And/or, but again, the elves have confounded the issue with their evil propaganda.
And also, remember a lot of it is cultural confusion. Many of these races have a “you invade my lands, you become fair game for my pot” policy, which you have to admit is pretty reasonable, particularly in high mountain and tundra like regions where game can be scarce.
As you may know, neither humans nor elves are very culturally insensitive, it is their culture or they kill you. They refuse to respect other people’s cultures and traditions.
This causes a lot of problems.
Aer-ki Jyr, clearly the name of some sort of exo-Terran…sorry as you guys call yourselves, Earthlings, so this fellow is an exo-Earthling based on his name and his triangular shaped skull.
I’m so glad I joined this forum. I never would’ve learned all these details about what really happened on Middle Earth or any of these other worlds if I hadn’t found this book series.
Oh, sorry to hear about your cousin.
Although it sounds like it was a nice gig while it lasted.
Pretty nice to have waiters delivering your dinner to you on a regular basis.
I encountered a cult like this once, I believe they called themselves Grubhubbers or something like that.
[quote=Tizzy;7216][quote=Dirk Flamberge;7214]I think you’ll find that you’re forgetting about a whole litany of super stomach creatures, like Eborsisks, The Giant Dune worms of Arakkis, The Molbol, And various swamp-based creatures.
Also you might be overrating our slimey friend here’s power and ability.[/quote]
GelCube, if you got eaten by a Dune Sandworm or any of these others, could you eat your way out?

Hmm, I don’t know. I’ve never been eaten by anything like that. I’d like to think I could, but how would I know unless I tried? Those sandworms…are they like the ones on Saturn?
Although I did have a cousin that got ate by a sharlick, sharlok…something like that. Anyway, it was this toothy hole in the ground on some desert planet or other. After he ate the insides of the thing out, some crazy cult or something kept throwing creatures in the hole, so he just hung around and ate them as they fell in. Heard he got killed when they dropped in some weird guy in armor.

[quote=Tizzy;7213]Hmm, so if you are a golem or other inorganic creature, you’d be safe.
How would we tell if two Gels were eating each other or having sex? Pretty sure it would look about the same.[/quote]
Actually, it pretty much is the same thing. Pseudopods aside, swapping genetic code at the molecular level takes a little digestion. That’s why Gels have to be around the same size/level. Otherwise, one just eats the other. Hard on the love life, but hey, at least you’re never hungry!
As for golems, while I can’t digest their inorganic bodies, I can dissolve them. And flesh golems? Yummy.

Oooh!
Was just thinking about this some more.
You know what the perfect meal would be?
Jello!
If you were to eat a gelatinous cube (e.g. our friend-fellow-forumer [USERLINK]GelCube[/USERLINK]) then both would be dinner and diner!
You eat the gelatinous cube and then it eats you from the inside out!
Win Win!
I would have to suspect he lives on KU reads. $2.99 per 90 page book generally doesn’t get a lot of kindle purchases unless its porn, and all Zon-porn is ridiculously expensive.
It’s actually a pretty good model, particular for someone writing serialized fiction, it can generate a fairly reliable income, much more so than bigger books which drop, get a pile of money and then dry up. You may generate the exact same amount of money, but the second is much more of a feast or famine thing. Actually you probably get more money, KU earns me more than straight e-book sales and pretty sure this true for most indie authors writing fiction.
I agree with Dirk. I was under the impression that Hrothgar had Grendel killed because he didn’t want word getting out that Grendel was his son.
Who said anything about Angelina Jolie? You get a Viking drunk enough, he’d dip his wick in anything.:-s
You know, I can’t help but wonder if some vikings managed to make it down to the American South. In a lot of ways they bear a striking resemblance to the Southern American group called “redneck”. They love their gods and weapons, and a lot of their adventures start with “Here, hold my beer and watch this”.
