Nymeria10k Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Which one? In this one the antagonist defecates into the soul of the reader: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/42588-robert-stanek-shat-directly-into-my-soul/?hl=stanek Herein a board member actually reads some Stanek: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/45044-so-i-read-a-stanek-book/?hl=stanek and a couple more: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/81286-stanek-thinks-he-is-glen-cook-now/?hl=stanek. http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/96396-robert-stanek-and-his-super-secret-nsa-powers/?hl=stanek Oh and an even older one going back to 2007: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/19941-roberts-newcomb-and-stanek/?p=858964&hl=stanek&fromsearch=1#entry858964 Also, don't miss this blog, which documents some of Stanek's antics in gorgeous detail. Thank you! I'm currently reading the blog, a great beginner's guide to Stanek :lmao: I have plenty of entertainment for the time being ;) -- Conspiracy theory: what if Mike Miller is Stanek in disguise.. :leaving: Probably not, this dude is way too amateur for Stanek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Gilfellon Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well considering Mike has got us discussing Stanek I would say that's a conspiracy theory that might well be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Sometimes at work, I stare at the tree tops and the horizon, like Kant at his steeple, contemplating whether or not the Stanek that visitied this board was the real one or not.

Gillio Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 “He longed to become Real, to know what it felt like; and yet the idea of growing shabby and losing his eyes and whiskers was rather sad.

Myshkin Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sometimes at work, I stare at the tree tops and the horizon, like Kant at his steeple, contemplating whether or not the Stanek that visitied this board was the real one or not. And you come to realize that Stanek is only perceivable through the prism of human experience, and so the truth of him can never be fully known.

kairparavel Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Guys. I want the You Have Two Cows thread somehow remade to styles/names of beers. Make it happen. Kthanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EruditeFool Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'll give it a shot... Stanek = Budweiser Clamato Chelada. It poops into your soul.Goodkind = Milwaukee's Best. So Horrible,it's memorable. GRRM = A well made IPA. If you can appreciate it you'll like it. Otherwise, you'll be repulsed.Robert Jordan = Budweiser. Everyone used to think it was good until better things came along and it was recognized for its mediocrity.Abercrombie = Java Stout. Clash of flavors, very memorable, and it somehow works.http://www.mustlovebeer.com/public/album_photo/ed/44/44a9_46d7.jpg?c=350bTerry Brooks = Coors Lite. Mass produced and bad.Christopher Paolini = O'Douls. There is absolutely no point in drinking it.Sanderson = A good German-style Blonde. It takes what we're used to, but makes it so much better.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 EF,Is GRRM a West Coast or an East Coast IPA. I don't care for the aggresively hoppy West Coast style. I like the East Coast style. It has a sense of balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EruditeFool Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I was thinking something like Rahr and Sons Stormcloud IPA. Not sure how available it is outside Texas though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Stover is whatever you think the best beer is. Wolfe is an imperial stout, sipped slowly fireside, making time stand still. Rowling is Mike's Hard Lemonade Bakker is a sour saison consumed at room temperature: some will tell you it's the greatest beer they've ever had, while it's completely undrinkable for most Stephen King is New Castle - seems like it's really good and you've drank it for years, but now going back to it after experiencing so many other beers, the finish sucks and you can't quite remember why you drank it exclusively for so long. Pratchett is a cider made with champagne yeast - you're amused, it goes down easy, and you wonder why you don't drink it more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Robert Jordan = Budweiser. Everyone used to think it was good until better things came along and it was recognized for its mediocrity. This is an absolutely terrible comparison. When did anyone think Budweiser was good? What was wrong with those people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'll give it a shot... Christopher Paolini = O'Douls. There is absolutely no point in drinking it. No, Paolini is like Fosters. People who've never had beer think it's ok, but after having the real deal you realise it's camel's piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 All this talk of craft beers requires some sort of input from Mr X and X-Ray. They would be the ones to get cracking on developing On Fire With Hate in time for Boskone. Excuse me. I already called dibs on that beer name. I don't really associate Brettanomyces with hatred, only mild disappointment. If including the microbiology is important, then I think a classic Stingo (a soured strong dark ale, for those who aren't familiar with historical beer styles) would be a good option. You're right. It doesn't really go with a Brett beer, it's just that we happen to be brewing one next and I am super keen to use the name. I'll revert to my usual policy of recording all potential beer names and then waiting until the beer has been packaged before choosing one. We have a couple of longer term projects planned for sours, maybe it'll suit one of those. Our last brew was a white wine BA saison - could work for that. Maaaaaybe.

SkynJay Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This is an absolutely terrible comparison. When did anyone think Budweiser was good? What was wrong with those people?I thought it was spot on. After a few too many kegs of Keystone Light I loved the parties that actually had Bud. Drinking it now though? Not a chance.Said it many times; best part of leaving college is I never have to drink Key again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Oop North Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Conspiracy theory: What if this thread is just one massive attempt to promote The Lies of Locke Lamora ?! That would perhaps be the best promotion campaign for The Lies of Locke Lamora since The Lies of Locke Lamora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbcooper Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 First sentences from The Yeti This world was white. There were no shades, shapes, nor colours here. There was simply the purity of absolute whiteness since everything else was obliterated from existence. In every direction the eye could see, this blank void extended to infinity. The redundancy of the redundancy in those three sentences is staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
