space v dragons

you need space so you can banish bad dragons to distant solar systems

otoh there could be vast tracts of unexplored space inside dragons

THINK ABOUT IT

Demons are real, dragons awake
oh goddamn

also totally true, and i would rather be floating in space than spend one minute in the company of either/any of those guys

maybe when you are eaten by a dragon, you are instantly sent into outer space
~think about it~

aliens.

I forgot aliens! Knew there was something.

aliens are gross

in general, space

Prefer my books to be about dragons tho

I vote dragons because reptiles in myth get a bad rap and I think they're way more important than the sagas/Grimm Bros let on.

This is a good point. Pretty sure that the legend of St George and the space wouldn't have had quite the same resonance.

How about aliens that look like dragons?

they are aliens

space is full of moons

dragons that look like aliens would def get my wote

i mean, how would you categorise aliens that look like kfc? Would you eat them because they looked like kfc? Congrats u just started a war we cannot win, bozo.

smh

who cares, you're probably already eating aliens every day already

why not give in to the expansive peace of space

Would you eat them because they looked like kfc?

^ space dragon

cf. singing space dragon in The Iron Man.

well, space-bat-angel-dragon.

what if space is really, really boring

^hates life

Other way around, bub. Space is about getting out of this life, possibly out of bodies and humanity altogether. Dragons are about as vital as it gets.

That's my theory for today, anyway.

Space is infinite.
It is dark.
Space is neutral.
It is cold.

Stars occupy minute areas of space. They are clustered a few billion here. A few billion there. As if seeking consolation in numbers.
Space does not care.

Space does not threaten.
Space does not comfort.
It does not sleep; it does not wake; it does not dream; it does not hope; it does not fear; it does not love; it does not hate; it does not encourage any of these qualities.
Space cannot be measured. It cannot be angered, it cannot be placated. It cannot be summed up. Space is there.
Space is not large and it is not small. It does not live and it does not die. It does not offer truth and neither does it lie.
Space is a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact.
Space is the absence of time and of matter

^^^^you can't say any of that shit about dragons

it's still pretty cool tho

mine was a vote for space, BTW

Space is infinite and therefore symbol for an infinite number of possibilities, it's the widest canvas possible to project the self.

Dragons on the other hand have always been convenient shorthand for fears of the unknown, fears of the Other: remember the old maps that imagine a flat world where you could just sail and sail until you fell of the edge? And what awaited you there? "HERE BE DRAGONS"

(might be a reason to prefer dragons, actually)

Yeah, man, I'll take human life right here! All that stuff you just said about space repels me like fucken' magnets.

I prefer space because living in fear is a waste of time.

Important evidence for your consideration:

in this one, space hands down

if it were space v dinosaurs tho, well, that's another story

You can't dance with dragons, but you can dance as freely as you want when you are in space. You're not bound by stupid old gravity.

Where does the bottom of the ocean fit into this equation?

Dragons are "monsters" and stand in for the unknown and un-conquered of all kinds. In particular, reptilian figures are often linked to that which is unknown about the earth/nature. I'm a big fan of that.

That is a compelling idea, and I love nature and its unknownness, but it's such an earth-limited view.

I vote dragons because reptiles in myth get a bad rap and I think they're way more important than the sagas/Grimm Bros let on.

Since most dragons appear to have six limbs, I don't think they are reptiles. I guess they are some kind of giant insects or crustaceans?

snakes have no limbs, are they not reptiles either?

Yeah, but the maximum number of limbs a reptile can have is four. Even snakes are descended from tetrapods.

Can't really imagine a kids' movie about training your space

What the hell do you mean, "most" dragons??

snakes are just giant limbs

Anyway, I think this piece of evidence should win the argument:

dragons w/ jetpacks?

well played.

i'd rather shoot around space as myself than as a big old dragon

in dragons, no one can hear u scream

Outside of a dragon, space is a man's best friend; inside of a dragon, no one can hear u scream.

also we are already experiencing space, every day! do you know how much space there is between an atom's nucleus and its electrons?????? think of all the atoms in your body!!!!!

LOL

xpost

For all we know, dayo, part of that immense space is inhabited by infinitesimally small dragons

I call them...dragtoms

I was about to google for cats in drag before I remembered I was at work

clearly the superior way to travel thru space is on a dragon

do you know of the old proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold? it is very cold in dragons

xxp you need to change jobs to one that allows you to do that during working hours, preferably as part of your job description.

also, late but here it is:

I'm an alien
an illegal alien
At a KFC
in New Yo-oooork

i mean, how would you categorise aliens that look like kfc?

"They must have looked something like a roast chicken."

please to consider in favor of space

Mass Effect is better than Dragon Age, so Space.

space isn't and hasn't

P sure Bruce Coville never wrote a book called Jeremy Thatcher, Space Hatcher, come on.

I have never really felt like I could trust a dragon

definitely need a bruce coville books poll

I have never really felt like I could trust a dragon

*cries*

Oh, and here's that dragon in space that deems mentioned. (Just look for a U-shaped line of stars around the Little Dipper.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

What if all of space -- exists within the mind of a dragon?!

space is the place

RIP dragons, maybe I'll see you again in space sometime

Those results look approximately right.

Take that, Smaug.

if it came to a fight the average dragon would pwn space imo

was this poll rigged? not sure i trust the programming in this place space
