Brienne Oathkeeper Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 You say "it is mine own" instead of "it's mine". You write down "pease" on your shopping list. You refer to the Detroit Lions as "House Lannister" and the Minnesota Timberwolves as "House Stark". You stumble into the emergency room, asking for a maester.

Mad Knight Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I often find myself spelling things as they are spelled in the books rather than in real life. Ser instead of sir, or maester instead of master, or Jaime instead of Jamie. And as has been mentioned I say mayhaps a lot. Between that and my tendency to quote Star Wars lines I think everybody at work thinks I'm nuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlot Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Is maester really a misspelling? I always thought it was pronounced "may-ster." It's pronounced "my-ster" in my internal monologue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Regrs Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's pronounced "my-ster" in my internal monologue. I guess I just played too much Final Fantasy X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-sleepy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Actually it is may-ster, but I pronounce it my-ster anyways. Too much ASOIAF? You're looking at fan art and come across one of Sandor Clegane and notice his burned side is on the wrong side and comment about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.T. Phipps Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 You know you've been reading too much A Song of Ice and Fire when.... 1. After every purchase, you say "A Lannister always pays his debts." 2. Whenever someone pulls out a credit card, you ask "Was that gained by the Iron Price?" 3. You refer to California as Dorne. 4. You believe the Starks hail from Canada. 5. You get annoyed that the Lord of the Rings blatantly copied the relationship between Jon and Sam. 6. You refer to the Pope as the High Septon. 7. You think Mass would be a lot more interesting with a flaming sword. 8. You attempt to settle parking tickets via trial by combat. 9. Any blonde children immediately become suspect. 10. You vote by whichever candidate will support a Crime Policy involving "taking the black." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lord Dragon Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 When you read on here that there is a facebook page for Robb Stark and then you go search for it and become irrationally upset that you can't find it and become his friend. I just did this, but it was worth it because I joined the group, I Pledge My Life and Lands to House Stark of Winterfell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruella_Da_Oz Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 You use catchlines from ASOIAF... and you live in russia. And nobody you know really understands English. You annoy people when they ask you for something and you reply "would that I could, would that I could". You read some harmless medieval fantasy, like, say, Brother Cadfael (formulaic middle ages detectives), and keep expecting shit to hit the fan, good guys to turn out traitors and slaughter everyone including lead character. You catch yourself expecting the worst, and have to remind yourself that this is not ASOIAF. Whatever you are reading, you keep expecting some evil, masterful plot of villains that nobody saw coming to ruin plans of the good guys and lead to their bloody death. When it doesn't happen, you feel cheated and whole situation feels unreal. You put the worst spin on everything - if parents try to separate lovers, you guess that they may be right - how high are the chances that dreamguy will turn out to be psychopath and start beating his beloved bloody? Good point about "ser". It also looks closer to how we spell "sir" in Russia, so it just looks more natural to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Good To Be True Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 A newsman in the UK is called Jon Snow. And I find that amazingly funny. And I say It Is Known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Knight Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I had another "You've been reading too much ASoIaF..." moment the other day. I got pissed off at some moron who ran a red light and almost ran into me and I actually said "The Others take you!" out loud. Thankfully I was alone in my truck at the time...

Night Watchman Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 A newsman in the UK is called Jon Snow. And I find that amazingly funny. He's my favorite Newsman, he's so professional (I bet he's ASoIaF fan as well. ) You refer to yourself in the third person as 'A man.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turlough Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I work in a call center, and one of our customers yesterday was named Braden Frey. I was like "wtf, did the starks and freys finally have a marriage and produce an offspring?" IDK, Braden sounds like a Stark name to me. I keep my eye out for ASoIaF names at my work. That's the first close one I've come across, though I'm sure there are some Starks out there. I swear, if I ever come across someone named Cersei, I'm quitting my job.

MTGAP Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Actually it is may-ster, but I pronounce it my-ster anyways. Too much ASOIAF? You're looking at fan art and come across one of Sandor Clegane and notice his burned side is on the wrong side and comment about it. Actually, all the fan art has the burns on the wrong side. That's the side I imagine it on though, burns on the left side are always cooler. Look at Two Face. When watching The Dark Knight, all I could think about was how Sandor would completely take Two-Face apart. (Is Twoface one word, or hyphenated, or neither?)

MTGAP Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Good point about "ser". It also looks closer to how we spell "sir" in Russia, so it just looks more natural to me. I propose that we ASOIAF readers change the spelling of "sir" to "ser", because "ser" makes more sense. Not only should you spell it "ser", you should spell it "ser" openly and loudly. Spellings can change, and it starts somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
