Confused folks may not know that that's what Tailsthefox calls the land under Llewellyn's couch cushions... or that it's "age" spelled backwards... especially since it's not recognized by any name in the O&M archives.. <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Its usually referred to as the "Land Beneath the Cushions" ... "Ega" huh? Another inside joke I'm now privy to! I feel all accepted and other warm fuzzy feelings that my doctor will later tell me was actually a mini heart attack! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Bocaj Claw]

So they don't age, they ega? An older person is considered "aged", so a younger person in Ega would be... egad? Or dega?

[TyVulpine]

No, not really. In Ega, a person starts out old, and grows younger....Captain Locke is a perfect example. (see the strips about him and Millie, paticularly when she goes to look for her father.)

[Bocaj Claw]

Thinking about that, does that mean that Millie was a few hours younger then when she first arrived there?

[Bocaj Claw]

Maybe its only people who are born there then. And I'm sorry, but I didn't know. Wasn't around for the prior discussion.

I'm sure he'll supply you with the link to the discussion.
