TPBM thinks Freckles should do it.
"Of course! Why ever not?

TPBM owns Narnia related merchandise --or objects (but books don't count)-- of some sort."

My husband and I bought the octagonal chess board used as a prop in one of the Chronicles movies for our anniversary a couple years ago...

The Person Below Me has eaten non-breakfast food for breakfast this past week (what did you have?).
 
I don't really eat breakfast at all. It's quite possible that I may have snuck a piece of candy from my kid's 4th of July parade haul, though... ;)

TPBM likes to run.
 
Indeed! In fact, a good SERIES. Novelist Eric Flint, with some co-authors, is turning out a HUGE series of parallel-history sci-fi novels. Collectively the series is titled "The Ring of Fire."

The premise is that several thousand modern Americans are transported back in time, WITH many of their possessions, to Europe around the years when "The Three Musketeers" took place. As in Marvel Comics movies, this causes an EXTRA timeline to be created, in which the Americans begin teaching their knowledge to 17th-century people.

Sometimes the author talks as if the original Earth CEASED TO EXIST in the year 1631; but that would be impossible, because it would mean those Americans never were born, and therefore COULD NOT HAVE BEEN transported to the past in the first place. Indeed, Mr. Flint EXPLAINED the time-shift in the first volume, and specifically showed the original Earth CONTINUING to exist. I call it a slight sloppiness when, in the later volumes, he says things like "--which now never would happen."


Here's a sure bet:

The person below me is younger than I am.
 
I like snow because I like snowshoe hiking... but not for shoveling sidewalks or excavating cars.

The person below me has played a musical instrument this week.
 
Not every morning, but often. Still fighting the high blood pressure.

The person below me wonders whether "below" has any meaning in cyberspace.
 
Hmmm, since I never got past year one of law school in 1974, I guess you could say I'm a grade behind you after the fact.

The person below me lives in a place where the weather suddenly changed within the last three days.
 
As a matter of fact, I have done this a few times; and at least once, I specifically sang the SONG "Singing in the Rain."

The person below me has only just visited this thread for the first time, or else is returning to it after a long absence.

If Wood Nymph, whose guardian I am in real life, were following this thread, she could tell you that she at least IS FAMILIAR with "Enter Sandman."

The next person to look here who ISN'T Shasta or me, is fond of cheese popcorn.
