I hope they have a really good fake Grey Wind prop for Robb's bitchin' new head. And that Cat claws her face off before they slit her throat. God, that whole chapter was amazing the first time I read it. Dammit why are there always 300 pages of nuncle-fucker-lemoncakes in between the good scenes?

To set up the good scenes. Most all of the good scenes come in the middle of a scene that seems like it's going to be another boring one (viserys's crowning, red wedding playing as a comedy of medieval manners, Sansa's stupid snow castle turning into Only Cat, the rat king moment in ADWD, etc). Without the boring scenes these wouldn't pop out as much.

Wait, what the hell "rat king moment" are you talking about?

I mean, I know drink a lot, both in general and while reading that turd, but I don't remember a rat king.

Was I hammered, or is this a metaphor?

That's like asking how much horsepower a horse has.

Apr 22, 2010
Edit: ^^ :argh: too slow with the horsepower analogy.

It would make sense that a normal targ would have a fire resistance equal to it's self. Just like one horse equals one horse power.

Stuff gets more complicated when secret targs come in to play. For instance, is this secret targ a full person or just a half? Does he ride on pigs or does he kiss wild pussy?

The formula for calculating this all out is quite simple. (Height + 1.5*R) / L
Where R is equal to amount of times raped before conception and L is total lemon cakes consumed.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I think mass should be a factor, not height. Obviously, the more massive you are the more fireproof your Targ should be. That way, if they are not fireproof enough, they can simply consume more honeyed dog to increase this attribute.

A secret targ is obviously 3/5 of a targ until the enGURMation proclamation after which they legally become full targs.

But then how does that explain Dany's being almost completely heat/fire-proof, while Egg and a bunch of other Targs died in a fire?

Instead waifishness should be the key metric.

Well, "waifishness" can be interpreted as an inverse relationship to mass.

Or, perhaps, my previous theorum is still applicable. After all, Dany may be extremely dense, we have no way to know.

Actually, we can infer Dany's mass through the apparent effort Drogon makes with her on his back in comparison to various prey animals. We can thus infer that she weighs less than a dothraki courser, but more than a small child! :science: Not so useful unfortuneately...

You think he would deliberately write a character like Daario in order to cast himself later as him in order to gently caress another character he created in a series filmed by HBO?

What kind of sick gently caress would plan something like that?!

Was Emilie Clarke known as Dany's actress before ADWD was published? If so, it explains a lot... about Daario.
