Default If the rift really is where they think it is...

...then I guess Girard's family really had to buttress his gate.



Thank you! I'll be here all week.

So, you're saying they hid the gate very well, no ifs, ans or buts about it?

Yes, they certainly seem to have taken care to wipe away any mention of it.

If they have, then it'll take some extensive analysis by the OOTS to sniff out the gate's location. And quickly, since the gate is undefended and Xykon might catch them with their pants down.

It would also be ironic that Girard could probably have sat on this secret, but it was given away by those he reared specifically to protect it.

I mean, the OOTS seems to be running out of leads and is really fishing at the bottom of the barrel. I'd maybe give them a number two percent chance of actually finding the gate where ya'll are implying it is. Still, the drama of it all has me really gluet to my seat.

Thanks to this thread, I must say that it appears that Elan had nothing to eulogize in the last panel...

I can't ascertain how that "fixed" anything. I have to ask: do you disagree with my assessment of the thread? And please, don't pull any tricks from your pun arsenal.

I for one am stumped - guess we just to have to wait until Roy can crack this case and get to the bottom of this mystery. Either way, this has been a tail for your posteriority.

Also, I kind of sorry for the kind of crap that the Snarl must have had to put up with.

If this thread ever closed, here's my prediction for what the last post will say:

It is called the Windy Canyon, you know. A joke you wouldn't even see until you look in the rear-view mirror.

I've heard of having an ass that's out of this world, but this is the first one I've heard of that has the world within a world in it. Way to one-up Uranus. I guess you'd have to be some sort of asstronaut to explore that place.

You know, given that they know Xykon is headed to this location next, not to mention the Linear Guild, I'm surprised Roy didn't leave a rear guard to alert them in case of a flanking attack.

The Linear Guild in particular can be quite the pain in the rear. I can't think of any "flanking attack" jokes that wouldn't get this thread closed FAST.
