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.

I'm definitely on Poul Anderson's Virgin Planet. Gee, I wonder why that?

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.

Unless I'm mistaken: 'don't you mean a Buddha'
According to Buddhism belief, Buddha chose his parents. I'm not sure the Dalai lama has any choice in the matter.

Vogsphere, judging by what the mirror tells me every morning. And my mercifully rare attempts at writing poetry
