Haven’t seen Wagner’s Ring des Niebelungen, have you? (h/t the late, great Anna Russell)

We’ve more than once been shown that scene of Walder Frey and “the Freys and the Lannisters ...” quote, so they’re setting something up. Although it’d be interesting to see Lady Stoneheart finally show up, these days she’s less “Chekhov’s corpse” than a worn-out trope — and honestly, even among Littlefinger haters,…
I really want to see what kind of excuse Melisandre cobbles together for burning Shireen, and exactly how far it flies with Jon [we already know it’ll fly like a wet piano for Davos].
That would be so sweet, and at least give the kid a set o’ balls, but the prophecy also stipulates that she’ll see all three of her children dead before she snuffs it.
I think it relates to Tyrion’s efforts to gather wildfire.
Welcome, friend.
I’m disappointed to see such a meaningless, crappy recommendation for Cryptonomicon. It’s hilarious and heartbreaking and then hilarious again, with some of the most wonderfully snarky descriptions you’ll ever read. I’m neither a huge brain nor a mathematician, but this is a book I read every couple years just because…
Substantially more than 62, apparently.
You seem to misunderstand what academics are saying. Some people are sexually attracted to children. Some people enjoy fantasizing killing their enemies. Both “thoughts” are potentially stress-reducing. The problem arises when one attempts to act on the thoughts. Nobody in a responsible position in academia supports…
H is 8th letter, “88" is a common trope in supremacist groups.
Jury’s still out on Varys. I keep coming back to *the dude who bought him and cut him used his severed package for dark magic.*
Same here. I was delighted by the poem—which, yes, is a jab at foodies. I’ve thought for years that “analyze the theme of this poem” was a bogus and frustrating part of English class. Was I wrong? Maybe we need more of it?
All snark aside, I find Bernie Sanders wonderfully refreshing. There’s something bracing and—well, new and unusual about a candidate who focuses on the issues and refuses to get dragged into to discussions of petty tangential bullshit. I’m feelin’ the Bern!
Want to fix the links to the original three copypastas? Only the first link correctly takes it to the copypasta wiki.
Good for you, my dear, for taking steps to protect yourself before you made any moves.
Wow. In a perfect storm of whack-doodle, Trump U seems to have based its marketing techniques on those of Scientology.
I don’t see where I fit in. I’m a paranoid wreck, looking at the slightest buzzy feeling as a dangerous loss of control, running off to the corner to load comfort carbs in hope that it’ll take away the buzzy. I know that this isn’t my true personality, though, because I’m a cheerful Mary Poppins when stoned. It’s just…
Some of my proudest moments as a mom were when my son bragged to his buddies about my Nintendo prowess. I whupped Contra without the cheat code twice. Then I finally wrote down the damn code. Much easier then.
