So what the hell was with Melisandre's "you know nothing, Jon Snow"? He ended the chapter on it like it was some huge reveal and then never brought it up again. It seemed like they were trying to make some Melisandre/Ygritte connection, but Jon Snow never finds it odd that this witch he just met is spouting off his dead gilfriend's catchphrase.

Or is it just a stupid "words are wind mine nuncle" situation? If so why only have one other person say it and put it at the very end of a chapter like it's a Big Deal?

Melisandre is Ygritte? Both were associated with red and Ygritte probably loved pushing demons out her vagina, they must be the same person. It makes sense really.

Here's what you're supposed to take away from that: Melisandre knows more about Jon than he thinks. WOAOOOOOOAOAAOOOAH

I've never understood the form of trolling where you simply post terrible contrary opinions in a humorless manor. For every person that gets that you're trolling and thinks it's funny, 100 others think you're serious and probably semi-retarded. What is it that you think you're gaining by tricking us into thinking you're mentally disabled?

I think the core issue here is where liking AFFC/ADWD = being mentally disabled. I find amusement that those two are so easily linked in here. For that matter, I consider this whole thread to be trolling when it isn't actually discussing ADWD.

Everyone knows he's trolling, it's just that he's also probably semi-retarded so it's kind of amusing to watch him try so hard to be funny.

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.

Give azure_horizon a break, guys. Would you criticise Johnny Ramone for thinking chord progressions are stupid, that all you need are three basic chords over and over? Hell no. A_h is the same way. He's a rebel, a punk, and someday soon he'll run away and join the Ice Capades. And then he'll die. Oh yeah.

No. He did die, but not because he joined the Ice Capades. He did go down to Frisco and join the SLA, however.

Two important issues:

1. What is the Monty Python reference in question? I remember reading one but forgot exactly what it was.

2. Melisandre says that to John because John really knows nothing. Rattleshirt, however knows a loving lot. Has to do with dick size.

3. We are all retarded

I had blocked this from my mind, because now that you spelled it out, I'm remembering my reaction to it again. Sigh. Googling brings up a couple other things people think might have been Python references, but I don't really think they count (Asha saying that her battle was like fighting "shrubberies" is borderline, I guess).

Winds of Winter should have a battle between R'hllor and the drowned god Cthulhu. Simply because it would make good television. Also, both have ridiculously hard names to pronounce.

:cthulhu: "Eh-y-ya-ya-yahaah - e'yayayaaaa…"
:supaburn: "R'llorllhllerlorllorrh!
:cthulhu: "ngh'aaaaa… ngh'aaa… h'yuh… h'yuh… !"
:supaburn: "the gently caress you say? I ain't your ngh'aaaaa!"


:zombie: "what loving language are you two speaking?"
