Seems pretty thorough for a Sansa chapter, about what you'd expect if you took out all the food and her talking about her "tummy".

Thank God HBO made the series, now he has to have it done by 2015. Otherwise he'd die before finishing the next book and it would have to be "co-authored".

Yep. And gin is for nerds in stupid hats (fedora/bowler/etc).

Gin owns, gently caress you. The taste of pine sol that rotgut gin has is more pleasant than the turpentine taste rotgut vodka has. And anything else costs more.

And it's hard to get classier than the good old G&T.

Remember way back in the first book when Gregor was raiding the riverlands and Ned ordered Tywin to take responsibility for the actions of his bannerman? What does that say about Ned when his own bannermen were running a rape/torture/mutilation/flaying/human hunting carnival over in the Dreadfort?

I like to play the GRRM drinking game.

Pit on the AFFC audiobook and pick a Sansa/Alayne chapter. Every time a chill goes up your spine as you realize GRRM jerked off as he wrote it, do a shot.

Hats can be a nice accent to an ensemble, and they're practical as well. Lots of variety, and generally stylish. I've had a few over the years, and they have their place. I don't get wearing hats all the time, though.

Why wear a hat non-stop?!

Irrefutable fact:

People who own fedoras:

1. Chose HD-DVD in the "format wars".

2. Chose Zune in the "mp3 player wars".

3. Masturbate to My Little Pony

4. Smell like NesQuik and moldy socks.

Irrefutable Fact.

My 20th birthday was heavily messed-with by a guy who wanted us all to do a bunch of shots of Chartreuse. Only he kept calling it "monk water" and didn't know the actual name, just that it was a colour. Cue a two-minute game with the waiter trying to even ask if they had it, at which point he ordered six shots for the four of us, drank three of them himself, and passed out repeatedly during the movie, only to wake up angry and confused.

So last night while feverish from a infection I figured out the entire story of A Song Of Ice and Fire.

Jon Snow's father is Moon Boy. Moon Boy is Jon Snow. Arya Starks father is Jon Snow. Daenerys Targaryen's father is also Jon Snow. After a crushing defeat in battle at the wall by the combined forces of not-Zombie Jon Snow, Dany and her dragons, and Arya somehow the Great Other will destroy the sun. Jon Snow will then fly to the moon on the back of one of the dragons and learn from the other dragons who live inside the moon (as in that Dothraki legend) how to time travel. He will time travel with his three two sibling/children to the beginning of time to defeat the Great Other in the past by ripping out his true love Ygritte (he time traveled to just before her death) and throwing it into the sky, to become Lightbringer aka the sun. Jon is Azor Azhai but not reborn just actually the first one. After he does this he knows he has to time travel to create the situation that allowed him to defeat the Others so he goes and in disguise as Ned hatefucks Catelyn Stark (making Arya actually a bastard, just like she referenced asking about in aGoT) and Rhaella Targ. He then becomes Moon Boy (get it, from the moon) in order to watch and make sure that everything happens according to plan. Jon Snow also goes back in time to found the Stark Dynasty and build the Wall (binding one of the dragons under it) and Winterfell (binding another dragon) and sending the third to Valyria with Dany to found the Targaryan Dynasty and Arya founds the Faceless Men in Bravos.

ALSO the reason dragons are called dragons is the first people who saw them after Jon Snow created the sun misunderstood the name Drogon as being the name of the kind of creature instead of his proper name and it eventually corrupted over time to Dragon.

So not only is Jon Snow Moon Boy and Azor Azhai he is Brandon the Builder (taking his notreallybrothers name) and also his own great great great great great (a lot more greats) grandfather as well as his own father (since he is a distant ancestor of Lyanna, his mother/concubine.) Also Howland Reed is future Bran after he wargs into a Child of the Forest.

What you just wrote is the Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
