"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."
Overheard two girls today at lunch talking about the show, and how they were disappointed that nothing had happened with the girl and her dragons, and how they'd been overusing a bunch of lines and words.

Oh man, Rickon will come back, seeming bat poo poo crazy, but focused. He'll have the backing of a rag-tag rabble of mad men and cannibals, along with the bigget, nastiest dire wolf ever seen this side of the wall. He'll proclaim himself Lord of Winterfell, and grind everyone who stands in his way between two stones, acting like the ruthless bad rear end Rob never had the balls to be.

When the next book comes out. You know, never.

If you ask me, we changed Bad after we started actively spoiling people who wandered in without reading the thread, which I believe predates hating Gurm, but was after ASOS had been out for a few years.

Oh hey, I'm the fourth highest poster in the thread, with the apologist right behind me.

I obviously didn't make it to the Bad Thread until sometime after July 12, 2009. Probably a month or two later. I remember being pretty cheesed I had missed out on getting a tag when they were being doled out like candy right around my regdate.

Responding to a raft of fake spoilers:

Cowboy Kyle: Bran and Hodor like to play at night when they are alone.

KillRoy: The best part was when Bran warged into Hordor, then had sex with his own unconcioius body. I can understand why he finished so fast , I can't last that long when my dog is watching either, let alone a big, sexy , furry direwolf watching.


Nothing beats the Asha in the " Kingsmoot Bukakke". Didn't see that one coming.

Cowboy Kyle:"Hodor is not to be beaten like a mule" can mean so many things.

In other news I have reached April of 2008 in the proto-Bad Thread and GRRM is not yet an absolute fucker. However, there has been vigorous debate over the pronounciation of Aeron as "damp hair" or "damfare"

So what was the consensus here? I guess eventually the show should give us the correct answer, assuming they don't completely cut Aeron.

That's what I assumed, but it seems weird that there wouldn't be a space between the words.

EDIT: I guess there's no space in Kingslayer either. Still, "damp hair" is a pretty lame nickname for a guy who drowns people all day.

Probably the same reason I do, Margaery Tyrell ironically trying to bang a fabulously gay king.

Unless its a shameful boner from the captain's daughter. That screencap from earlier used to white knight her was not accurate, because it was her cross-eyed blank expression as Theon does a series of awkward, slow thrusts from behind. Say what you will about the attractiveness/ugliness of the girl, it was that look crossed with Theon's lovely insults and generally retarded dialogue that made it hilarious.

Edit: or maybe from that nerd fantasy you posted.

I always parsed it as dam-fair, like it was a french word. I was really surprised, and felt really stupid, when I realized it was supposed to be damp-hair. I still prefer my original use, because it just sounds cooler, like a title of some sort instead of people openly mocking a holy man.

I also thought it was Damfair because it's still a fantasy series and those throw out weird names and titles all the time.

The following books don't slow down, either. And now that you know how capable martin is of throwing curveballs, DO NOT READ THIS THREAD!

There was about a 2 year gap where I would drop in on the bad thread about once every few months. It was like visiting the same roadkill by the side of the road for months and months: Each time I checked on it I noticed the same things: it was exactly as I had last seen it before, It migrated towards an uglier and more decomposed version of its former self, it was a little ruder of a sight, yet a little more familiar and comfortable a sight as well, and it was enjoying the anticipated books of its cherished author just as much as you'd expect out of any piece of roadkill to be doing the same. Anyway, here's one of my random checkin posts where i didn't just lurk and go back to living my life:

Aug 01, 2009 posted:

So my girlfriend's mom noticed via her own book forum that GRRM posted some update recently on his site. She knows we're waiting on a book from him so she did the neighborly thing and mentioned that we should see the update and that maybe his new book is out. It was so blissfully naive that it was downright cute.

So I just wanted to stop by to see if the thread's postcount doubled in the span of a few days. It didn't so that means no book, but I figured I'd say hello again and I'll see you all around in another 4-6 months!
She's now my fiancee, and I'm responsible for introducing her and her whole family to GURM. They're probably planning a Red Wedding for me.
