Bad Astronomer and Zompist at Tanagra

[Vanion]

One moment please.

[Vanion]

I’m posting a few of my threads on two boards to double my pleasure—or better put, double the intelligent input.

8) :lol: 8)

But first introductions:

Bad Astronomers, please meet the folks of Virtual Venduria: they’re into “Conlangs” and “Conworlds” (Constructed worlds and languages).

Virtual Vendurians, meet the folks at Bad Astronomy—I find the title to be quite the antonym. If you’re fed up with junk science and junk astronomy like that Fox TV bit about the Apollo mission, well the Bad Astronomer’s a shot of good Dr. Bones McCoy medicine.

As for my problem: check out the links:

Eyes rolled at keyboard. My mind closed with mouth wide.

Perhaps a brief overview of what your issue is so we don't have to chase through several links to discover the topic.

Then Lee and Grant at Appomatox. The chicken salad sandwich with the salad held.

Should I be worried that I instantly got the Star Trek Next Gen references?

Yes. Yes I should. ](*,)

Tempak, his eyes wide

Shaka. When the walls fell...

(Temba. His arms wide. Uzani. His army at Lashmir. His army. With fists open. His army. With fists closed.)

Yes. Yes I should. ](*,)

I got it too. Indeed when I read the subject title the question that came to mind was: is there really someplace called Tanagra since that sounds like that place that Darmok and Jalad where at?

[Two minutes pass]

Should I be worried that I spelled Jalad correctly?

Yes. Yes I should. ](*,)

I was worried 'cause I couldn't remember who or what a Zompist was :-?
