Here is the version I pulled down yesterday for it not making sense. The "this" of which Pip speaks refers to the height (and accompanying inaccessibility) of the bindle. The "this" does not refer to some magical stick lenghtening power imbued by so-called "leafs" being stuffed into the bindle.
Thank you for your time and patience.

I totally got it without the explanatory text.
ReplyDeleteSo you finally stopped making sense? What took you so long?
ReplyDeleteLife during wartime?
ReplyDeletePole vault kitteh bo!
ReplyDeleteThe revised version is much, much cuter.
ReplyDeleteOriginal = pissed-off Kitteh
Newer = tolerant Kitteh
and Joanie and the other Yasgur birds are always welcome.
also, shouldn't their majikal bindl be able to hold plenty of leafs?
Be careful not to put a magical bindle inside a magical bindle.
ReplyDeleteIn the physics of Dungeons & Dragons, putting a bag of holding inside a portable hole will result in a rift to be opened to the Astral Plane, and both items will be lost forever. If a portable hole is placed within a bag of holding, it instead opens a gate to the Astral Plane, sucking in every creature in a ten foot radius, and destroying both the bag and hole. The contents of the bags are either scattered throughout the Astral Plane or destroyed. Placing bags of holding into one another (or within a Heward's handy haversack or vice versa) has no adverse effects in the current edition of the game and would allow one to store an infinite amount of items by storing bags of holding within bags of holding..
In earlier editions of Dungeons & Dragons, putting one bag of holding inside another would have the same effect as placing a portable hole into a bag of holding. Interactions with portable holes had the effects listed above.
In both versions, however, you can tell that Kitteh isn't 100% happy b/c he's swishing his tail a little, which indicates mild unhappiness/annoyance in a cat.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm thinking the bindl as seen here influenced a young Gary Gygax to think about bags of holding. He must have seen a copy of "Meet the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats" in the 70's as he was working on D&D.
I didn't know the newer rules allowed for bags within bags. We'd have considered that cheating in my youth.
