So lets see, exploring for a new home crystal which means they probably found the first one and didn't make it and apparently they have multiple wives.
Mao Edit: small title fixup.
I'm guessing that someone has noticed the pink crystal.

If that is the case, then who, hmm...
It's a good thing Amber never met Ham Rove, or she might have eaten him before that dog did. :giggle
On a more serious note, we're finally starting to see more aspects of the BV Mythos culture, which seems to include polygamy, apparently. I wonder, with them talking about fighting brothers for right of marriage, what happens when the family only has female children? I bet in that case they fight the father or whoever is considered the family's patriarch.
Also, is it just me, or do all those names sound either Indian or Middle Eastern?

While it could be possible that by chance there are only female children in a family, it seems boys are more important in their culture and I wouldn't be surprised if they would keep on trying until they have a son. And as horrible as it may sound, Matilda did mention that it isn't uncommon in their culture to kill unwanted daughters (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1065.php).
With all that scrapping and scratching going on I wonder if they use any tools or if they do all their digging by hand?
Amber, I have registered this account specifically for this post.
"I WANT ALL THE HAM."
I know, Amber. -I know. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zitCjDan63c)-
And I love you for it, you crazy warrior of the wasteland. You made my day.
Of course, maybe you weren't referencing that, which might disappoint me a bit, but no matter - it still made me grin, and that alone gets you a golden ham.
...don't eat the golden ham. It's gold. Our lab boys are still working on the 'edible' thing.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgAQApJdUOE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgAQApJdUOE)
Either way, if'n ya see this, been reading for at least a few years now, and I really enjoy just how far the story, art, and humor have developed over time. And I know I'll enjoy seeing where you take it. Thanks for the entertainment, and may you continue to prove yourself awesome.

What are you talking about? Gold is edible. It is not very nutritious, however, and has no taste.
in relation to cuddly blue cobras, there's this fat blue cobra plush up on squishables that totally deserves all the votes of matilda fans

And just to confirm, I did say it was cool to post it. And it would be cool if folks vote for it. :U

I think it's just whatever sounds are in their language. K's, R's, and sibilants like S's and SH's, seem, so far, to be prevalent. Seeing as they're rather cobra-like, seems fitting for them to have snakey sounds.
