Re: "...On the spoke."

In Response To: "...On the spoke." (Leviathan)

: So for a decade or more, since the Halo 2 Announcement trailer that is, I
: have believed that "on the spoke" was a real phrase people say.
: I assumed it meant "at the ready" or something similar.

: And I was about to include it in a comic I was working on and so I googled to
: see where the phrase originated from... and the only thing I see is
: someone asking what it meant after watching that Halo 2 trailer.

: ...Wait, what? Is this not a real thing? Have I been mishearing it in that
: trailer all my life? This phrase was nestled firmly in my vocabulary and
: used a plenty! What's going on? The fabric of reality is falling apart!

You heard it right - but I thought it was a specific description - on the spoke of one of the stations. (They look like wheels, with spokes connecting to the central MAC gun.)

Maybe I'm as wrong as you are. :)
