Stephen Fry is an English actor, writer, wordsmith all 'round brilliant person who has appeared on a BBC word game program where the challenge is to make up sentences on the spot without using certain words - if you do you're disqualified. I know him mainly because friends of mine are big Stephen Fry fans. He may be best known here in the states for his role in V for Vendetta.

Fragile Bird Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I may be showing my age (or my tv viewing habits) but Fry starred along with Hugh Laurie in the Jeeves and Wooster tv series of the novels, Fry as Jeeves the butler and Laurie as Bertie Wooster, the idiot gentleman he served. He also did a BBC series, Stephen Fry’s America, where he travelled across the States showing the USA to Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Netflix has that series? eta: Not on Netflix, but on You Tube there are numerous whole episodes of Jeeves and Wooster. I watched a few minutes of the first one. Hugh Laurie had to pull out all the comedic stops to portray the clueless, bumbling Wooster. Quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Howland has held on to his lead, but my heavens, Emmit has charged up the outside with an entry that struck a cord! Congratulations! Dolorous Gabe and RhaenysBee are certainly still in the race, a good entry can get the win. Everyone pretty well shared the same kind of score with so many votes going to Death overcome. Thank-you for jumping into the game, Castellan! I did like your Red Wedding reference! Final round coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 ROUND 7, PART B - JON SNOW AEGON TARGARYEN I really wanted to come up with something off the wall (ooooh, look, I made a pun!), even considering Walder Frey for fun, but he died last season. I did not want to kill an animal. I hope I did not need to use spoilers here, but Jon Snow doesn't die. However, considering the way he was presented this final season, a number of us may have wanted to kill him. Seriously. I was cursing when he got the knives at the Wall, but am happy to pull out a shiv now. And it does feel right to end the round with him. He falls off the Wall. He falls off a dragon. Dany stabs him. Arya stabs him. He cuts his hand slicing a bagel and dies of sepsis. He's Mad Aegon redux and sets himself on fire. Killing him off makes up for some seething anger in the natives! Your letters: nbedf bylymg scurscb emsawdim In the cealc You have until next Friday, July 19th, at 11:00pm EST to get your entries in. I really hate these letters, but you guys always come up with stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 ROUND SIX, PART B VOTING - DAENERYS TARGARYEN Poor Dany. 1. Euron wields navy? Kind of ... er ... forgot. 2. Queen Dany butchered with gruesome latte. 3. Entering Westeros, nobody kneels. Overmatched, empress falls. 4. Qartheen debt. Brutal warlocks garotte lady. 5. Qyburn’s dungeons. Butchered, woken, ghastly looking. 6. Daggers underestimated, gets killer infection, throne's overarching end. 7. Olenna poisons fabulous dinner. Dany, "yummy!" You all told me the letters were tough. I think this round is not as strong as the other rounds have been, and the blame lies in those letters. So tell me if I need to scrap those Jon Snow ones! Voting deadline is Friday, July 19th, at 11:00 pm EST. The game is wide open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hmm I think there are some pretty great entries and I really love the variety. Can’t wait to kill Jon too. 1. 4 2. 2 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
