Um, no?
Although how funny was it that my friendslist gained a new community dedicated to codswalloping ninny heroes in fiction this week? Very funny.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
And I think it was off a rec from Chronicle X.
Yeah. ChronX always recced the really good stuff (if it was MSR), but a fair amount of not-so-much also got through.
I hadn't realized you meant the Magician series, Nutty. I skimmed a chunk of it, back in the day, but I've read enough mediocre fantasy novels in my time; I really didn't need another one.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I didn't mean the Magician series, when we were discussing the "Help! Help! I'm being attacked by the author's id!" story-series upthread.
(Actually, I've never read the Magician series, because, it just doesn't sound bad enough to make it past my oh-come-on-o-meter. I'll read silly nonsense if it's bad silly nonsense.)
The series we were , um, guarding ourselves against was called "Life from the Ashes," IIRC. Where is Encyclopedia Snacky when I need her?!

"Life from the Ashes," IIRC.
Yup, that was it. I don't think I've encountered the Magician series.

You know, all I did was skip and skim, and I still saw a reference to the cat-overlord Sentinel story. Do you people care nothing for my traumatic experiences? Will no one think of the Emily?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That Sentinel story has scarred all of us, even if we haven't read it. It's like metastasizing evil meme.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I just came across some calling Mac/Beaver (from Veronica Mars) MacGyver.
Please hold me.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think it's fair to throw spelling primers at people like that. Like, Filliam H. Muffman actually uses letters in the people's names, but there is no G in Mac/Beaver.
Now I have Filliam H. Muffman stuck in my head.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Imagine how Filliam feels about that, Nutty.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
(And I have to say, it wasn't that the name-squish was all that funny; it was watching Colbert crack himself up that made me scream laughter. I've only seen him do it once before, and then, it was because he was watching Jon Stewart crack up.)
