Sarl is some piece of work, all right. So is Mekeritrig, who I'm pretty sure is the Nonman Kellhus meets in TDTCB. Searching for faces on his cloak like he's looking for his car keys....pretty damn funny: "You remind of.....THIS one.....no, no......THIS one!"

I'll bet we see both again in TUC.

Oh, and regarding (talk about le môt juste!) the Sorweel-as-voyeur scene: perhaps you are right. It could also be, since it is the climax (so to speak) of Sorweel's arc in WLW, another cautionary warning about "digging too deep" and seeking after dangerous knowledge. Or just a brutal portrayal of human heartbreak. So many levels to Bakker's writing....

Yes, I jest....very kind compliment, thanks.

About Kellhus: I think his fucks are tools. Conditioning the Ground. But I also agree with the line of thought that argues the experience on the Circumfix changed Kellhus, and he is now more than a scrutinizing/calculating Dûnyain. Yet, he is still a Dûnyain. What a character!

Oh, there's someone in this forum called "Madness" ... I thought Beard was saying he said it from his own madness ( as in insanity ), maybe an idea he had but now thinking it was a bad one.

I am one confused mofo, thanks for bearing with me! I'm getting there.
Lmfao! That is hilarious, Tao!

What, I say, what would give you the slightest impression that I suffer from any.....misperception of reality or instability of temperament?

Btw, you should check out my "Name That Comic!" Contest. Deadline is Friday,  May 3rd, 10:00pm GMT. (5:00pm CDT). Now...would a crazy person start such a thread?

Or the guy who shouts "dinner time" and causes the ranks to disolve in TGO when the Great Ordeal bum rush the horde.
No, Merch, unfortunately, I've written the routine from the perspective of a comedian who is NOT part of the Great Ordeal.  The "dinner time" guy has a post-war career in front of him, should he survive.


I think the judges killed him for coupling with the corpses of the enemy.
Alas, Merch, you're probably right.

Consuming the Meat has especially deleterious effects on creative types such as comics.......no impulse control at all!

Credit where credit is due, Tao; it was Madness who came up with the "Dûnyain --> man" idea.

I SUGGEST AL -- THE ANUS LEAF
Well, MG, that qualifies for the coveted "WTF?" prize.
THE ANUS LEAF JOKE--SARL IN TJE!!!

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO HOW TAE ENDS

it is not
"This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but with an anus leaf joke."
(with apologies to T. S. Eliot)

holy shit bk--that was awesome
Thank you, sir! Not too damn many T. S. Eliot references on the Forum, nor in the broader world, these sad and diminished days. Come to think of it, Eliot and Bakker are both concerned with the lack of meaning in the modern world.

Now there's a pivot for you: from an anus leaf joke to the search for meaning!

Anyone interested in sci-fi should read The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. Then finish the trilogy (The Dark Forest, Death's End). An original (and somewhat corrective) perspective on first-contact issues. Mind-blowing physics speculation.

Given Bakker's philosophical concerns, I agree with H. on the Inchoroi.

Query: Are there REALLY only two surviving Inchoroi? I'm thinking there must be more.....I await TUC and our first real look at Golgotterath.

I think there really are just two, honestly.  Only 6 survived the Graft to see the Onta.  What happened to the other 4 is not really known, but while I think that Inchoroi are technically immortal, it certainly seems that their physical forms are not immutable.  Aurang would once have been tremendous and strong, yet even as to the False Sun, he is no where near as physically intimidating.  It's unclear if that is a result of the Grafts, or just atrophy over time though.

For all we know though, perhaps Aurang and Aurax cannibalized the other 4, or attempted further Grafts on them which ended up killing them.
I'm sorry, but how do we know about the 6 Inchoroi surviving the Graft?

« on: May 01, 2017, 08:23:43 pm »
This is a super old thread but anyway... I'm Scottish so whenever there is a word that has "ch" in the middle or end, I pronounce it in the same way we pronounce loch. It's not really something I can spell out but it's a slightly guttural burr. So when I read Achamian I say it as Ach (kind of like "och" but with an a) amy-in.
Kinda like you're hacking up some phlegm..... ;)

Sounds like Zoro. Will he wear a black hat?
Wilshire, I honestly haven't thought about "Zorro's" stage attire. But you may have nailed the nickname, should Zöreius win this lunatic contest.
