I vote for: GOODKINDXXV: I wonder what's bothering the chickens?

with "Evil Clucking Softly at the Door" as the subtitle.

GOODKINDXXV: I Wonder What's Bothering the Chickens?

Evil clucking softly at the door.

Do it, do it.

There we go. That gets my vote.

NOOOOOO! Reverse it! It's got to be the OTHER way around!

I'm a big re-reader, though recently I've been getting new material more. My general policy with a new book in a series has been to read that, then go to the beginning and reread everything.

I recall once in a writing class, we were asked what we'd read over the summer. When I said "all of Wheel of Time, and ...", there was shock. And awe. Hell, there was shock at just reading all 9 (at the time) WoT books in one summer, let alone the idea that I read more than that.

Some books are a re-read to see it again (no, not for the first time). Those tend to result in partial re-reads. I can crack open my Return of the King precisely to the chapter end where Theoden feels the wind, blows his horn, and begins the charge. I can crack my Silmarillion precisely to Nirnaeth Arnoediad. I can crack Eye of the World to Moiraine's speech to Emond's Field about Manetheren. Same with the Tower of Joy in Game of Thrones. Others are to see it in more detail. To catch the hints I'd missed, to dig a layer deeper. aSoIaF is that, MBotF is that, a few others are.

I'm all for either:

GOODKINDXXV: Putting the W in "Lemmings of Discord"

or

GOODKINDXXV: Flatulence of the Fallen

That's a contradiction. You've just chosen death. Thank you for living. Please don't try again.

"I wonder what's bothering the chickens" is such an awesomely shit opening line, it deserves to be the victorious new thread title.

Agreed. But I also love the other suggestions. Contradiction! *pop* (brain explodes)

Looking forward to that list, WLU. And, providing my work stays fairly quiet for the next few weeks, I'll make a start on Dick and Zedd's Excellent Adventure...

Well, you asked for it... I didn't have time to go all the way through, and I'm departing for the weekend tomorrow, so here's the list up until mid-June including some side threads. I haven't gone through it for quality or filtering, it's pretty ugly, my apologies for just a straight dump. I'll have a more thorough filtering later if no-one else does. And I look forward to another crotch-rocking parody.

GOODKIND XXV: Evil Clucking Softly at the Door

I wonder what's bothering the chickens?

I'll bite on this one, but I think the first letters of all the words should be capitalized. It's more celerious, and in Keeping With The Yeard's Awkward Writing Style.

I'm still fuming about my thread being stolen from me. Xray tore out my spine and handed it to me.

Better your spine than your ass - you need your ass to live.

Good weekend to all, don't fuck any nambles. I'm thinking of you potsherds, you dirty girl.

Too far? It was too far, wasn't it?
