Moving sucks, but it is pretty much done. I'm all the way back in Seattle, and have updated all my location fields to reflect this.

So, to distract me while I try to tetrissokoban my workroom into shape, a question:

You're trapped with an alien who only communicates via mythological analogy. What story from our cultural heritage do you tell them? Gilgamesh is taken, obviously.

I'm also not sure you can declare in advance what rhetorical moves would be advantageous in dealing with an alien intelligence. But maybe I should just hand over a copy of To Serve Man then?
