Here, I am leaking Topato's column in The Case of Atlantis so you can see exactly some of the things that go on in there, but behind a "cut" so people don't get all "waah my flist bip bep boop."

"it's" --> "its", 2nd paragraph.


I plan on deleting this in about 2 minutes out of embarrassment at being a grammar whore.

Actually, in the same vein-- "anytime" should be "any time". Same paragraph.

curiosity strikes me... what does topato's voice sound like?

Somehow I imagine a half-british (Upper, not cockney or other rubbish), and half-cute.

I always imagined Topato's voice to be that of the guy who ran the hospital on Taris in the original knights of the old republic game.

He has to sound like one of those voice actors who dub Japanese cartoons into English. Overemphatic with a slightly unnatural rhythm, because he's matching mouth movements in another language. And those paragraphs of long words really should be blurted out at super-speed, Speed Racer style.

Topato's voice

(Link)

I always placed it as a cross between Stephen Fry, but faster, and Clint Eastwood without the gravel. - English, assured, young and pretentious.

I imagine he talks superfast, and with a high-pitched voice, because of this.

good question. if topato and sheriff pony's magical adventures were to be a saturday morning cartoon, who'd do the voiceovers for our favorite characters? how about winona ryder for paisley?

"At the time it was considered the most brilliant military moves of all time;"

I don't mean to pick holes in this or anything, but shouldn't this read "At the time it was considered to be one of the most brilliant military moves of all time;"? However, as is, this remains a hilarious passage :)

Topato turns folks inside out for a living. It's best not rag on his grammer.

Capital PWNT but no capital "S" at the beginning of your sentence? I rebuke you for the win, faceless internet sir or madam.

Topato's words can't be held against him
He's not caught up in your law
