There is no Florida Man at the Wall, who needs one anyway when you have Jon Snow?

9/11/2001 There is a 'before' and 'after' for this date.

Steps out of character for a moment. Facts and logic? I thought he used a knife. Thats pretty damn funny!

Dude! That's exactly what I said, the dwarf progeny was in cahoots with the NW! Unfortunately, due to bad luck, Mormont did not live to see his nefarious plan come to fruition. Tyrion almost, almost made it back to the Wall too! That's what ya get when you fly with the crows, I guess.

Outstanding idea! What an impression he will make on the moneybags.

Tywin Lannister sent the brave and loyal Janos Slynt to the Wall to become the next LC after Tywin's secret wilding operative, Craster, took out LC Lord Mormont. However, due to a munity by the losers already in the Watch, both Craster and Mormont were rubbed out. Tywin's plan to elevate Sylnt to the LC position did not come to fruition because of the devious cheating headed by Sam Tarly, his partner in crime Doloros Edd and that filthy raven, the Bastard of Winterfell was unfairly elected as Lord Commander in a true rigged election. Later, after Tywin's unfortunate demise brought on by his dwarf progeny, who was in cahoots with the NW no doubt, Cersei took up the gauntlet and made an elaborate plan to have Osney Kettleblack to take a fall for adultery with Queen Margery, only to be tortured by the High Sparrow who learned the truth and who had Cersei arrested. There went her plan to send 100 former Gold Cloaks to the Wall to assassinate Jon Snow and take over the Watch to be her own private army in the North. However, the day was later saved when the brave pomegranate known as Saint Bowen Marsh, arranged a little stabby stabby party of his own and took out Jon Snow, the man who was the worst LC of the Night Watch since forever! Now, luckily for Westeros, not only was there not a Stark in Winterfell, but there isn't one in the Night Watch either! As for the Freys, I stand by what I previously wrote.

Woo hoo! Yes, I feel self-conscious but do it anyway. It's still hot here too so masks are very hot, a minor thing compared to covid. When the new vaccines come in, I'll get my booster as well.

I've been doing that as cases of covid have been reported locally.

What about the Freys? There are so many of them and they all look the same; near sighted and buck toothed. Plus, they are whiny and always trying to marry up and everyone in Westeros knows someone married to a Frey and at least one in every family line. They control the bridges on the Green Fork of the River Trident, and old Walder Frey trys to pimp out marry off his daughters to allow people to cross the river. Plus, when Freys send their boys out to be fostered, they are a bad influence on the host families' young boys. Other than breeding like rabbits, they make good pies.

Interesting article on how much virus is exhaled by patients with the disease. "COVID patients exhale high numbers of virus during the first eight days after symptoms start, as high as 1,000 copies per minute, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study. It is the first longitudinal, direct measure of the number of SARS-CoV-2 viral copies exhaled per minute over the course of the infection — from the first sign of symptoms until 20 days after." COVID patients exhale up to 1,000 copies of virus per minute during first eight days of symptoms - Northwestern Now

Agree, however, I do see it used here on the forums from time to time.

Piebald is rare in the books but not irl. It describes a coat pattern on horses, a horse with a white base coat and black colored spots. Skewbald describes a horse with a white coat and spots that are other colors, not black. So, a skewbald would have brown, chestnut, sorrel or other coat color, not black. We call them paint or pinto horses today, and if the spots are described it would be like, a black and white paint (piebald) or a sorrel and white pinto (skewbald). A paint horse is generally a stock horse, a pinto is a horse that is one that is not a stock horse, fancy riding horse say. A rounsey is a small horse, bigger than a pony, but small for a horse. This word is archaic and a delightful word to add the vocabulary. The horse Pod was riding was a black and white pinto rounsey. The 'dance with me anon' is an interesting phrase, as anon is rarely heard in the USA (where I'm at), and I'd never read or heard of it until it was mentioned in Jon's chapters. Anon means, soon or shortly, and the context of the last anon quote is interesting. The wilding are passing through the gate in the Wall into Castle Black and when Jon sees the first one he thinks; "A snowflake danced upon the air. Then another. Dance with me, Jon Snow, he thought. You'll dance with me anon." ADWD Jon XII What tune will he be dancing too one wonders?

10 September 2008 The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, conducted its first test operation.

I walked by a garage sale down the road from me yesterday on my morning walk and it was packed! Rather surprised though at how many folks were there, didn't even stop though, as I have plenty of junk of my own.

In the Lyanna and Rhaegar picture, Rhaegar reminds of Slender Man. Every time I look at it, that's who I see.

9 September 1976 Marxist revolutionary Mao Zedong, died this day in 1976, emerged as the undisputed Chinese Communist Party leader following the Long March (1934–35) and dominated China in the period after the communist takeover in 1949. 1767 Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola Vizcaínas - the oldest continuously operating educational institution in Mexico, opens for the education of girls and women in Mexico City

Neither the Mormont women nor the Reed women are tramps as they are warrior women. Dacy Mormont, had she lived, would have been a good role model for Arya. Meera as well, not only is Meera highly skilled with the weapons of her people, but she is also self-sufficient and has great empathy for others. Arya may have found them both admirable, if she ever had the chance to meet them, especially Meera, as she was able to keep Bran fed, protected and safe in their journeys.

Little bitty earthquake here in North California. Please, no more thanks!

8 September 1966 The first episode of the sci-fi series Star Trek aired on American television. And the meme "Beam me up, Scotty." was born. However, the wiki notes that "It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966, on Canada's CTV network." I did not that know that. Way cool! 1504 Michelangelo's the David was unveiled in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence; considered a masterpiece, the sculpture is one of the defining works of the Renaissance.

7 September 1901, With the signing of the Boxer Protocol, the Boxer Rebellion officially ended; a violent peasant uprising, it had unsuccessfully sought to drive all foreigners out of China. 1963, The Pro Football Hall of Fame opened in Canton, Ohio, and its first inductees included Jim Thorpe and George Halas.

I don't blame Ned as he did not murder Robert and cause Joff to be elevated, Cersei did. Robert's murder caused consequences that she did not consider, and it cost many people, including Ned, their lives. He would not have gone to Cersei with what he knew if Robert has not been murdered by her. Therefore, Cersei is responsible, not Ned.

I would assign Ceresi to be responsible for those deaths, as she; birthed bastards with her twin brother and passed them off as Roberts' heirs murdered Robert which was the match that really started the Wot5K did all she could to keep Joff on the throne I'd say her kill count is pretty darn high

That's the thing, I have characters I don't like, so why whine about them. Other folks like them, so what?

You need a reasonable time frame for your unreasonable post? Edgy!
