MEG 311 : HE IS THE GORE!

[John Caliber]

Presuming Dredd's illness is a contagion rather than true zombieism, as Dredd would have have to have died first before being reanimated. Can't see any kind of antidote working that kind of miracle

[vzzbux]

If there was risk of contagion wouldn't they have some sort of vaccine in one of their pouches just in case.

If there was a vaccine involved at all they would presumably routinely vaccinate all judges, or at least any that were headed out beyond the wall for Cursed Earth duty.

Wonderfully eyecatching cover to say the least. And this is such a minor niggle it's hardly worth anyone's interest, but it's the kind of thing that sometimes annoys me -  the '...Gore' pun doesn't work unless you've got an Englishshire accent. Law rhymes with straw, braw, flaw and maw, but not gore.  I know, I've nothing else to worry me! Anyhoo...

Dredd - a feast for the eyes and no mistake! Superb, as if it would be anything else from McCarthy. A fun story too - I've no problem with the occasional 'throw away' one off, especially if there's going to be some top flight art on show.

Anderson - Good stuff. I like this more than the Cadet run in tooth (and it's grand). Another belter from Boo, natch.

Numbercruncher - Liked this! I think it's finally clicked with me...

Samizdat Squad - Yup. Thought this was a good opener with a nice old school vibe - particularly the cliffhanger. I would say that it felt a bit flat in places, but that's grand for an opener when you're (re)introducing characters imo. Those wee cannibal beasties are freaky!

Good articles - I'm still enjoying the interviews - and the floppie was fuckin awful. It was such a non starter and lasted SO LONG. Yer woman's farty/strainign for a shite noise language was really annoying too (Kwoop!Fnerp!Blat!Hak! - 'Trouser of great smell beast'). Funny I have no recollection of reading it the first time. More Flesh next month too...

Overall, the Meg's in good form. Me likey!

How do you pronounce it then 

[Spaceghost]

Law rhymes with straw, braw, flaw and maw, but not gore. 

Your mouth is, literally, full of wrong.

No, his mouth would be full of wrang.

How do you pronounce it then 

Gore rhymes with floor and more. Law doesn't.

Also, there is no "r" between the "a" and "g" in lager.

I still have no idea how it's pronounced then ? Floor, more and Law all rhyme with gore or do you pronounce it Goo-er? Which would be plain wrong. I don't see how anyone can complain about rhyming, just because they pronounce the word incorrectly reminds me of the wonderful Beano strip .. "Pansy Potter the strong mans daughter" which only rhymed if you were Scottish.

But...gore, more, Moore, score, floor, straw, braw, flaw, maw, poor, tour, four, shore, bore, claw and straw all rhyme with law.

How are you pronouncing 'gore'?  

[Trout]

Law rhymes with the noise you make upon seeing something cute: "Awwwwww!"

The vowel in "gore" rhymes with the noise you make upon seeing something a bit surprising: "Oh!"

Ye saft southern pansies!

Rubbish - Lore and Law (should) sound completely different, as do floor and flaw.

(shouldn't this be on the pedants' thread?)

Bollocks I say! Right, it's war. Anyone who pronounces law and gore so that they don't rhyme goes into the vats.

Wierdos.
