected with the black river and remained the mithil until it connects with the Soulsease before entering mt thunder. but that would mean that the mithil after the black goes in the opposite direction as the mithil going into the valley. anyone got anything solid on this one? in my view the black branches off and becomes the Mithil river and the river heading towards MT Thunder..is the river bordering Andelain between Mt Thunder and the Black/mithil Merger named something else?

The Mithil runs out of the southern mountains and down into the South plains where it meets the Black.

now im confused...and this may not be the forum for it...but if it runs out of the southron mountains into the plains..then what is the mithil plunge? PM me if its a spoiler here...i thought that the plunge was water flowing into a gap in the ground, meaning water flowed towards the plunge instead of away from it? if its a waterfall instead of an underground opening does it have a lake?

again if its a spoiler PM me with it..i dont mind having that part told...still I havent read FR but landmarks arent spoilers for me.

sorry for the confusion wayfriend...i meant for others with the answer to PM me and not post here in case others consider it a spoiler.

Wayfriend..you need to be a moderator...myself speaking i think you would be a good one.
