I was gonna say that before, but apparently there are some cold-hardy imported ones in gardens. The cliffs of doom, though, those are real. Me and my friends looked down when I was a kid, it took ten seconds to see the bottom. One of them slipped over the edge, and it’s gonna hurt when he hits the ground.
It’s a _really_ large seashell and saltwater taffy store. So far none of the expeditions sent out in search of the dried starfish and sand dollar department have returned.
What’s wrong with Patrick McGoohan? Oh, I see. Yeah, I don’t know if Shaenon and Jeff have tried writing for actors who’ve been cremated. Maybe Leslie Nielsen?
You know, I’d kind of like to see that Seashell and Saltwater Taffy Shop of Doom. There’s a neighborhood in Burbank where a franchise of it would fit right in, near the Bearded Lady’s Mystic Museum and the cute horror book store.
You’d think if there wasn’t much else to do, she’d find different adjectives for the map. There has to be at least one thesaurus somewhere around there.
There may not be much else to do, but even with other adjectives at her disposal, if DOOM is the only thing she focuses on, she’s just pretty much gonna attach it to everything. It is the true defeatist who assumes that there is no way out, simply because everyone and everything they see tells them so.
WELCOME TO ADVENTURE!! WOULD YOU LIKE INSTRUCTIONS?
>
Watch out for the Gru.
NO COLLUSION!
A hollow voice says “Plugh”
Oh hey, Jorge Luis Borges’ Library of Babel is a literal maze of twisty passages, all alike!
(bonus points if you spot the second pun)
Is it literal / littoral?
Textually, that’s the first pun.
Woot bonus points!
Plover!
Crimson and Plover over and over . . .
One hundred thousand voices say “Wop”.
I really like these dark backgrounds.
“blah blah blah OF DOOOM!!!”
[drama button]
I’m gonna sing the doom song! Doom doom, doom doom doom, doom doom doom dooooooom…..
Thanks… now the old “Zoom” theme is stuck in my head!
I was hoping to see Dora at Coffee of Doom.
So is Melanie ending up here really what happened to Sara?
Are you suggesting Sara and Ginny got eaten by a transdimensional Allosaur with a wormhole in its gullet?
We were told Sara was eaten by an Allosaur, but what if Jeph is really Mr. Green, and he had her extirpated? o_O
If it comes to that, Tip and Sven have startlingly similar superpowers, and look reasonably alike.
The Cliffs of Insanity!
Which may or may not be attached to the Mountains of Madness
the Pit of Despair!
YES! Somebody gets it!
Rodents of unusual size? I don’t think they exist. Oh hi Artie!
The Room fits perfectly into this mundane beachside hellscape…
Artie’s rodent shape is pretty usual-sized, though.
She didn’t mention “south.” The Ocean of Doom?
That goes without saying, so be very quiet.
you’re hunting wabbits
Kill the wabbit!
Going south you encounter Doom Kitty.
And to the northwest, the local professional sports facility, the DOOMdome!
You know nothing of Delaware’s geography, do you?
Metropolis is on the coast there, right?
I was wondering, does the simulator not even care anymore?
Possibly more realistic scenario (I don’t know much about the geography of Delaware myself, but I can at least make a few guesses):
========================
What happens if I walk due east?
That way lies the ocean of DOOM! The Atlantic, that is.
What about north?
The inlet of DOOM!
And south? Another inlet?
The estuary of DOOM!
West?
The toll bridge of DOOM! They only accept skee-ball tickets, and they charge ten times as many as the bus.
There is a Murderkill River and a Slaughter Beach
Delaware doesn’t have palm trees.
I was gonna say that before, but apparently there are some cold-hardy imported ones in gardens. The cliffs of doom, though, those are real. Me and my friends looked down when I was a kid, it took ten seconds to see the bottom. One of them slipped over the edge, and it’s gonna hurt when he hits the ground.
Also, it must have been hard to resist not drawing the two palm trees as pink and coral. (It’s a thing from Figgs and Phantoms.)
All of a sudden I start wanting to walk North! ^_^
Another point about the glasses/eyes thing:
Even when Dave’s glasses were opaque in Narbonic, his eyes were visible when viewed from the side.
Here, for all the characters, when viewed from the side, the glasses seem to just meld with the face. Creepy.
Don’t even have to go as far as Narbonic for this. We can see Ginny’s eyes from the side.
We can also see Ginny’s eyes from the front, though.
It’s a _really_ large seashell and saltwater taffy store. So far none of the expeditions sent out in search of the dried starfish and sand dollar department have returned.
So that answers my question. I guess.
Or… take a rocket to Planet DOOM
Is it just me, or would anyone else be up for a remake of The Prisoner, as written by Shaenon and Jeff?
Couldn’t have Patrick McHoohan in the lead, though. Who might do… who might do?
Christopher Walken
What’s wrong with Patrick McGoohan? Oh, I see. Yeah, I don’t know if Shaenon and Jeff have tried writing for actors who’ve been cremated. Maybe Leslie Nielsen?

Ye find yeself in yon dungeon. Ye see a SCROLL. Behind ye scroll is a FLASK. Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH and DENNIS.
If you run across the Temple of Doom, Dr. Lee, say hello to Indiana Jones.
That’s the Shriner Temple of Doom, thank you very much.

I’m pretty sure if you walk far enough East in Delaware you’ll no longer be in Delaware real quick.
