UGLIE 04 – The One Where Eddie Got Sick and/or Confused

In the fourth of the UGLIE series, we bring forth a favorite theory of the author. Let's call it cryptically the Three Men in a Thought. Link to earlier post before the actual story starts. We use the excuse of our now old friend Edward to travel far and wide. A few explanatory off-server external links.

B2B 00 – Yet Another Prologue

Just another prologue to another proposed series. Based extremely loosely on another epic I love. To bits. This was not promised to anybody. May be it was, but I won't incriminate my friends this time! A few external links at the time of writing. Cross-references and collaborative information, mostly. | Do read, comment and discuss.

UGLIE 03: The One With Eddie And Deaths

In the third of the UGLIE series, we skip to the Regency of Terribelus. We examine possible source of few slightly suspect "facts" of the tale, neither confirming nor denying... just stating options. May be that should be left to each listener not the teller of these tales. Link to earlier post before the actual story starts. We introduce an as-of-now silent narrator, Mr. Edward.

UGLIE 02: The One With The Thrice-Named Queen

In the second of the UGLIE series, we examine the possible setting of the "terrible oath" of Terribellus. Also we make almost-risque jokes about one of the strangest tales, of desire and untoward consequences of the same. Kindly stop sniggering! We end the episode when the three names mentioned in the title are justified, in a way. Link to earlier post in the first paragraph. A few explanatory off-server external links, including a few of foot-tapping numbers on Youtube (content not owned by us).

UGLIE 01: The One Where Terribelus has a Terrible Start

In the first of the UGLIE series, we discuss the divine origins of Terribelus, the son of King Pacificus Atomus of the Kingdom of Elephantiston. Kindly stop sniggering! We stop dramatically just when the seeds of his misfortune are visible in the narrative. A few explanatory off-server external links.

The Right to be Wrong

After a few days of stalking the inter-web, a middle-aged person decided to speak up about a phenomenon. The phenomenon of "militant" methods of convincing. The phenomenon of increasing sightings of logical fallacy examples, in the wild. An arbitrarily long list of fallacies was drawn up with some dense language pasted for company. Under the able guidance of a more culturally clued-in friend examples were teased out of Bollywood.

No Disrespect Meant #04 – Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

In this fourth and final post of the No-Disrespect-Meant series, we finish (for now) the ill-advised adventure in perspective which started from the insidious chromatic racism of the Indian sub-continent. Do read up the others, if you could please. This works independently in a way, as it is much more direct than its elder siblings! We complete this unscientific and academically suspect analysis of the current forms of a few of the deities heading the Indian pantheon,especially the splendorous calendar art versions. At the end we leave you with an altered look at some well-known feats of skill which may or may not be memories of (not so improbable) genocide. Please note the weasel words used in the excerpt, to assuage any hurt feelings.

No Disrespect Meant #03 – Let’s Go Crazy

The adventure continues, in this third installment in a series of four posts. Do read up the others, if you could please. This works as a standalone as well, though the least "standalone-ish" of the four! We try to analyze the amalgamation of leading deities of one culture into the pantheon of another. This is supported by an ill-advised, and most probably erroneous, interpretation of the names and words. These may still be true in a particular iteration of the "multiverse". May be even in the one we are currently inhabiting! Oh. and we look into the extant calendar art forms of the Indian sub-continent. Just a teaser for the next post!

No Disrespect Meant #02 – I Heard It Through The Grapevine

We continue the exploration started in this post, second in a series of four. Do read up the others, if you could please. Though this works as a standalone as well, kind of! We tackle a particularly controversial theory, namely the migration of a tribe into the sub-continent. Instead of dwelling on this migration, we introduce an even more controversial theory, namely of amalgamation of leading deities of one pantheon into the mental shrines of another culture.
