Talk:Holy Wood

My Mapp shows ParaMountain (labelled "8") and Holy Wood ("14") at the neck of the Circle Sea as described and Quirm ("24") much farther turnwise along the Rim Ocean coast. Both seem farther from A-M than the early descriptions of course. --Old Dickens (talk) 15:05, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Scratch that. You are of course correct! Faulty mapreading. Article amended. AgProv (talk) 21:55, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Never mind; I have so many senior moments lately I hardly dare to publish anything. --Old Dickens (talk) 02:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Going back to February... and today, with the publication of Bradshaw. Mrs Bradshaw's indispensble guide places the Para Mountain, and by extension, Holy Wood, firmly within the borders of the Duchy of Quirm (ref map sections published in Bradshaw). Hmmm... going back to the original discussion, not so much faulty map-reading as a faulty Mapp? Quirm appears to have shifted, Skund-like, back along the coast nearer to A-M. More evidence for the Mapp being out?

Also... it begs a question as to why the Moving Pictures industry did not have a thriving set of studios producing moody, angsty, arty movies with Quirmian caption boards, laden with the existential angst of being, in which not much happens save for the principal actress gratuitously removing her clothes for reasons barely explained in the script. Names like Goddard and Trouffaut spring to the mind here, as well as the sight of the big guy (Depardieu) with the big nose lumbering through the scene...on the coast, a Nouvelle Vague, peut-etre...

We've noted the Mapp's problems for years, but the oscillating text is annoying. It must be hard to build a railroad when your destinations move around - and what if a terminal packs up and leaves while a train is on the way? Disconcerting for all, I should think. --Old Dickens (talk) 00:00, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
