Found this treasure from the Gammorean Tour photoshop project, during the BHC era...

looks like their pacing themselves with that in mind, though, if the story that book 3 will be told over both seasons 3 and 4 is true.

« on: April 18, 2012, 12:30 PM »Awesome seeing Brienne of Tarth last night. Casting was spot on. I looked it up - that actress is 6'3" in real life. I was thinking it had to be an effect watching the show, the way she towered over Renley.
Wow. I was sure it was practical perspective effects along the lines of making Gandalf taller than the hobbits.

I still think it looks odd with the snow on the buildings but everyone running around in shorts, and knowing it was probably 80.
Ain't nothing wrong with that....

Has anyone else had this?
This could become a problem for me. After taking a sip, you immediately want another sip. Smooth as silk and TASTY.

« on: March 21, 2012, 11:19 AM »But like they said on Talking Dead, Shane had so much agressive energy in him, he transformed really quickly.
Or perhaps he was already partially symptomatic? Maybe he was less resistant to the infection than the rest of the carriers?
What troubles me about the idea that they are all carriers, that removes all hope unless a cure can be found. Regular "don't get bitten" zombie apocalypse scenarios allow survivors to just outlast the zombies if a quarantine can be found...eventually they will all decompose. But if everyone who dies, even in quarantine, is going to wake up hungry the zombie life cycle is never going to be interrupted.

When I was a kid collecting spider-man books in the eighties and early nineties, all of my current issues came from the grocery store, or the drug store. Would set aside my buy list, then browse and read the other titles I was interested in or that were crossing over stories until mom was done buying groceries.
$0.75 an issue, too. Don't remember how much a MAD Magazine was at the time, but it was a monthly purchase for me, too. *Sigh.*

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Shamrock Shake Lovers Unite!
« on: March 12, 2012, 02:57 PM »another year and i don't think any of the local mcd's offer them again. I've never tried one.
Shamrock shakes finally found their way to East Tennessee...tried my first one a few weeks ago while in Knoxville, and suddenly I'm seeing them here at home as well.
It tasted like green.
Only one I've had though, since I'm off sweets for lent.

« on: March 12, 2012, 02:29 PM »There were a few parts that I don't recall from the book (like the Flower Knight giving Renly a BJ) but that's probably because the cast of characters is so large and there's so much going on.
That was added, to much discussion. Martin claimed a relationship was "implied" in the books, but I think that may have been PR. He said it was obvious, since Renly's protectors were the "Rainbow Guard."
About 2/3's through Book 2 now, and it is very apparent, though not explicitly stated, that Renly and Loras Tyrel - the Knight of Flowers - are lovers. Don't think there was anything revisionist in Martin going back and stating that they were meant to be gay.
