The Monster Under the Bed
“Embrace your fear.”
Still hoping that Tim puts a bun in both Shadow and Midnight, that way they become a throuple.
The local bakery ran out of buns, so he’ll probably use baguettes.
Like hat idea.
Boom, BOOM Baby!!!
Brandon said of Eclipse,”Oh, she’s a working girl…” which led me to wonder – How is she to be paid?
In Canadian dollars and cents?, Canadian pounds, shillings and pence (CLsd)? or is there a universal +Noxian currency?
Which led to further speculation, Just how widespread is the underground Noxian civilisation?
Is it global under all continents and the oceans and do the various Noxian enclaves each speak the language of their surface human neighbours?
Do Indian Nox use rupees for exchange or barter while Chinese Nox use yuan? Argentinian Nox are still using pesos?
These are vital questions, Brandon, we’re building a whole civilisation of which the Canadian, that we’re looking at, is only a part of the greater whole.
” which led me to wonder – How is she to be paid?”
… Long. Pork!
Non sequitur
“long pig”….
Cannibals’ description of their victims because they (we) taste so similar.
I doubt that Brandon is suggesting that Nox are cannibals, nor that Eclipse is being paid in human meat cuts.
Dunno why. Human flesh doesn’t taste like pork, it tastes like veal.
Now all we need is a nice Chianti
Veal doesn’t HAVE a taste!
It’s too young to have developed any muscle mass.
You really need (IMNSHO) to chooose beef, at least a year old, if you’re after flavour.
The best parts of a vealer are the offal.
You’re misunderstanding the review. He said that it has the *texture* of veal.
{sigh}… If you have to explain it…
Long {cock}m and I guess an 80’s term ‘Pork’ means “To Screw”, “Sex”, “The Dreaded Two-Backed Beast”, “Smash it”!
But that’s Eclipse’s WORK, not her payment.
You missed the point of the question.
No. I didn’t… do you think Eclipse never mixes work with pleasure? Perhaps payment is a the side benefit for her but getting laid is the Hook ~ Cause I get the notion she has some high standards fo rher {ahem}… ‘Clients’!
The point of the question was serious, about establishing the currencie(s) used in Nox.
You made a cheap dick joke.
OK. That’s you.
How about John Wick style currency where a coin doesn’t have a monetary value but represents a given service itself?
The problem in this, or any other barter economy, is to establish equivalent value for services.
How many coins to mow your lawns vs. what’s your washing-up worth (for a family of four [or six])?
I just discovered this comic the other week. I’ve read it through twice, and I’m desperate for updates
