Which of the Giants would you like to have living next door?

I would choose Pot,  hands down.

  • Pot embodies all the qualities I would like to see in a neighbour. He is friendly, good looking and offers many tempting substances for my enjoyment.

  • LOL napabeth! Bwahahahaha! I might have to agree, especially after the stories of the feast and the lemons. Pot seems to take itself less seriously than some of the other giants, at least going by the stories we got told last test. My second choice would be Humbaba because it loves the animals:)

  • Yup, I'm a Pot person too!:)

  • OMG! Are you serious!

    Having to have such a neighbor would be way, way to high maintenance! For instance, I'd be taking out the garbage and my neighborhood Giant would want me to take out theirs, and damn, I'd have to rent a monster tow truck to me get the can (hopefully only 1) to the curb. And when I'm off to run errands, you know who will want a ride, and how would that work?? Or how 'bout when other Giants come by to visit?!?!?! There goes the neighborhood. And the constant expectations of donations......

    I am always leery of getting too close to Giants, mystics, sadgurus or politicians!

  • I suspect Pot, while a generous neighbor and also ready to lend a hand, is also the type to have a car on cinder blocks in his yard.

    Friendly. For reasons that are mysterious.

  • Pot indeed. I am number one in the leaderboards for POT :-)

  • But...Perhaps I go for spriggan after the reset :-)

  • I have to think on this really hard....

    Nope I don't want a giant for a neighbor, friend yes, close by maybe.

    Your talking about a being that could just erase you by thinking it.

  • "Sure, Spriggan is the most taciturn and humorless of all the giants. You would be, too, if you had sole dominion over the trees. Trees are serious business, you know."

    Does not sound like a fun neighbor.

  • No indeed Lord Bacon-o... but I don't have much contact in RL with my neighbours and I don't mind at all...So..Spriggan wpuld be an option to keep things quiet. :-)

  • Atlantis, truth. Though she'd probably stop by often to give to tell you how you aren't caring for your trees right.

  • ooooooh shoot. Never thought about that. O my....exit Spriggan.

    Maybe the watery Giant; Miss G :-) Nice emblem too :-)

  •  The only thing worse than a Giant moving in next door would be a gang of Rooks.

  • i'd go with Tii, coz i'd get my taxes done for free.

    see, that rhymes.

    ... and it is true that Tii would probably love coming up with infinitely recursive deduction schemes.

  • Don't worry about the Rooks if you have a Giant living next door.  One glance from his steely eyes and they would drop like a crushed  Pop Rock, pulzerized into sparkle dust....fall like a shattered, decimated  successful target hit by a drone missile craft...

  • Yeah, none of the above. I wouldn't want to run into any of those guys first thing in the morning when I am retrieving my copy of the Ur Herald - WAY too many eyeballs, the lot of 'em!

  • i think the rook represents the forgetfulness of the giants.

    if the world is the thoughts of the giants, then the rook represents the forgetfulness that causes areas of the world to fall to neglect and being overtaken by rook.

    so if a giant looked at a rook, it would vanish before the giant could even see it. or something like that. the more attention for the giant, the less neglect that powers the rook.

  • This talk of Rooks reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe...Quote the raven, "nevermore..."
    What would a Rook say if he were being pursued by Pot, the Mightiest Giant of them All?
    Posted 18 months ago by napabeth Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have the answer... he would say "Shazam !"

  • I'm thinking Pot might throw some wild parties, but next door would be a bit too close for comfort - and the rubbish bags would be in their hundreds afterwards so I wouldn't care to contemplate moving them around.
    Alph? or Cosma?
    "Alph is the giant of creation. If you've ever wondered "Why do Piggies make meat?" or "Which came first: the chicken or the egg plant?" chances are Alph has the answer."
    - handy if you have a quick question to just pop round

    "Cosma is the giant who governs the sky. She is also the giant of levity and, sad to say, flightiness. She is, however, the only giant capable of herding butterflies."
    - levity sounds good, but the butterflies could block out any sunlight if they get too crowded

  • I'm thinking Friendly - other than the obvious friendliness it would be nice to be able to stop by anytime I was missing cocktail ingredients and have him make me something potent and delicious.
    Posted 18 months ago by The Cat Face Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Cosma. Peaceful, calm, quiet.
    Posted 18 months ago by Taylor Swift Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Mmmmm cocktails - ok for reasons totally unmysterious Friendly now heads my list. I'd be willing to chip ice for him anytime :)

  • How about Pot on one side and Friendly on the other?
    you would have it all... no need to ever leave home....

  • and an underground tunnel linking all the houses....with egg plant trees of course...

  • Zille. No doubt Zille would have plenty of rocks around for me to mine. :P

  • I'd first want to live next to Lem, hopefully he'd take me on some interesting adventures. After a while I'd get sick of it and move next door to Cosma.

  • Hmmm.  I'm thinking Humbaba would be better at getting my sheltie to stop barking than I am.

  • I was thinking the SF Giants....

  • Lem. Tough and thorough and has a thing for smart chicks.

  • Friendly, obviously. I would look forward to his parties.
