Footnotes*

[=Tamar]

Wintersmith?

 

[MrsWizzard]

Indeed it is! Probably the hardest I've laughed at one of PTerry's footnotes.

It's all yours, Tamar!

 

[RathDarkblade]

Just out of curiosity - when does that footnote happen, MrsWizzard? I'm curious.

 

[=Tamar]

The question seldom addressed is where Medusa had snakes. Underarm hair is an even more embarrassing problem when it keeps biting the top of the deodorant bottle.

 

[MrsWizzard]

Just out of curiosity - when does that footnote happen, MrsWizzard? I'm curious.

Remember when the Cornucopia was spouting chickens and they were going "Werk" every other word? He mentions a chicken later in the book and that was the footnote.

Ugh, now I'm in Rath's position. I'm pretty sure I know this one, but I want to give someone else a chance to answer.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nothing wrong with being charitable, MrsWizzard.

Soul Music?

 

[=Tamar]

You got it, RathDarkblade! Your turn now.

 

[RathDarkblade]

I did?? *faints*

All right... let me look up something suitably ~~~EVIL~~~. *twirls his moustaches menacingly and adjusts his turban* Mwa ha ha. :twisted:

* i.e. the one that lost.

Guess away! :twisted:

 

[RathDarkblade]

Any guesses yet, hmm?

 

[MrsWizzard]

Something about choosing sides, so I'll guess....

Monstrous Regiment?

 

[RathDarkblade]

Hmm... no, not MR.

Clue: the bit about picking sides does not actually happen in this book, but in the book that immediately precedes this one.

Another clue (since I think this footnote is way too hard): this footnote happens in a Rincewind book.

No more clues!

 

[MrsWizzard]

Last Continent?

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nope, not TLC. Guess again.

 

[=Tamar]

Eric?

 

[RathDarkblade]

=Tamar has it!

Yep, this one happens when a footnote discusses the events of the preceding novel to Eric (i.e. Sourcery), and the wizards realise that they were on the wrong side all along*...

Take it away, Tamar!

 

[=Tamar]

* This is another survival trait.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Hmm-mm.... *thinks* And what was the first survival trait, please?

I'm afraid that nothing springs to mind here... I'm drawing a complete blank.

 

[mirandashell]

* This is another survival trait.

The Last Continent?

 

[=Tamar]

* This is another survival trait.

The Last Continent?

Sorry, no.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Still can't think of anything, Tamar... sorry, but I'm drawing a complete blank. Hint, please?
