  1. I've been loving all the Grobian histories!

  2. Here in America, where both the English and Grobian languages were invented (I'm not gonna bet the farm on that because here in America we have not yet invented fact-checking or farming), we pronounce the "-roque" in "baroque" to rhyme with "smoke", as in the shopkeepers' perennial warning: "You ba-roque it? You ba-ought it." (This should all make sense to you unless you Brits pronounce "smoke" to rhyme with "smock", which why wouldn't you? - you probably do.)

    Anyroad, my point is, since you pronounce "baroque" to rhyme with "Barack", I think it was irresponsible of you not to make some sort of Barack Obama pun/joke. That would be an instance of truly bad writing and, after all, he's your president, too, as I understand it. (Keep in mind that whole fact-checking thing I mentioned above.)

    Unless, of course, you pronouce his name to rhyme with "bloke".

    1. We, on the other hand, have such puns as “Baroque & Roll,” “Baroque Around The Clock” and “Baroque-ing Horse.” (HEALTH WARNING: This may in fact be the same pun three times.)

      But a baroque president sounds like a good idea – the state of the union address could be presented in ottava rima.

  4. Just discovered Grob via TVTropes. Bummed that it seems to have fizzled out! (Assuming, that is, that you haven't just taken an entirely planned, woefully unannounced six-year hiatus. I've been guilty of that myself, actually. I SWEAR I'm gonna go back and finish the epic pirate story I started writing when I was fifteen and haven't worked on since I was sixteen SOMEDAY. Sometimes taking a little decade-long break from your writing can help you to see it with fresh eyes. Plus, the love scenes I had planned will probably be more realistically written now. Well. Marginally.)

    I should've titled this comment "Digress and Overshare (Making Liberal Use of Unnecessary Parentheticals," but as there's no convincing archaeological evidence that you still check this blog/exist, I'll give myself a pass. Maybe you will see this comment, and it will be for you what the occasional-until-they-eventually-petered-out(-discounting-the-spambots!) comments on my pirate story (yes, it was fanfiction, serialized and then abandoned to an online audience) were for me: a nice, unexpected compliment, making me feel all warm and fuzzy that someone enjoyed my work and also guilty for just abandoning my readers/characters with no resolution, but neither warm-and-fuzzy nor guilty ENOUGH to motivate me into doing anything about it, until the "yeah, I'll get back to that story someday" of the ages of 16, 17, 18, 19 slowly faded away into the "I guess I'm just fundamentally incapable of follow-through and am destined to leave behind a metaphorical (aka digital) pile of half-baked ideas and aborted beginnings when I die, and no one will ever know the wonderful arcs and complete stories that existed in my head, because at the end of the day I am a failure as a writer and a human being" of my mid-twenties. (Does anyone know when you're officially required to start saying late-twenties? 29, right? Please?)

    So...episode five of Grob? The great invasion? Hugo and David? Anyone? Bueller?

    1. Annnnd it's occurred to me how incredibly self-indulgent this whole rambling mess of a comment was. In remedy: I love the podcast! Everything about it is a delight to me. Fake history told in a funny way is completely my jam. King Susan the Woman is my new icon. I found the opening line about Grob being the only civilization never to discover the wheel, even after outsiders patiently explained it to them, so funny that I was sure I'd heard it elsewhere before—like, I couldn't believe it wasn't a classic line of literature as oft-quoted and repeated as Douglas Adams/Wodehouse. I looked it up to confirm it hadn't been said before, and it hadn't, and I still don't believe it. Grobian Orthodox Heresy has a new adherent in me, though I already want to point out a contradiction (there's no concept of hell according to ep. 4, yet in the bonus episode the baroque poem clearly alludes to damnation!), and I'm not sure whether that makes me an extra-heretic or an anti-heretic or what. The baroque poetry, by the way, was also great. Sorry I didn't say all this earlier. Long live Grob!
