That, and the insult to their Mistress.

And she's got the entire Jaegar army out there right behind her, hasn't she? Not that the Heterodyne all on her own wouldn't be enough trouble. These people trying to bar the door aren't bright. Or they aren't educated. Or both. Wonder why Gil left them in charge -- or whether he didn't, and whoever's actually in charge is going to show up any minute.

While on YouTube I chanced on a scene from one of the films in the Equalizer franchise, in which the titular character McCall (Denzel Washington) is quietly reading a book in a diner when a gunman threatens him. McCall knocks out the gunman... using the book.

I posted this comment: "I'm imagining McCall's review of the book afterwards: "Powerful, hard-hitting... I couldn't put it down.""


hahahaha love it "Really hits you where you live", does it?  (I don't know the movies, so I don't where the book impacted.)

She is also using The Voice, which would account for the expressions of those behind her, I assume. 
Always something keeping Gil & Agatha apart, isn't there?

The Finnish celebration of Friends Day on 14 Feb is more aligned with me at the moment.

Looks like it's going to take fewer pages than I thought.

Language Board / Re: Icelandic Learning Thread

Hi, not that I'm about to try learning Icelandic, but I do have a few questions I hope fit in there :

Minna called Icelandic mages Seiðkarl and Seiðkona. There was also the word Seiður thrown in the mix, which I thought was a neutral-plural when speaking about several mages of indefinite or mixed gender.
Seems like it's not the case.

So : I'd like to know what is the difference between the tree above ( Is Seiður a neutral singular ?) and what are their plural ?
(from the first post in this thread there are two groups of words finishing in -ur, and they have different plural : -ir or -ar.)
Same with Galdrastafur ?

They have an emergency pipeline under construction, has been for a while already so they are hoping to get it connected by noon tomorrow. Problem is that if the heating pipes (with water that used to be hot inside) freeze solid, the pipes will burst. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
I say, wouldn't it be about time to deal with that flaming liver in a more immediate way?  :sigrun:

A prediction:

The Heterodyne going where she was told not to go in 10 . . 9 . .  8 . . .

(Though, considering what work this is, it may be more pages than that.)

Thanks to both of you.
I will probably add some SSSS related or loosely related drawings/doodles in the forum. Since I'm only taking up a pen every once in a while, please be understanding...
