Just incase you'd like to know Damocles Dock comes from the idiom "the sword of Damocles" which means any great state of danger! Maybe you should add that to your commonplace notebook! I did!

If you read LS:TUA, in the Unfrequently asked questions about VFD and says something about keeping they're commonplace notebooks under their beds. It's a notebook for VFD, I guess.

I have a commonplace notebook - they're really fun to make. It's time-consuming, though.

The commonplace notebooks we've seen in ASOUE are the little books Duncan and Isadora carry around in TAA. They're small notebooks where you can write down to do lists, information about fires, and anything you know about VFD. To be really convenient, it should fit in a pocket or purse. Remember to carry a pen or pencil to aid in writing notes.

Just incase you'd like to know Damocles Dock comes from the idiom "the sword of Damocles" which means any great state of danger! Maybe you should add that to your commonplace notebook! I did! Right-- Damocles was a Greek guy who wanted to suck up to Dionysus I (who was king at the time) by proclaiming that Dionysus was the happiest of men. The king decided to show Damocles how great it was to be a ruler and be responsible for everything going on in a kingdom, so he had Damocles sit in a chair beneath a large, very sharp sword that was suspended from the ceiling by a single, thin thread. Moral of the story: eventually the thread will break, and you're toast -- no one can ever be "the happiest of men" if they have major responsibilities. I've started my own commonplace book, btw. Kind of painstaking right now -- I'm re-reading the books one by one and writing down everything I can think of-- like references I wrote above.

If you look at the picture at the beginning, the Baud's are sitting on the dock and there is a sword hanging over them.

I regret to inform you that as we speak I am strapped underneath the dock itself. That ugly man with the brown and blue eyes is insane. The tide is coming in. I'll try to stay dry alive.
With all due respect, Agent A

Chilled Cucumber, it is frowned upon if you bump really old threads, such as this one. If you do it again, I will have to warn you.
