The Cult of Lincoln

Saturday, January 19, 2002



This may be a bit of a tacky subject to follow that last entry, but what else was I going to post, quiz results?

Sannali posed the question of what would happen in a deathmatch between Bun Bun and The Luggage. So follows my thought processes:

Idea One: The Luggage would win, as sapient pearwood isn't truly living, and therefore can't be killed.

Idea Two: What about Bun-Bun's unfathomably destructive weapons arsenal? He could bomb the Luggage.
Tangent: Yeah, but the Luggage wouldn't die. It would just be a bunch of sapient toothpicks.
Tangent: Does that count as dead?
Tangent: It certainly gives Bun Bun the victory.

Idea Three: Wait. The original question was if Bun Bun attacked Rincewind, then the Luggage had to defend him. Obviously, if Bun Bun attacked Rincewind, Rincewind would be a distant spot on the horizon in almost no time flat. The Luggage would follow him, essentially forfeighting the fight. Bun Bun would win.
Tangent: Yes, but would the Luggage forfeight that easily? The canon suggests that he'd stay and fight Bun Bun.
Provoking Question: How easy is a mini lop to swallow?
Memory Tester: Has Bun Bun been eaten before?
Recollection: Yes, Aylee ate Bun Bun early on. If Aylee can eat Bun Bun, the Luggage surely can.
Tentative Conclusion: So that's it! The Luggage would eat Bun Bun.
Counterpoint: Yes, but this is Bun Bun we're talking about. Bun Bun survives everything. He'd probably get lost in the transdimensional portals the Luggage seems to offer, eventually turning up somewhere in the L-Space folds of Unseen University's Library.

Which leads us to another thought-provoking question: Who would you rather not fight against? An enraged minilop with a switchblade or a maddened Librarian with a badge?
