Oh, ******.

Elen was removing the dead dragon from the cage when he woke up.

Semivivisepulture ping!

Bill, with an expressive eye roll, says, “This is not the first time this has happened,” although how someone who doesn’t recognize a spade could have more than one semivivisepulture experience is beyond me.

...when he woke up.

So Dragon was not dead, just practicing excessive torpidity...

Or running for office. ;-)

But Bill now knows what a spade is...

..of course, when the next time comes, he'll find one of these instead.

(Semi)vivisepulture.

That is one which for 56 years, had kept itself out of my vocabulary. But thanks to you all, I have learned a new word (the first one since yesterday).

So I put some google-fu on it, and it seems it is part of the lore here.

And just about no place else in the 'tubes.
