"Bruno, in fact, was very quietly pulling up no trees." I don't know what this means. ^ Dylan with the massive save. And I love Henri's return as the auteur.

2025-07-07 13:40:45 +0000 UTCI've been doing a reread of this book during the break (hope the heat wave broke and you're feeling better!), and it never really sat well with me that Max was directly affecting opposing players with the relationism bonuses. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I like the fact that all of Max's powers bring out the best in his teams as opposed to the worst in the opponents.

2025-06-06 23:19:32 +0000 UTCI think it's pronouncing it aggressively Englishly with a voiced H because : "Henry is the brand name given to a cylinder vacuum cleaner made and sold by Numatic International, and is the only mass-produced consumer vacuum cleaner still made in the United Kingdom." They are rather cute too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_(vacuum)

2025-06-06 21:02:35 +0000 UTCI've tried to figure it out, but cannot quite imagine it. How does one say "Henri" like it's a vaccuum cleaner?

2025-06-06 20:55:47 +0000 UTCI did a super quick research on that line and found that Norgay wrote in his autobiography that Edders went first. If he deliberately never told anyone in order to share the credit properly, yeah that's top.
