“Find the equation for non-conformity — or else!”
This brings back a childhood trauma… my parents often told me:
“Find the equation for matching your socks — or else!”

“Priiiime! Prime Mov-ah! Baby you’re miiiiine! I’m The Groov-ah!”
So that’s what happened to Zodiac Mindwarp.

“In that planetary game, was he pawn or prime-mover?”
Is this a rhetorical question?

I’m gonna go home and mow my lawn…

I’m thinking hair is a big part of the equation.

Is that Rex Ready on the first cover?

Tom> I believe Rex Ready has family:

And the one time Gary actually goes about spraying some weeds… he gets attacked by a giant monster. There is a lesson there kids!

***“In that planetary game, was he pawn or prime-mover?â€
***Is this a rhetorical question?
No, it’s answered on page 237. Just after the bit where the creature’s three-fingered hands are explained. And the Spartan helmet is accounted for.

First one: ‘hands up all those who want to learn the Asbestos Suit Boogie from me.’
Second: I can’t take my eyes off his unteleported giant yellow right nipple.

Hey, wait a minute!
The title clearly states, “The UNteleported Man”… while the cover just as clearly shows a man being teleported!
Surely this is the first time in history that an SF book cover promises something that doesn’t happen inside the book!

Surely most, if not all, of men alive today are unteleported. I don’t see what’s so special about this one.
April 6th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
Aren’t we all unteleported? Well except for Jeff Goldblum.

LIzard: Greetings! (In Russian)

‘Oi! Put that down! I’m tryin’ ta find the lavs, is all!’
And on the back side:
‘Wouldn’t you know it, first teleportation and they put me nude in front of Harvey and Mitch. Someone get me a mop.’
@Phil: you’ll notice that the reptile has 4 digits on one hand, 3 on the other. And 2 fangs in his lower jaw, 1 in his upper.

Who Moved My Prime? A textbook on reptilian management; this time the littlepeople get eaten if they ask for better conditions.
The Unteleported Man cover looks like the Jazz Cafe circa 1989; shaven-headed blokes in smocks and shades playing Hammonds and various other attempts to pretend it was 1965.

//equation for non-conformity – or else!

for (int i = 0; i < 0; i++)

if (NonConformity == True || ace <= baen)
std::cout << "Failure to conform." << std::endl;

I like the cursor rollover caption, but shouldn’t that be—
“What up Liz! HIGH FOUR! Yeaaahhhhaaaaa!”

I am trying for the second time to post this quite innocuous comment. Last time it went into “awaiting moderation” mode then disappeared. There are mysteries wrapped within riddles inside enigmas galore.
As I said, I like the cursor rollover comment, but shouldn’t it be “What up Liz! HIGH FOUR! Yeaaaaahhhhaaaaa!”?

Nothing seems to be getting through now. Consider this a message in a bottle, maybe a Klein Bottle.
