My husband insists he never felt as kicked as I felt in the beginning. Now that her aim improves considerably, this changed a bit, and he occasionally feels kicked into everything from the navel down, and the upper parts, too, if she can catch him lying on the couch.

The most telling thing ever to be published from him on the matter can be found here:

Mind you, he's the one with the birthday today

Joculator · 09-11-2008, 22:02

I object to being blamed for having a birthday. What MattKP does in his own time is his business.
Mind you he had a very good teacher on his limited stay up here in the northeast It just goes to show you can't tell these youngsers of today anything useful.

When I saw thet Joc's post was the last one in this thread,

I thought he'd read the instructions a little wrong...

'People new and old, introduce yourselves here'

Oh Joc, we're cruel because we love? you...

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

I wanted something Pratchett related that was vaguely witty. The name plays on my alleged 'campness'.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

there has been quite of lot of confusion over this.

I am male.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

I'm 29, and I live in Leicestershire, England.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)

It could. I'm happy with the job SKY are doing so far, tbh.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

The cover art tempted me. I asked santa for the 5th Elephant Hard Back the year it was out. By the following xmas I'd read all the discworld books.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

I'm hungry.

A warm welcome to the 'Rubber Room' of your own imagination...

Please be gentle - I'm still recovering!

Here's the important info:
1. It's my name - my mother chose it.
2. Male
3. I'm 28 - does that mean I'm middle aged? Birmingham, UK
4. Yes - I have the faith
5. It's all about the dark Morris...

HEy Mattkp, mmm impending parenthood! yah for you two! its fab, loss of sleep, being able to call your life your own, nappies, more nappies & all night feeding sessions.... and then they start moving! nothing quite likeit very hard to express to non- parental types. & you get to indoctrinate them to pratchett!! its all good!
cheers wilva

After a lot of cajoling, I finally succumbed to the threats (I don't think)

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
Obviously its the female version of a nearly similar name already here.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
Very much female or my partner is in for a shock.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
I fell into Durham City around the Mesozoic Period.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck?
I think two have already been successfully made - next question please.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Sole responsibility goes to that little known character, Joculator. You may have heard of him.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
Always put off until tomorrow, even if you can do it today.

Joculator · 09-17-2008, 19:11

Well now the confusion starts. Welcome Joculatrix, but didn't I already say that when you got back from work, dear?

Let confusion reign. Those avatars are sooo near identical, hur.. hur.. hur!

Katcal · 09-17-2008, 19:24

Indeed.

Hello Joculatrix,

Warm greetings, and felicitations!
I am interested to meet the missus behind the mad one.... O.o

Straight jackets to the left, rubber rooms to the right, and all the cuddly monkeys you could ever dream of.

(As you can see, I started on the dried frog pills early today...the hazards of teaching children.)
Yarrg.

1. I didn't want to use my own name so I modified it.
2. Female
3. I'm currently 18 and I live in Germany.
4. After the last two movies I think they will make other good ones, too.
5. My cousin gave me some books to read and I liked them very much.
6. Weekend!!!!!!

Joculator · 09-20-2008, 11:18

Hello July and welcome to the place where the reality of life is often stranger than the fiction.
But, of course you haven't met all of the members yet

Maljonic · 09-20-2008, 12:35

Hello July.
