The Pooh Pit

[poohcarrot]

It's gone!
Where did it go Pinflod?

"Lard! Melts in your mouth, not in your hands."

 

[Penfold]

I realised after I posted that my sense of humour hadn't quite woken up and caught up with the rest of my body. I thought you were mistaken and being serious using "Lard" instead of certain chocolate brands and only realized my mistake after I had hit the submit button.

I know those Kindle jobbies are the spawn of satan, but I'm interested in how they work. :think:
(Don't worry Pip, I have no intention of ever buying one. :dance: )

There must be a search function. Can you input a word or a phrase and it tells you what page number it's on?

If so, can somebody look up in Long Earth the words "rabbit hole" for me, please. I've read it twice and I'm pretty sure I saw it but can't remember where.

I have an absolutely stonky Long Earth theory brewing which could make the Da Vinci Code seem like the Sun crossword.

 

[pip]

Are you going down the Alice in Wonderland route with the whole math thingy

 

[poohcarrot]

I think TP and SB were trying to say something, but couldn't.
So instead they left a code.
I stumbled on a completely bizarre coincidence, which gave me a number, which when transposed back to Long Earth led to an even bizarrerer anagram which is bordering on the spooky (if it wasn't meant).

If the words "rabbit hole" appear, then I'm cooking with charcoal.

 

[poohcarrot]

...I'm on to page 169 with my third read and know what I'm looking for, so maybe I'll find it myself, and then damn Kindle and all Kindle owners to eternal damnation for not helping me search. :twisted:

Uh oh. Pooh's going tinfoil hat again. Sending some Tea Party bumper stickers your way to distract you.

You should get a Kindle and search yourself Pooh, as I have the hardback I won't be downloading it to my Kindle,may get it as an audbile Book though.

I don't do hardbacks, only UK proofs (and US proofs to read)
Whether or not I've got a double signed UK proof of Long Earth is something I'm not prepared to talk about.

As for getting a Kindle? There's absolutely no chance! :dance:

I have no desire to flaunt my pseudo-techno savi-nesss, or my wealth, on what I regard as the "Filofax" of the twen-teens. :dance:

But if anyone wants to spend their life getting more and more dependent on machines, good luck to 'em. That's their choice. :dance:

(I took my family to watch fireflies tonight - bet you can't get that on a Kindle. :dance: )

I'm sure even you have noticed, J-I*b, that TP tends to pick names for a reason eg; Goodmountain (Guttenberg) in The Truth.
No doubt you've already explored that particular avenue with Long Earth characters, haven't you? :ugeek:

 

[poohcarrot]

Yippee! Found the quote! :dance:

 

[michelanCello]

Found this for you, Pooh: the official Olimpics song

 

[poohcarrot]

Cheers mC. :dance:

I stumbled across that yesterday and had a listen. I was going to post it later today for you.

Well, what a coincidence

 

[poohcarrot]

It's a bit pants, if you ask me - sounds like a Queen rip-off. :ugeek:

 

[michelanCello]

It did remind me a lot of Queen, too, but it's still Muse and it's still better then the Euro Cup noise we had this year

 

[poohcarrot]

True! :dance:

But if I drink ten pints of beer then throw up into the toilet, it'd be a better sound than that Euro song.

 

[pip]

Ten Pints. You light weight

 

[poohcarrot]

I believe the idea of drinking is to get drunk. If I can do that as cheaply as possible I'm happy. :dance:

What's the point in drinking 15 pints and staying sober?

So why drink beer then . Get the drain cleaner from under the sink , or a bottle of methylated spirits
