Hmm. Odd simile to use, equating (presumably) premarital sex with criminal activity, but okay ....

Hey, yeah, why not?! That's a great idea! I'm sure that'll work! After all, look what it's done for your fat ass.

Well, given the previous post, I think he was being sarcastic. Still not a great deal of thought involved, though.

Weird that he's suddenly making social commentary. Easy target though; what next, TV evangelists? Octomom? Those darn gas prices? And kids these days?

Better than regaling us with Tales from the Bathroom, though. *Shudder*

I figure he has bought stock in all the audio-book companies and wants people to switch to "reading books" that way.

After all, that's the medium where an oral storyteller like him really shines.

At least a knob or two.

cant we have Ron Moore from BSG just come and kick the living crap out of KJA for saying anything about BSG. Then he could twit from hospital:)

Speaking of twitter( dont use Facebook and myspace are enough for me) Steven Colbert was on the Today show being interviewed by Merideth and she asked if he was caught up in the Twitter craze? His response, and I quote:

" yes merideth I have Twatted"

About fell off the couch laughing.

I see absolutely no point in it at all.

Who wants people to be able to know what they're doing so ... immediately that much? (Besides egomaniacs, as you say.)

More importantly, who wants to know that much?

A culture of idiots.

Mammoth army attacks the mines. Mer-people take over a sailing ship. Just another day in the Terra Incognita universe. Almost to the finale.
about 13 hours ago from web

Just another Twitter Twit from a Hack.

Do you see what's especially stupid about this one?

OK ... the dipshit is currently "working" on his second Terrah Incontinent book. The first one still won't come out for another three months.

NO ONE has any fucking idea where or what "the mines" are. (Unless he mentioned it in the background posts for the CD shit.) Gah.

And an army of ... mammoths?!

(That one's for Redstar.

)

But mer-people taking over a ship? OK, I guess these are the magical variety of mer-people who can transform at will between scaly fishbutts and hairy human butts with legs? Yeah ... that's the ticket. Otherwise there's gonna be a whole lotta slimy floppin' about goin' on!

Remember ... he shits this stuff out so his head don't explode!

It seems like he's trying to reference his work as Neil Gaiman does on his blog (which is actually a blog) occasionally. kja just looks like a stupid little kid when he does it.

Its time for another episode of Deconstruct KJA's Idiocy.

Today's Subject: Mammoth Army Attacks Mines.

How big are these mines? Do you mean Mammoth as in huge or Mammoth as in:

Why do the mammoth's have an army? Why do Mammoths want the mines? Are they mad because they can't fit in the mines? Or that the only Mammoths you find in caves happen to be dead and fused with rock and/or Ice?

And if you just mean large army, why use a large army to take over mines? Did you read that cool scene in Dune where they use artillery to close the caverns and trap everyone inside, and don't have to fight? No? Good, I'd hate it if you started stealing from Dune.

Swear to God, my first thought was "I thought this was a book about sea monsters? Where do mammoths fit in?"

Keith's never let the actual order of the words — or their meanings — get in the way, though. Slows down the hiking/dictation/transcription/check-cashing process and all that.

guild navigator · Post by **guild navigator** » 25 Mar 2009 17:23

I think it probably means big. If it really is an army of mastodons, well...

SandChigger · Post by **SandChigger** » 25 Mar 2009 17:51

Why it's doubly funny to me:

(1) The (sentence) context allows "mammoth" to be taken as a noun modifying a noun (mammoth army = army of mammoths); and

(2) "Mammoth" has 7 letters and every letter counts on Twitter.

about 7 hours ago from web

OK. Yesterday it was a land battle over mines (but not land mines!) and today he's back at sea. Typical KJA roller coaster chapter progression.

Or is it?

Actually, I think this one's a coded message to KJA health watchers!

The water conflict reference obviously means he's still having "plumbing" problems. The last means he's still stiff from last night's Viagra and experiencing cloudy urine and burning discharges from that bladder infection.

At times I thought it was an army of mammoths attacking landmines, only to die in small explosions. His wording could really be better.

LOL! Perhaps he meant to say "Mammoth-sized Army", you know, like "Mammoth-sized Hack"

Yawn. And doubtless not nearly enough explanation about *why* these different armies/factions/whatever might be fighting. Other than that they're *enemies*, of course.

Duh, you only need 2 sides, maybe 3. Good Guys, Bad Guys, and Guys who might be bad or good, and take a side at the last minute, kicking ass and winning the fight in less space than it took me to write this.

Why are the seas fighting? Isn't a Big Sea called an Ocean? Why would the sea's have cannons? and if they do, wouldn't they be made of coral and fire giant crabs, which, while being cooler than usual for KJA, would also be pointless, as crabs don't really damage something as big as a Sea?

I must say, I'm rather shocked that there has yet to be even a hint at what super-weapon will be featured in Terrible Incognition.

Oh yeah, I forgot, it's Rock Music.

Reality show. Whether they compete in some ridiculous competition, redecorate someone's house, or stay cooped up together in the same house for months at a time, you *know* it would be a ratings smash.
