Ever the innovator of sound effects, T has shown us that even in the most solemn moment Tim is already to astound us all with his utter lack of shame.I'm really glad that Clara took in stride though, or else there'd really be nothing between Tim and a good "KRACK!", "POW" , or "Ka-BAM!"Two more things.
Tim's belly button is so disgusting looking!
Tim's head in frame five has inspired me to do a bit of Fennish artistry.....------------------

I was just going to say that I thought Tim was actually far more aware than almost everyone there...But then, everyone seems to underestimate Tim....------------------

Look at his <a href="http://faans.com/d/20020125.html">*fantasies*</a> about her, for Pete's sake!I betcha if it were about anyone else's imminent demise, he wouldn't be quite so ... cavalier. Rikk may not know people with the sure fire cynicism of Kath or Tim, but there's a fundamental belief, like Alisin said, in the virtue of humanity.He's actually a lot like Corporal Carrot, I think.~f------------------

<IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">and I just finished reading "Men at Arms", too...
Anyways, I agree that Tim probably has the right idea, and I think that everyone else will probably realize that soon. You have to enliven the last days of life if at all possible, IMO

THe trouble with the earlier update time is that everyone else gets to post before I do. I need to start developing some more insomnia.......I agree that Tim is the only one who's really gotten it right. He alone seems to realize that Clara isn't dead yet and that there's no reason to treat her as if she is. Yes, it is a sad moment and yes, there is a time for reflection. There should also be time for friendship and whatever joy Clara and those who care about her can bring eachother.

Not really true (Pratchett sits in 26 volumes next to bed!). Carrot appears simple, while being incredibly complex. At first, he didn't understand his relationship with the werewolf, but that changed. As she she thinks herself many a times, you would have to be incredibly complex to be as simple as Carrot. The Vimes books will probably end with Carrot being on the other side of Vimes (foreshadowed in Jingo.)Rikk, on the other hand, is simple most of the time, except when he gets in a dangerous situation and becomes something more...Actually, come to think of it, especially Rikk's charisma, his ability to lead... he is like Carrot.It's late at night, and rambling becomes automatic.

A smile to the face of a dying woman, very nice indeed, but I'm sure the F.I.B. has a fountain of youth someplace. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> Just out of curiosity is 'Smap' harder of softer than the more traditional and less interesting 'Smack'?

Smap, i think, is a close, but gentler cousin to Fwap. More a playful than irritated sound.Man... Tim redeems himself. Rikk's got something he could learn, there. Don't treat the dying like china dolls, give them real hugs, real, tangible things that can bring them joy. Yeah, they're dying... but they ain't dead yet, durnit!Eri

It will allow you to post earlier and bring out insomnia more. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">(Better yet, work a shift where you have to change your sleep schedule three or more times a week. Those were two hard years...) <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...I agree that Tim is the only one who's really gotten it right. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>"Right" isn't a binary equation here. A visit is right - a visit that doesn't dwell on my condition is better. I speak from experience on that one. (Nothing pisses me off more than a person telling more how awful I look, when it's pretty obvious to me considering just how awful I feel. Even so, company is good - it just needs to be corrected.) <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> He alone seems to realize that Clara isn't dead yet and that there's no reason to treat her as if she is.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>If that was true, I don't think the other Tim would have stopped the others from stopping him. Just because he didn't feel he could do this thing properly didn't mean he felt it wasn't best. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Yes, it is a sad moment and yes, there is a time for reflection. There should also be time for friendship and whatever joy Clara and those who care about her can bring each other. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Always. It's funny how sometimes many of us need a death to remind us of that, as if it's the only thing that forces us to make the time for such things.

Since we're on the subject of Tim's little 'outburst', am I the only one that noticed that he's wearing the <A HREF="http://faans.com/d/20000103.html" TARGET=_blank>exact same shirt</A> as when the two first met?Maybe not mourning the dying, but still keeping them in mind.
