Jaxom 1974 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Shall we designate it as a drink of Truth, then? I don't know. Tequila comes from blue agave, yet celery is green... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I don't know. Tequila comes from blue agave, yet celery is green... Mezcal comes from green agave, and it has a worm in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecchi-Oni Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'd prefer watching the movie to reading the book. His style is truly atrocious. He tries to be poetic with his description of a puddle in the ground, for example, but when we get to the first combat scene in the book... its not only confusing and lacking in anything resembling choreography, but it is completely unexciting, and the characters walk away unshaken and without any scratches. I'd trust the Hollywood producers to think of something better. Oh, but may I ask something quickly to those who have read the whole thing through: If it is so horrible, then why is it so popular, and on the recieving end of so much praise from critics? Is it because of the deep philosophies in the book? Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid. Sad to say it but the Yeard got that part right.

Ecchi-Oni Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Zap was right, the Goodkind threads are mating and spawning deamon children. Daemon? Do I sence a fellow warhammer 40k fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecchi-Oni Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The Statue scene was particularly wrong-headed; the idea was that the evil commie Imperial Order only had statues of ugly people and horrible things, but then Dick carved this wonderful statue of noble happy people and it made everyone convert to his cause... maybe his statue looked like this or this - yep, in the real world, who's making the noble statues? It's the commies. Do some research Tairy, you cretin. Min asking Tairy to do research is like creating fine art on toilet paper. And yes nobble statues do sound a lot like social realism.

Piper Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Dammit. Is there no drink celerious enough? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Wild Turkey Bourbon. Why, you might ask, would I go with this choice? A number of reasons. First, bourbon is a uniquely American drink, and I think TG would agree that the only place a beverage of Truth™ should come from is the Good ol’ US of A (jingoism is always worth extra points, so far as TG is concerned). Next, consider the brand name: Wild Turkey. Being wild, this drink is no one’s slave, is living life for itself, choosing life, pretty much being the Richard Rahl of bourbons. You imagine a drink that would have no qualms kicking the cork out of an eight year old drink, and the first thing that pops into your head is, “damn, that’s a wild drink.†The Turkey, though, is the clincher. Benjamin Franklin, founding father and American hero (double jingoism points), wrote a letter to his daughter espousing the virtue of the turkey: "For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him. "With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country . . . "I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America . . . He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on." As you can see, there is no nobler bird than the turkey, which should mean there is no nobler drink than Wild Turkey Bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosicus Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Celery provides a great side-dish for any drink, but Wild Turkey can stand alone. I guess. I haven't had that stuff since I was a wee lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecchi-Oni Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Speaking of drinks those caffeine-sugar-boose fizzlers are definately the drinks of truth if you use them after a night of boozing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
