Same here. I love Rush though. My wife and I saw them at Red Rocks two years ago. It was pretty great. I would say that it was the best show I have ever been to, but seeing Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes was pretty awesome too. I just had a son in January so I guess those days are over now. Totally worth it though. I can't wait to get him reading ASOIAF. I think that 5 or 6 years old is a good age to get him started of GRRM. Hahaha.

So am I correct that the prevailing opinion of the readers here is that the Dunk & Egg books are worth reading? Are they on Kindle?

A theory: Jon Snow is in fact Lightbringer. Rhaegar stabbed Lyanna with his sword and the result was the birth of Jon. Tell me this isn't plausible.

I'll buy into it, though I really can't see how it ties into Sister Hazel c. 1997...and that makes me sad.

Also, I'm assuming by "sword" you mean "glistening manhood".

All hail Jon Snowbringer!

Rhaegar was obviously that well endowed. Why else would Jon Connington fall for him so swiftly after seeing him in the locker room?

I forget, was it actually established in ADWD that Daenerys ended up riding the male pear riding the pale mare? I know that's what her lovely adventures in the Dothraki Sea implies, but doesn't that mean she's effectively dying?

Jon Arryn is Robert's stepdad who is generally cool and let's his stepson drink beer.

Robert wants to go to prom with his best buddy Ned's sister, who is a total babe. Ned's okay with it because he knows under the party boy Spicoli surfer dude act, Robert is actual a good dude, and besides, Lyanna always goes for these douchebag bro types, which he just can't stand. Ned pours himself into his studies so he can get into a good college and Lyanna wants to smoke cigarettes and drink vodka and pass out at parties and act like a total bitch, and just generally piss away her opportunities.

So in comes the mayor's son. He's a handsome pretty-boy rich jock douchebag with a Camaro and after the big football game he asks Lyanna to the prom.

Meanwhile, Ned's dad and brother have been running the family tire store for years, and the dickbag mayor rezones everything and pulls Ned's dad's business license with some shady poo poo in the city council.

So Ned and Robert are pretty much like "OMG gently caress these Targaryen jerks, they think they're so much better than us."

A few months later, near graduation, Robert ends up kicking Rhaegar's rear end after gym class, and Rhaegar cries a lot and his reputation is ruined. Ned finds out Lyanna was teen pregnant.

After graduation, Robert, being pretty much the most liked guy in town, runs a campaign against the crooked mayor. He has a windfall come his way when he starts dating Tywin's (a city councilman's) dughter. He totally dominates the elections and the Targs move away in disgrace. A lot of people question his authority, being the youngest mayor ever, and he bankrupts the city on conventions and political "fundraisers". But he's generally well regarded by the people.

"I'd say it's nothing personal, but corporations are people, too."
The intro is a muppet version of GRRM on his drawing board, creating the characters with one stroke of his brush, killing half of them off with another. There's also short muppet segments in the middle, usually with his maid yelling something like "I hope nobody eats this weasel pie while it's cooling on the window sill!" from off screen, then the muppet looks into the camera and makes that weird scrunched face expression, end of scene. The aftermath is shown in the credits. There's also an episode two episodes in which a 13 year old Dany from the future comes alive from the drawing board and the muppet fucks her.

We are talking about a cartoon here, right?

Some crazy kids from the next town over are always throwing rocks at the abandoned building where Ben and "the crows" (the schoolchildren's nickname for the goth kids) hang out, so they take their bikes out occasionally to spy on them and maybe give them wet willies.

He also promises to back the incumbent mayor until the 11th hour, when he shows up at a rally and drops a huge scandal bomb he was keeping a secret...and it is the mayor's own rally. The mayor loses it, and tries to hit Tywin...but Jaimie is there as "security" and punches him the face before he can do it.

Sandor is his little brother, burned in a house-fire that many suspect Gregor set. He is also a jock, but doesn't hang out with the other jocks and generally considers them to be douchebags. Acts like a dick, but will defend nerds and such against his brother's bullying.
