Tintin - Page 2

***azalea*** · 04-18-2002, 04:52 PM

Mmmm, thanks!

Well, I am trying the pronunciation -- and of course everyone looks at me as if I've lost my mind! But thanks, it gives me an idea of it at least!

TinuvielChild · 04-20-2002, 01:05 PM

i LOVE Tintin!!! i don't have a favorite, i love them all! but i think the secret of the unicorn and red rackham's treasure, and one of the later ones, i forget which. wow. *sigh* nostalgia...see i used to read those about 4 years ago, loooong time to a teenager.

TwirlingString · 04-20-2002, 03:45 PM

TinuvielChild if you have them, let ME borrow them. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring Small Gods to school Tuesday.

TinuvielChild · 04-21-2002, 07:37 PM

k. i have the Shooting Star, the Black Gold (or something like that, i quite forget), ummmm the secret of the unicorn, red rackham's treasure, flight 714 or whatever it's called, and 2 others. i haven't looked at them in 2 years so please forgive me for mutilating the titles. and of course i won't forget Small Gods.

TinuvielChild · 04-21-2002, 07:40 PM

oh and i don't think you can get extra credit with them in French class, as a) they're not in French, b) they're originally Belgian, and c) they are completely non-France-related (in fact i think many of them take place in England). *shrug*

Lady of Darkness · 04-23-2002, 03:47 PM

I've read most of 'em. Where can you buy them anyway? I've looked everywhere and can't find them. oh well, I find my sister and bribe her to hand over her stash of TinTin books. Ever since I "forgot" to give her back one of them, she won't let me read them. *whimper* *whimper*

***azalea*** · 04-24-2002, 09:42 AM

I don't know if you have one there on the border of Mordor

, but I think Border's books and music has them, or can order them.

Lady of Darkness · 04-24-2002, 03:39 PM

good idea. we do have a Border's out here, but everythings' in Orcish

. And I'm certainly NOT taking up orcish just for the sake of books. (no offense) I would be insulting my race!! Besides, it's much more fun to call them names w/ a smile in your face and a sweet tone so they think that you're complementing them!

TinuvielChild · 04-28-2002, 03:54 PM

i know for a fact that you can get them at the Copley branch of the library, in the children's room. they've got a whole bunch of them.

hey LoD, i can lend you some on tuesday, if ya like. (that is, when TwirlingString gives them back *whistles innocently*)

Lady of Darkness · 05-19-2002, 02:46 PM

*squee**squee* Really?!?!?! OKEYDAY!!!!!!!! TINTINTINTINTINTINTINTINTINTIN TS, give TC back the TINTIN books NOW! I mean,*says in sweet and gentle tone* TS, please,please,please give TC back the TINTIN books, will you? I'm dying to read them for the 900000000000000000000000th time but I am too lazy*whistles innocently*to go to the Copley library.

My whole family loves Tintin, and we're working on getting all the books, including the rare ones (like Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, the first one ever, and Tintin in Congo, the second one). Tintin's the best!!! I love him!!

***azalea*** · 05-19-2002, 10:31 PM

I now have a little background onfo on Herge and the development of Tintin. I've just finished re reading the whole series of comics (excluding Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo). I love those comics, it's too bad he didn't write even more.

To clarify about Herge's persecution for nazi-ism: although he was never politically involved, since he had worked for a Nazi approved newspaper during Belgium's occupation, he was banned and arrested 4 times but never went to trial. He was always released within hours of being arrested.

Rána Eressëa · 07-24-2002, 06:20 PM

Oh, the nightmares! THE NIGHTMARES! *goes silent*

As you can see I hate Tintin.
