Go to Intro 4 and watch that video.
He addresses that directly.
*it was sooo funny to be there*

OMG!
I've never seen that before.
You guys started chanting "THOOLAH!!"
I'm going to be laughing for weeks now.

That was me and Lucimay leading the chant. It was a beautiful moment.

Listen to that same video, right after SRD says (falsetto): "Who is that on the cover of the book?" You can hear Waddley say, "It's Linden isn't it?" And right after SRD rolls his eyes, points at her and says "Linden Avery" you can hear Fist&Faith say "She's finally gone COMPLETELY BUTCH!"

Drat! The link (and the site) won't work for me. I was so looking forward to watching that clip too, I've heard so much about it.

I had another Watcher tell me the same a few months ago.
I even had him contact Romeo about it.
He eventually had to contact his ISP and see if the site was blocked for some reason.
He never heard back, but about a week after he emailed his provider, he was able to access it.
Perhaps if you inquire with your school's internet help desk they could see why you are denied access? As far as I can tell, there should be no reason for SRD's site to be blocked by them...

Yep. And when he mentions he's "taking names" ... well, I send him regular updates.

I've been able to access the site from school before, so it shouldn't be blocked. I never saw the video because I didn't know where to find it before, and didn't bother to ask about it. By next week Friday I should be back home, so I think I'll just wait until then.

You were so outnumbered that night - we should've beat you up when we had the chance.

He's taking THOOLAH names only to congratulate us in the end for our insight into the Linden character he created.


The videos are great.
I've read the GI, read and interview and seen Fest pictures but I've never heard him speak before.
I like him even more.
Seems like a good guy.
Thank god he doesn't speak like he writes (I could understand the words he was saying!)

I really have to get to the next Fest when he'll be there.
Hopefully by then I'll have made up a THOOLAH tee-shirt that I can ask him to sign (or maybe a hat)

I hope to make it again as well...

You could have tried. But I was wearing my St. Swithin's Day UnderArmor - proof against any anile and gutless assault.

then the nice portrait of my dragon pendant wouldn't be in the album.
*Menolly hovering above it not withstanding*

I Hate Linden Avery ! Selfish cow

Linden can definitely whinge - she has the power for whinging brimming inside her like a wellspring of whingyment. I don't know she doesn't forget about Law altogether and just go with bleating at the enemy - it'd probably do more damage.

But has anyone forgotten how much utter, woeful, unbecoming self-absorbedness we had to wade through of Covenant's before we reached, perhaps midway through the first series?? It was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

And that's why we liked it!

I was re-reading this old thread.

It still makes me laugh.

I haven't read it all but I've seen the video of people chanting THOOLAH at SRD, a most excellent moment

THOOLAH! THOOLAH! THOOLAH!

u.

I'm sure SRD appreciated that.

I haven't seen this video. How do I get to see it?

MsMary,

Click here (it's on the SRD website) and go to the Intro 4 video. You'll have to download the video before you can watch it, it'll probably take a couple of minutes but it's worth it!

Hahahahahahahahah!



*takes breath*

That was hilarious.

<--- was there for that.

I sent it to my daughter and she wrote back:

"THOOLAH! THOOLAH! THOOLAH!"

Both of us are longtime members.

In case someone is keeping score.
