Welcome to the best web site there is Anne. Thank God i'm not the only Lumlian in Bonny Scotland,

Welcome on board and happy surfing

Skint's you're fine, honest! Do you realize that the whole reason I read Necroscope was because of two scenes in the opening of the first book. The one with Boris ripping that body to shreds and Harry spying on his teachers. That's all it took for me to decide to go on and of course I found it wonderful...

And even though this isn't the right place to do it, yes Anne welcome among us. You should go to the gate then you'll get a proper welcoming from everyone, or not everyone but more than you'll get in here. Techincally speaking, when we don't go off on side tangent converstaions, this is more or less necroscope trivia. And anyone who knows the anwer is welcome to give answering a go. And yes, have fun.

that would be his name skinters

ok

 

when reading the source, i noticed that brian had used a certain phrase 3 times, and to me it stuck out a mile, and i had to double check past pages that i had read to make sure that the phrase was indeed used to describe certain acts in the book.

a clue to the answer can be found with 1 of brians hobbies,and think the phrase was inspired by it.......what was the phrase ?

me and the wife are out for a few drinks tonight so ill stumble back in have a quick look in here and if theres no answer ill give out an easy clue so whoever reads the clue first gets it ....well thas the type of guy i am

looks like every1ns all 2 excited by getting they books shirts and caps uh ?

Or we're lost. You mentioned a hint Skints, I think we may need it.

ok dont know how many have had a crack at my question but as promised heres the easy clue if you have source check pages 20 , 85 for the answer ....was thinking my question was a lil on the silly side but when you find the answer check out the about page on this site to do with brians hobbies and youll realise what i was trying to do ........and how in fact this question i soooo bloody brilliant ha haaaaaaa ...........well i thought so

by the way i did say the phrase was used 3 times and i know it is 3 jus couldnt find it somewhere at the end of source .......promise

 

ok found the third time the phrase was used so its on page 20, 85, 332..........now this is way 2 easy

i didnt intend for this question to be an awkward stumper jus someting ive i wondered did any1 else notice it while reading source

"Flopped about like a speared fish" is hopefully what you are after

thank you thank you thank you

 

i thought my question was gonna be dragged into starside and left for tha trogs to p**s on

 

i know now that i was a bit ambitious with the original question and wish i had put it another way, coz i think its a lil intresting how brian used the phrase , and was surelly inspired by his hobby of spear fishing,and found it unusuall it being used as frequent as it was ....also finding it intresting that he chose greece to introduce jianni lazarides AKA janos ferenczy as its more or less his second home .

 

anyways DC on to you fella ya deserve ya Newcastle Brown Ale

What secret thing do thyre siblings do when parted?

Don't they cut off a lock of hair and give it to the other one to keep?

Yeah, pubic hair!

ha haaaa no shit ,serious ....i mean not saying jades answers not correct but didnt know a lock of pubic hair qualified,in the sense it usually comes from the head

 

[ March 02, 2005, 10:24 AM: Message edited by: skinters ]

The correct answer is a locket with a lock of pubic hair.

 

I am going to let Jade Rose have the question as her answer was close enough.

Janos Ferenczy's wish is to rise up from the ashes of his undeath and be living again. What are the characteristics that must be met of a being in order that he may again have possession of life(or rather undeath as it were in his case)?

I'm not sure I understand your question Jade???

 

Do you mean that the person he has to inhabit has to be blood of his blood and that he would no that they were flesh of his flesh by the obvious mutation in his hands???

 

And that he would have to lure them into a trap which would trigger the ashes in his urn through blood, to form back into the leach and enter his victim???

 

And that his victim was George Vulupe a decendent of Janos

thas what i was thinking when i first saw the question .....but think knowing jade she has something more devious in mind

Now, I thought it was a good question. Am I really that BAD with my question's Skints. Honestly, I'm trying to give out good questions, and sometimes I think it's stuff that's absolutely basic yet you all complain. As to a devious mind, I have two younger brothers and for years was the only girl in a group of guys. I had to learn to defend myself somehow... and what's wrong with having a good mind anyway! I'm kind of a writer so I'm laying the blame down there. Ha!

And yes Helm, you've got it. You gave more than I asked for even! I wasn't looking for the leech resurection, though I guess that's what it was. AHH... MUST reread soon(as soon as I finish thesis reading that is!) and that it was Vulpe. I searched over the book trying to find him. Grr. So, since you got the hand disfiguration and the descendent and that his blood was needed and that's what I was looking for, you've got it. Hey, with bonus points!

naaaa wot makes you think i was implying your question was bad , ;)no1 complaining here ,look at the confusion my last question created and it is indeed hard to find a good 1 for me i was jus thinking along the same lines as helm,not the not understanding the question part just the answer he gave . but at the same time thought it cant be that ..coz the funny thing is ive only jus read that part of janos coming alive again or as you put undead

Ahhh, okay. It's actually been awhile since I've read the books. I read Necrosocpe not to long ago but then we got this confounded stupid senior thesis bullcrap that's so seriously kicking my butt right now. Of course I can't resist my computer when my brother steals my room so thusly I end up in his room which has the computer and I get distracted... like now. And okay, if you say my questions aren't bad. As to your last one, it would have been okay if your hint helped me. BUT there was NOTHING the same between those two pages, so I figure you must not be using Tor books like I am...

well considering you aint read the books for so long you have a sharp memory there ,and as for my question having nothing the same between the clues of the pages i gave ,if you have a copy of source you will see there is a certain phrase used ,which was "flopped about like a speared fish" albiet it wasnt used word for word each time and was answered by DC ,which you can find on pages 20, 85, and 332

 

The reason why that un stood out as a question from me is that it ties in with brians hobby of spear fishing which can be found on the about page on the site, and think he quite like the phrase

 

as for not using Tor books . do you refer to the publisher tom doherty ,who did the U.S versions and if the phrase "flopped like a speared fish was left out or replaced,thas quite interesting

 

yo jade that confounded bullshit thesis your on ,they do say a change is as good as a rest dont let em get the better of you .....peace

 

[ March 04, 2005, 01:36 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

I couldn't find anything about that on pgs.20, 85, & 332 of the US novels.

ok TOR published the U.S necros and i was enlightened by what jade said

 

and as DC is from the uk and i presume he has the uk version , i find it intresting the wording has been changed ,and if that is indeed the case why do us brits get fish flopping and you U.S guys dont

 

source uk version on page 20 it says : simonov tried to bring his gun to bear .Useless-there was no feeling in his hand ,which (flopped like a speared fish )

 

page 85 : The left side of the soldiers head was caved in and the hooks of the gauntlet caught in the broken bones of his skull. The intruder held him upright for a moment,(flopping uselessley like a speared fish )

 

page 332 : The finial was the eyetooth of the creature whose massive jaw formed the throne;it entered the traitors mouth and came out at the top of his skull,so that he kneeled there and (flopped about like a speared fish.)

 

so where the above phrases begin and end instead of getting speared like a flopped fish ,what are you U.S guys getting, ? jus a full stop and on to the next paragraph ?

 

anyways as a certain mr holmes would say its elementary my dear watson....or maybe not

 

on to you helm
