Sal Paradise Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I actually want to read more. It must have been grueling to transpose his thoughts, then change every other word to its lesser known equivalent, thesaurus in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I can't recall the last time I saw the word "turgid" used. Excellent work. In other news, Does Tairy Himself Walk Among Us? Go read this post, (especially the "mailed fist of America" part) and then recall that RhaegarTar is from Maine. It's a scary thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Maid Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 "Baaaaa," the creature said in caprine fury. Rakehell, that was incredibly sweet. My thesaurus was well thumbed after that. Although I must object: Goats go: meeeeeeh. Sheep go: baaaaah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows the Yeard doesn't read fantasy, particularly not amoral trash like ASoIaF. He wouldn't be caught dead with a screenname like that, let alone a quote from the books as his title.

Mossman Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Mossman, its frightening how in synch your sentence was to the paragraph. Uh oh. Maybe that means I have a talent for crappy writing. I can't recall the last time I saw the word "turgid" used. Excellent work. I have this image of Beavis and Butthead snickering and saying, "You said turgid. Heh heh heh heh..."

The Pita Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Rakehell, that was incredibly sweet. My thesaurus was well thumbed after that. Although I must object: Goats go: meeeeeeh. Sheep go: baaaaah. That could be a brilliant title. Maybe something like Goodkind XXXIV: This is the last time we tell you Subtitle: Goats go meh. Sheep go bah.

Rakehell Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Rakehell, that was awesome... Are you sure you're not secretly the author of this profound "work"? Oh hell no, it's hard writing that poorly. On my own, I'm just a good enough writer to know I'm not very good. But this...wow.... And I did have to use a thesaurus for "pertinacious" and "rubicund".

Larry. Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 If goats go "meh," and sheep go "bah," then what sound do lemmings make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap Rowsdower Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Haw Haw. If you guys want an entertaining way to kill an hour or so, go to Youtube and type "Terry Goodkind" into the search engine and take a look at some of the things to that pop up. EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj8MqD3UsaY. Some kid did a book report on Stone of Tears and he created a video reenacting Richard killing a Mriswith! I hope that kid got an "A" on his report! Tthis has really motivated me- what's to stop us from doing something similar and posting it on youtube? I'd kill to see someone read one of Richard's speeches, but only while reading it they need to practically scream it while gesticulating wildly like Adolph Hitler.

The Pita Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'll grow out my teenager-fury mustache into a hitler mustache shape and raise my arm while proclaiming the evils of communism... sounds fun... I'll get my video camera and lose my razor! Ninja Edit-I just watched that video. I think that's a friend who I got addicted to WFR when I was still a fantard. He's still a rabid fan, so it makes sense. And it IS his voice... Gah... THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE! IT BE DRIVING ME INSANE! Edit Less Ninja - Finished watching the video. His name wasn't on it. I can relax. This post is officially stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 If goats go "meh," and sheep go "bah," then what sound do lemmings make? "Bartender! Another round!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigoTheCarpathian Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 "Bartender! Another round!" I like this, or "Ow, my liver". The great thing about lemmings is that they will do their drinking together, whereas Objectivists probably drink alone...probably in their underwear, on a toilet.

The Shining Enigma Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I am quite sure that many do not feel the need to drink at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigoTheCarpathian Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I am quite sure that many do not feel the need to drink at all. And no one faults you for it...I just assumed that if one was all about the "individual" and were of the drinking persuasion, then one probably ends up drinking alone.

diabloblanco18 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I am quite sure that many do not feel the need to drink at all. There are many other ways to escape the cold realities of life, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Welcome back Zap Rowsdower!! I have missed you greatly. I was extremely worried about you; I felt certain that Steven Seagal had kidnapped you and was forcing you to drink his lightning. I am quite sure that many do not feel the need to drink at all. What's going on with the weird font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shining Enigma Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I agree with you: the forms in which we find our escape can vary considerably; the pleasures I over-indulge in may certainly throw you off, and vice versa...Of the safer forms of escape though, reading is undoubtedly the most beneficial and the most rewarding. Though I suppose there are risks present there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
