| Re: Where do you hail from? Don't like your chances there. 'Where have you been, then, Anomaly? Haven't seen you in days...' 'I've been to the far edge of the universe. I've conversed with beings the like of which have never been envisiaged. I've had experiences the human mind can barely process.' [silence] 'Riiiiiiiiiiight. I have to go stand over here now.' |

| Re: Where do you hail from? Now that Fahim has mentioned Enid Blyton I feel safe to say-if I could hail from anywhere it would be the time and place of the Famous Five! In my world I live on Kirin Island and eat apples and chunks of cheese all day, whilst discovering buried treasure and acquiring a gorgeous tan, because it is always summer! Maybe not fantasy, but bliss none the less. Or, I would hail from Earth, but the Earth Harry Harrison describes in West of Eden. Talking dinosaurs. Cool stuff. ![]() |

| Re: Where do you hail from? CULHWCH, I could say I've been to the far reaches, but then bonkers I would be!! No. Had to move my apt in NYC. Downtown to Uptown. Lots of things to take care of there. I'm far enough away from my office I have now become a NYC subway commuter. Come to think of it this may be the far reaches. I feel quite certain I have spotted a few alien species down in the tunnels. Thanks for noticing my absence |

| Re: Where do you hail from? I could be from anywhere in time and place and space due to the space/time continuum due to my readings of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Hodgson, Stoker, Howard, LeFanu, or Kipling. I could be in: Yuggoth Zothique Averoigne Xiccarph Posiedonis Sargasso Ireland England Innsmouth Rama Take your pick. ![]() |

| Re: Where do you hail from? Middle-Earth, but only if I could be an elf, immune to the ills besetting humanity and good healing magic for most injuries. Babylon 5 universe in the third age of mankind. I love reading about Discworld, Pern, the Six Duchies etc, but I have a very low pain threshold and wouldn't want to live in any society with rudimentary or primitive knowledge of medicine. |

| Re: Where do you hail from? Actually, I suspect I'm a Vulcain (plastic surgery can do wonders for the ears) or some other emotionless, analytic being ("does not compute; exterminate") Not what I would have chosen; a barbarian warrior with a sword or raygun sounds much more appealing. But one doesn't get to choose one's parents unless one is the Dalai Llama: and it's better than being a Vogon. |

According to Buddhism belief, Buddha chose his parents. I'm not sure the Dalai lama has any choice in the matter. ![]() | |
