Superlon Mystery: They're coming to shake you away, ha-haa!


Stejar Strahl: I had a really strange dream last night.
There was a nocturnal frog dressed as an angel singing in my brain and telling me I was an advent calendar.
Dr B. Glistens: What did the carol say to you?
Stejar Stahl: Who?
Dr B. Glistens: Oo-hoo, was it singing See My Way?
Stejar Strahl: No, but I feel like a giant eye would stare at me.
Dr B. Glistens: I'm all ears.
Stejar Strahl: In that dream I opened my eyes and all the walls were missing around the diving elves.
Dr B. Glistens: Yet another sick in the hall...
I believe we have to do a full operation here.
Secretary Darleen Sufflé will tell you which grapemobile to take.

Hurrah for the return of Superlon!!

I believe you must be taking the same drugs as me, for this all makes perfect sense.

It is believed that the prologue in this form was practically the invention of Euripides, and with him, as has been said, it takes the place of an explanatory first act. This may help to modify the objection which criticism has often brought against the Greek prologue, as an impertinence, a useless growth prefixed to the play, and standing as a barrier between us and our enjoyment of it. The point precisely is that, to an Athenian audience, it was useful and pertinent, as supplying just what they needed to make the succeeding scenes intelligible. But it is difficult to accept the view that Euripides invented the plan of producing a god out of a machine to justify the action of deity upon man, because it is plain that he himself disliked this interference of the superlonatural and did not believe in it.

Actually, how is this bloke and why is he here?
I have no idea.

Well Dave, thank you. You are the first one commenting, but the grapemobile isn't chosen yet, so shall we compare the drugs bit later?

I've missed this :)

And nice new site. Seems fitting that something as singular as Superlon has a home of its own.

Oh, welcome OPC :)

Hmm, it's more like a small bedsit now and I'm not sure about the paint either, but it's still a new home. Hopefully a block of flats soon.

Ah yes, I was, of course, waiting for refernces to the deus ex machina. Always a bit of a cop-out, I feel.

An announcement by the weather report: Partly sunny, bit blurry, the superlonment is skating over the issue.
