(Technically, they’re called “quotations,” not “quotes.”) By request of Jadestone. Fire away.

After the Great Pie War came the rebuilding of Civilization. Now, while landlubbers compose the Chronicles of Museica, a few hardy sea dogs are preparing to sail for unknown territory. They were just getting under way at the end of the Rebuilding Civilization thread. This is their story, if they care or dare to tell it.

Thread closed to posting; continued on Part 2.

After the devastation of the Great Pie War, the survivors labored to rebuild civilization. Now the saga continues.

(Where were we? Something about pie-rates…)

NOTE: The saga continues to continue in Part the Second.

What do you love or hate about computer games? Or just wonder? Here’s a virtual place for a virtual chat about that. (Because Batman suggested a discussion about Roller Coaster Tycoon and Purple Panda proposed a general discussion about computer games.)

Suppose the present Muses retire. What would the new Muses be like? Or suppose the present Muses don’t retire, but new Muses show up in their neck of the universe anyway. What would happen then?

Thanks to Captain Cynomys/Prarilius Canix for the idea for this thread.

Have something to say about a movie? Rants, raves and more nuanced responses are welcome. Only please post a “Spoiler Warning” if you’ll be giving away the ending or major twists in the plot.

Otzi suggested that we revive this thread about your memorable acts of wanton lunacy. Good idea! If we know Musers, summertime should provide plenty of material. For inspiration, you may consult the original thread.

If any of you Virginians have been thinking about nagging your parents into getting PWT PWNS personalized license plates for the family car, I have bad news: you can’t. Because I just did.

…as a random thread in June?

Continued from Part 2.

It will take some doing after the latest Pie War. Whew, what a doozy! Such a sad waste of carbohydrates. The calorie count alone was staggering. Now, a new chapter begins…

Continued from Part 1.

Continued from Part 4, which was getting too long.

* Pie shells, of course.

The title of this month’s random thread comes from a famous but unfashionably florid poem by the 19th-century American poet James Russell Lowell. It starts like this:

And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers…

An invisibility cloak isn’t necessarily just the stuff of Harry Potter stories. In last week’s Science magazine (where Robert works), theoretical physicists explain how to make invisible cloaks and whatnot — theoretically, at least. You can learn more about invisibility on Professor Ulf Leonhardt’s home page or his page on invisibility.

So, what would you do if you were invisible?

In which MuseBloggers describe where they’ve lived in the past, present or future. (Because Darth Yoda asked.) Remember, though, no names of cities or towns you currently live in. We want MuseBloggers’ identities to remain mysterious. Gigantic cities like Chicago and New York are OK too. If it’s got more than a quarter million people living there, you can give the name.

And still going strong.

And on to June!

Things are getting too quiet around here. It’s time.
