@Bibliomancer—it’s all made worse by the fact that their clothing doesn’t breathe either. This contributes to their quiet evening anger when it is hard to concentrate on their prayers. It’s a classic example of Angry Espers Polyesters Vespers Whispers.
@B. Chiclitz – Thank you. If you didn’t bring in Sarnath already, I would have to do it.
With the closed eyes and the floating necklace on the guy in the foreground, it kind of looks like he fell asleep in zero gee…just starting to drift off in both senses of the word.
*sigh* Such a depressingly lacklustre effort, in all areas. Drearily literal too, I suspect. I can only yearn for the inevitable Baen re-issue (edited by Eric Flint)-

Crowds for the 2258 Thanksgiving Day Parade were underwhelming.

After reading B’mancer’s comment, I misread the blurb as, ‘Those Mind Readers Hated Urine.’

Fuck esp, lets go bowling.

@Ray P – Bad idea. The Angry Espers always roll a perfect game. They never leave a pin standing.

@Bibliomancer—it’s hard to pee straight in zero gravity. That accounts for the wall color at least.

The Angry Espers are most angry in the evening, when they are at Angry Espers Vespers.
March 10th, 2016 at 1:21 pm
They hated Earthmen… but they loved the Earthlaydeez.

Doubled with this winner.

They hate us for our impeccable fashion sense.
March 10th, 2016 at 2:22 pm
@B. Chiclitz – Yes! But they do it quietly. More like Angry Espers Vespers Whispers.
March 10th, 2016 at 2:48 pm
Does an angry Esper start ranting? If so, in what language?
(three… two… one…)
Esperanto.
I’ll get me coat.

@B. Chiclitz – Not only that but when they do whisper you notice their speech impediments. The Angry Espers Polyesters Vespers Lispers Whispers.
March 10th, 2016 at 7:21 pm
Then their clothing turns rank and you can really smell it when the wind starts blowing from a certain direction.

@B’mancer, @Tom Noir—there’s only one place left to go, Good Sirs. It’s time for
THE ESPERS THAT CAME TO SARNATH!
March 10th, 2016 at 8:08 pm
I’m no mind-reader, but these guys don’t seem all that mad. Alternate title?
THE SLIGHTLY MIFFED ESPERS

“These Mind-Readers Hated Cthulhu!”

Use the unique powers of the Angry Espers to destroy the greedy pigs’ defences!

BIG BROTHER IS FLOATING
March 11th, 2016 at 12:05 am
The mind Biggles.
March 11th, 2016 at 1:32 am
The Mind-Readers hated Earthmen, doing the same job every day at work, disco, and clean shaven surfaces.
THE ANGRY HIPSTERS
…
That is all.
…
FINE! THE ANGRY HIPSTERS’ ESPER POLYESTER TESTER THAT FESTERED WESTWARD TO SARNATH AS VIPER VESPER LISPERS WHISPERED ‘ALFRED BESTER’ IN ESPERANTO.
…I need a vacation…
