... the close friend/spouse/lover ... has to go back to what those references meant when the victim was alive and they were together.

...If you did that right, you wouldn’t half need to blow anything up. Until the movie, of course.

If this was a fairer universe, Scholars would have been a Hollywood blockbuster, and Tom Clancy would still be selling insurance.

"Scholars of Night is a book where...... the close friend/spouse/lover ... has to go back to what those references meant when the victim was alive and they were together."

Now that I know there is such a book, I will go and acquire it posthaste. When I read that quote, I thought "Oh, I hope he wrote it." And it turns out yes, he did.

All of these rememberings are so wonderful.

I'm sure there is still a part seven and eight pending.

Once all these "collected wisdoms" are received, is there any chance of:
A) "snaking" them together, with a link to part II at the end of Part I, and
B) a permanent or semi-permanent link to all of them, maybe through the "Globally useful" links?

Such glorious wit, now lost to us.

Would it be inappropriate to disseminate that quote, provided Mike is shown to be its author? (If not, I apologize most profusely and will slink away into the darkness until the wounds heal.)

"We're not lost. We're locationally challenged."

And then there’s Lord of the G-Strings, in which the sex is numbingly dull (and inexplicit, at least in the late-night-cable cut) and the stuff in between is reasonably funny. There is in fact a scene in which the people who have arrived for a Titanic Battle Between Good and Evil have to wait around with increasing impatience while two elf-maidens finish going at it, which might be an internal critiquey sorta thing.

Watching that sort of thing with Mike and hearing his commentary was priceless. I remember that occasion. Vividly. So I for one am grateful for the side effect of the spammage just now.
