Is that wise?
To take down the Watch the night before the Rapture?
You might cause a panic.
Because to me, when the Watch is down, it is the....... END OF THE WORLD......!

Don't you see, HLT? Jesus is rapturing the Watch in his campaign to make a hell of Earth before he ends the world!

Sarge is either going up first or in for a slow roasting.

That's great, it starts with Mallorys, Comics and the Tank,
and Savor Dam - and Sarge is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself post,
board serves its own needs, dAN serves his own needs.
Feed it off lol speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The posters starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing new games, a government for hire and a gaming site.
Left of Luci and coming in a hurry with the Zombiac breathing down your neck.
Tank by Tank reporters baffled, trumped, Phantasm cropped.
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then.
Uh oh, overpost, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. Tank serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed Tolkien with the rapture and the revered and the left - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, Stone, fight, bright light, Lorin pretty psyched.
It's the end of the Watch as we know it.
It's the end of the Watch as we know it.
It's the end of the Watch as we know it and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - Jenn's hour. Don't get caught in Av's towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to Zeph churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every poster escalate. Menolly incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh-oh, this means no fear Tolkien.
Atomic steers clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and Vain declines.

Brilliant, Sarge! Any chance you will play in Apathetic Octopus if they decide to do a cover of this?

No problem, Sarge. I have CDs of audiobooks of the Pern series, but have never taken the time to listen to them. So, my pronunciation may be totally not how McCaffrey pronounces it, but is how I hear it in my head:sgt.null wrote:menolly - how do you pronounce your name?

It wouldn't surprise me if you and Linna both say it closer to McCaffrey's pronunciation. But again, right now I have no idea what that is. I have heard others say it "MEN-oh-ly." But until the first time I heard someone say that, decades after I first read the books, I never heard it that way myself.

Hmmm...
I admit I was one who formerly pronounced it with the accent on the first syllable. Then the family and I met her in RL (a year ago tomorrow...) and learned that how she said her Watch name.
I too have no idea how McCaffrey pronounced the name of the character she invented...but doesn't the Watcher have the right to stipulate how she pronounces the name she has chosen for herself, even if it differs from how all others pronounce it?
My RL surname is constantly mispronounced by those who do not know me, because it looks to them to be the same as another name they are used to saying. Do I give in and accept that pronunciation? Absolutely not. I pronounce it the way my father and his father (and so on) have always pronounced it.
