A lot of people load them blade up so the tip doesn’t get snapped off when you close the dishwasher. And I have no problem with that, if the person who does it is the person who unloads it.

It’s almost 400 pages, so it’s only a novella because King usually writes many more pages for his novels.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Stand was 4 days? 5? That would work. The original Stand was 800-ish pages right? Or was it already over 1000 before the extended version release?

+1 Little Leaguer pancake.

Yup, it was either this or Lion of Ireland for me, if the drop-dead money came rolling in.

He should never have lost the beard. I know it’s hard to keep a beard clean and do the quantities of coke he was doing, but that beard was art.

For The Talisman I’ve always wanted a Shogun, Roots, Centennial-type mini-series TV event, but this is going back to when it was first released. I guess these days you hope for a 5 year run of prestige TV? I don’t see a movie doing it justice.

They had this in my middle school library in 1980. It had never been checked out. The librarian let me keep it for helping her during the year, since I had kept it checked out all year anyway.

You’re right, I have thought both of those things at different times. I guess we can agree that he ends up dead. Eventually.

The truly scary thing is that he has only gotten more handsome as he’s aged.

I have wanted exactly this for almost 40 years. I could never figure out how a studio could make it, and I still have some doubts, but god love them for trying!

I’ve read this story probably more than any other book, and I was always under the impression he dies.

No, no, I absolutely do my job, whatever character I’m playing. I clear those nests as Winston or DVa every time. I just hate it. A lot.

Makes sense. I still hate having to Ape Dive into a turret nest. There’s something about the Symm beam that makes me panic, whoever I’m playing. Symm is nightmare fuel (for me).

... Holy shit, you’re right. I totally misread that conversation.

I believe the only thing you can see is a healthpack your Sombra has hacked. And your teammates if you’re a healer, obviously.

We were actually talking about Winston, but it has about as much to do with Symm as your response about how I was a shitty Mercy did.

Is this true? This was all years ago, when we had a different, older dishwasher. I’m not sure I can change my ways enough to find out, to be honest.

That’s great, if the Mercy is game. Which she usually isn’t in the Gold/Plat zone I usually Queue into.

Symm was my choice of hero before I watched a second of gameplay. Her aesthetics were perfect. Unfortunately she was not in my play-style wheelhouse at all.
