Grex Enigma Item 317: When You Least Expect It
Entered by remmers on Wed Nov 26 04:14:55 UTC 1997:

        When you least expect it, it will come,
        As you're watching football on the tube
        Or grabbing a quick snack from the fridge
        Or studying for next week's hour exam.

        As you turn the corner in the hall
        Or reach the midpoint of the basement stairs
        Or take a book to read from off the shelf
        It will come then, when you least expect.

        Will you see it first, or hear, or feel,
        Or taste, or smell? What will be the first
        Sense to be aware that it has come, to
        Know the doom of all is here at last?

        You know not, so to present needs attend;
        Knowing will not matter, in the end.

The Snord's poem is really about people being "ambushed" by a couple
panksters from Atlantis using kiwi cream pies and a fancy teleporter.  
Obviously you don't get it at all.

I can teleport.

Ops. I shouldn't of told you. Never mind then.

You can teleport?  Why didn't you inform me of that?

#8 of 22 by lee on Mon Dec 15 21:55:21 1997:

darn it where is that gate? i thought i left it here

#9 of 22 by snowth on Tue Dec 16 04:03:36 1997:

The gate is in the lab, dear. And it's no longer called teleporting. It's
jaunting.

You'll have to ask TIM about that.

#12 of 22 by lee on Sat Dec 27 23:20:58 1997:

Tim who?

#13 of 22 by snowth on Sun Dec 28 07:19:54 1997:

"You'll find Tim, most days, in the TP Lab."

#14 of 22 by lee on Mon Dec 29 01:41:12 1997:

or is that TVP?

#15 of 22 by snowth on Mon Dec 29 21:18:59 1997:

No, decidedly the TP lab. He might possibly be in the spaceship now, but I
think he's still in the TP lab. You'll have to ask an original series member..

#16 of 22 by i on Tue Dec 30 00:17:06 1997:

Is that related to the TVA, or TPE?
Or is the answer TBD?

#17 of 22 by snowth on Tue Dec 30 15:46:21 1997:

None of the above, few of the below.

Here's your clue for the day:
"The stones shall move, the stars shall shine, and a shadow long shall fall
upon the earth"

don't forget to account for daylight savings time when you look for shadows
a la galaxy gang

#19 of 22 by orinoco on Wed Dec 31 03:32:33 1997:

What about night-light savings time?  You could save hundreds in elecricity
bills alone!

I taught Gully to jaunt; I'm sure I could teach myself.
