Title: How Odd (cod)
Post by: bilbous on February 28, 2011, 01:30:57 am

 This sounds like something I might have thought up!  (http://www.boingboing.net/2011/02/23/order-of-odd-fish-a.html)

Is there a James Kennedy around here somewhere?

Pure coincidence I'm sure

 was this  (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=34455.msg396599#msg396599) what I was referring to?

anyway back to my lurkanistic ontological meditations, too bad my vid card don't do 3d anymore....

I'm fine.  Neko, thanks for  asking, and you?

Did anyone even look at the linked blog-post?
Anyway I know its been a while since I was around but surely there was some similarity between the names of my crackpot organization and the crackpot organization in the book.
My group of crack-pots: "order of the odd cod" book's group of crackpots: "order of the odd fish"

I just wanted to flatter myself that I had inspired some author's creative juices, so to speak.

I suppose I could have read the "young adult" novel to see if there was anything more to the coincidence but I am not yet close to my second childhood and my first one is long gone.

On a side note I am glad to see some old bugs getting closed, I just wish I could get in to report more.

Yes, and an odd cod of a coincidence it appeared to be!

Well looking at the blog again they were an order of knights but they lived inside a big fish for some period of time so while they may not have been crackpots as in my group they were definitely weird.

Might be a good book to read, I like weird stuff like that.

We shall expect a full review on Jekkar's thread (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=39217.0;topicseen).

unlikely to be coming from me, the linked amazon page (from the blog) had a review on it that looked kind of bad.


Oh and neko I was never very far away, I just didn't feel I had too much to contribute since my characters have been delving the lower levels and not seen on the dome.
