Previous Floor

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=28504

Not sure if I'm actually allowed to do this but, um, I'm doing it anyway.

This is our brand new basement underground treehouse built into the forty fifth floor. Maybe Escher designed this floor. Anyway as well as the perpetually stocked wet bar and comfy floor we have our very own very large tree with multilevel treehouse with ropes and ladders and lots of places to explore.

Yay! I love climbing trees!!

This may be the BEST FLOOR YET!

And who cares if we fall because the comfy floor will cushion us!

*sets up a rope swing and swings away*

of course, this being the Escher floor, the swing hangs up from the floor.

This is very much the best floor for ever - even better tnat the cupcake floor - Yey!

The inverted 5th dimensional dance floor of the mind?

It's over there, curled into an infintely dense space-time dimension, but it's been swallowed by that Platapus.

Then you'll never learn the latest dancesteps, "The Monotreme Mash" and "The Platypi Prance"

And thanks for the drink with the odd gravity. Under the hatch and before the gums look out guts here it comes.

"Oooh dancing!"

SR thinks to join and then realizes he's never looked more foolish than the times he's attempted to dance. So he steps back and decides the best thing he can do is lay down some cool music. He starts with some Steely Dan and then segues in a underlying rhythm with the sonar.

He then fires up the dance lights, lasers, strobes, spots, and mirror ball.

Ahh found the first tee. You have to walk backward while reciting pi to get to it. This is a tough hole. You need to get the ball to spiral into an inverted cup by rolling it along a mobius strip. SO you have to hit the ball with just the right amount of negative top spin.
