It is _ _ _ _ _ .It is FUNNY. Why the Napping Cat smiles... It is AWAKE. How ironic... It is BLANK. To find the answer, stop looking. It is BORED. Why else make such a complicated dream? It is ALIVE. A good explanation for doing anything. It is DYING. Even the Napping Cat must end...
How would you complete the koan? Why?
Come on, all you koan-heads out there...

Quinch wanders into the thread, and looks around. Suddenly realizing what he is reading, he withdraws as quickly as possible, for fear of finding the thing more dangerous to this dream than all things together...The right answer.

It is.

Well, that depends on what the meaning of "is" is, right? No? Yes? Maybe?It is... PLUGH (Poor kittycat has a cold!)
It is... ZORCH (Zaptastic fun for everyone!)
It is... YAHOO (Exultation is our Destination!)
It is... CRAZY (Nuttiness abounds when the Cat Naps around!)
It is... GRAND (Not just one universe, but many!)
It is... SCARY (Gorgon and Nightshade and Shiva, oh my!)
It is... SWIFT (But in here, it could last forever!) It is... bedtime. Good "night".

It is PRICY. I'm sure those icons must be worth a fortune.
It is PRIME. Yum! Gorgon steaks!
It is GROSS. *no comment*
It is SOCKS. *dances around*
It is LUCKY. Well, maybe not with Torix around.
It is BLAND. Needs salt.
It is CRASH. I think he's still stalking the cat.
It is ARTSY. Well, it is!
It is FANCY. Might as well open a styling salon in the Dream.
It is TIGHT. Can't fit.....must get....leg in pants.......
It is TRUTH. Because the truth is out there.
It is STILL. *remains perfectly motionless*

OOC: Ooh, what game was that from, Phoebe? I had a notion of dropping 'XYZZY' myself, but I couldn't remember the appropriate response.
It is... PLAIN (...as the nose on your face, if you have a nose and a face)

I'm a chibi! Thank you Lin! S-chan's parents signed her up for a summer camp that gives out more homework than regular school. Consequently, she's only going to post every other day. Sorry... >_<

[Rusty - It's from the Zork series. I'm not entire sure, but I think it's in all of 'em. 'Hello sailor' is also in the first three (and the prequel).]

Hey Nyu,I liked your list but I think it's suppossed to be a five-letter word. Anyway here's mine: It is A K O A N or better yet... It is C A R D S ::The Phantom Critic materializes three autographed cards in the hands of the previous three posters, Nyu, Silvermoon and Phoebe Bask and accepts any they might offer him.::

All right, I'll try to find a real answer. I was serious before, but the Phantom Critic has a point: doesn't fit the spaces.It is SLEEP....a state that we all enter. But the Napping Cat has carried its dream far enough for those within to become real.
--------------------
 Thank you, Denise and Graham.

Actually, one of my guesses, "A Koan", is actually two words, and the comic specifically mentions that it is a word (singular). So cancel that first guess (not that anyone's really counting).

Taking the offered card, Silver bows and offers one of her own to the Phantom Critic. "I feel most honored sir. Thank you so very much."

IT Is..Brave IT is..Noble IT is..Stupid IT is..Moony (Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs! SPOT THE REFERENCE!) It is..Right It is SMACK! It is Drugs It Is Wierd It is Funky It is Funny It is ACK!! IT is WHACK But who gives a care what It IS!? I Certainly dont. A Great man once said, "From Whence do we came? Who are we? And WHere are we going?" And A Young Boy said, in these immortal words. "Well I Dont know about anyone else, But I came from my Room, Im a kid with big plans, and Im going outside, Seeya later!" Who can tell me who said that? 8D

come on and read between the lines. it makes the world a bit more of a pleasant place to be in.
Think about this. 1+1 does not equal 2, not at all times. sometimes it is 3 sometimes 10 sometimes it is nothing to be trifled with.
