Hi, Norm!

Yay!

>Chronicles.
Now, Norm, this forum is for telling me I suck, not my coauthors suck!
>I mean, seriously, your work is stellar
Yes, it does resemble a massive flaming ball of gas, doesn't it?
>compared with the dribble that dolt creates. I
>seriously doubt that he's capable of writing
>instructions for a rock
I wasn't aware rocks came with instructions these days. Probably just so that Mother Nature can avoid a lawsuit...
>no less meet the high level of

...yet never seem to live up to. *sigh* It's true what they say, there's nothing more depressing than knowing you have a great potential.

Actually, I think all the UH stuff should come with head trauma warnings. Apollo read 55 episodes of "Christopher Ford" in one sitting, and last I heard he thought he was Yuri Gagarin.

Oh my God, you're right! I could get a guaranteed feature in the Episodic for life!

Ah, but Norm, I like to encourage the youngsters. If the "Greyhound" is as bad as you say, it could use a shot of superior writing, no?
In all seriousness, Norm, I'm sorry you don't like TGC and think this Crossing Over is a bad move. The truth is, I like TGC a lot, and I think Technoatheist is one of the funniest amateur writers I've encountered, both on Usenet and his UH stuff, which is why I wanted to do this cross-over.
One of the things I like about the Grayhound is that it looks at the same idea that TFoHG does, but from a very different angle. And I think it'll be interesting to see how those two points of view collide.
Anyway, if you don't like the story, I'm sorry to hear it, but the fun and frivolity will continue after the cross-over, uh, crosses over, so don't stay away. Hey, give the cross-over a whirl anyway, you may be surprised.
And I appreciate the input, even negative input.
JIM, hey, it was nice of TA to let you use his computer, even if you don't like his writing
