Ask a Telmarine!

[Sopespian]

Should I stop being hopelessly pathetic and go clean the house?

Is there a tactful way to bug five different people who have a tendency to not respond when I contact them?

Yes. It looks filthy.

Probably, but I'm not good at tact.

Why do people write stories without researching the historical background of the time period?

I don't know! That's tragic!

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Do you reckon the people in my creative writing class have a basic knowledge of World War One? Because if they don't, my story will confuse them.

Well, you would kinda hope so... Try not to be too confusing, TSI. I know it's hard for you.

 

[GondorGirl]

What else should I put on my Christmasy cakes besides wreaths?

Will I survive the dress rehearsal tonight?

More accurately, will Nadia survive the dress rehearsal tonight?

 

[Glenburne]

How do Telmarines drink their coffee? (Narnians are good and decent people, so they have it normally--that is, black.)

Toodles is writing a paper on the ethical implications of pouring boiling water on a squid. Would you mind reading it and filling out his comments sheet?

 

[Zella]

How does one prevent one's name being distorted?

One does not show one's friends lists of hilarious variations of one's name.

Do you like formal dinners?

How should I do my hair for the banquet Saturday?

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Do you reckon my class knows about the Christmas truce of 1914? 'Cause if they don't, then my story is going to seem really unrealistic.

More accurately, will Nadia survive the dress rehearsal tonight?

Snickers bars.

Yes.

Probably.

Telmarines don't drink coffee. We drink tea. And we drink our tea strong and sugary.

Sure; where can I find it?

Do you like formal dinners?

How should I do my hair for the banquet Saturday?

A little.

Down, not up. At least, if you want young men to like it, that is. We usually prefer your hair down.

Do you reckon my class knows about the Christmas truce of 1914? 'Cause if they don't, then my story is going to seem really unrealistic.

Probably no more than I do. Which is nothing.

 

[GondorGirl]

Does beef jerky count as a meal?

 

[Sopespian]

Does beef jerky count as a meal?

Yes, it does.

 

[Zella]

Am I getting a cold?

If I am, will denying it make it go away?

Yes.

No.

 

[Lossëndil]

What would happen if I called you sweetie?

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Probably no more than I do. Which is nothing.

Christmas of 1914 (the first year of WW1), troops on the Western Front (who lived and fought in trenches) paused in their fighting from Christmas eve until after new year's. They met in no man's land (the wasteland between opposing trenches) to talk and exchange gifts with the men they'd been shooting at all year. After, some went back to fighting as usual, but others couldn't bare to shoot at men they'd just made friends with, and so were transported to other areas on the front.

It's a pretty awesome history story that really should get more publicity.

Aren't you glad you know?

 

[GondorGirl]

Is that cat nuzzling my dog?

Is that cat nuzzling me and my dog at the same time?

How can I get that cat to stop pulling my hair?

 

[Zella]

Will I be able to actually sleep if I try to take a nap?

 

[Sopespian]

What would happen if I called you sweetie?

You would be donated to GG. Any other questions?

Wow. Yes, I am. Thank you for sharing.

Yes.

Yes.

Take it to Obi. She probably knows that stuff.

Will I be able to actually sleep if I try to take a nap?

Yes.

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Do you suppose I should give some historical background then before I have to read my story in class?

 

[Sopespian]

Probably...

 

[Aravis Kenobi]

Take it to Obi. She probably knows that stuff.

Um....well. Maybe try not using your hair as a toy?

Seriously: try blowing in her face when she does that, or tap her on the nose just hard enough to get her attention. Sometimes it works for kittens when they won't quit biting.
