These books piss me the gently caress off. Why do I keep reading this crap? It's like stabbing my own balls. gently caress GRRM in the rear end with a red hot spear. :argh:


book 4: When she woke the next morning, she was blind.

So, any bets on the asinine and frustrating way Barristan the Bold is going to die in the next book? He's being way too cool for GRRM universe to live, so I'd assume he's going to die of common dysentery... or get snacked on by dragons while Dany watches but is unable to intervene.


Also, does anyone find it a little bit creepy that GRRM is writing new books at the same time while HBO will be making them into TV series? Some actor looking at GRRM wrong at the set? Uh-oh, next book his or her character is going to die of humiliation and/or buttrape. :smug:

This is a sort lemoncakes esque question but do people actually eat lampreys? Lamprey pie seems to be a perennial favorite on either side of the Narrow Sea.
Dunno about pies but around here they eat them roasted.

It has very fatty meat and no bones (just some cartilage). Not a big surprise it used to be a delicacy back in the day.

The most useful map I've seen has been this:

Warning - it has some book spoilers with regards to ownership of various castles and towns, but on the other hand that's the cool part. If you forgot where the hell say Lyddens or Dondarrions or Mallisters came from, you can search the PDF for the names.

The big, wild fucker is described as having a wingspan of 20 feet at one point.
Which is no way enough for a girl to ride along on the back. :colbert:

Why don't the Others go around the Wall when the Milkwater freezes?

For real. The wall is really freaking stupid at that climate.

I'm very curious as to how he's planning on paying all of that gold to the company. 100 thousand golden dragons? Yowza.

He's going to use the mercs to gain a position of power, then send all his debtors to die against a superior enemy force. If they get slain, cool, no more debt. If they win, well, there's the plunder to pay them.

I kind of agree with you. That said, I wonder if over the past decade he saw all of us sperging about R+L=J and such and chooses to take them in a different direction just to gently caress with us. The little details that lead to conspiracies are great fun, as long as he doesn't yank the carpet from under them.

Regarding R + L = J, I do know what it means, but I did use to wonder what the J was supposed to mean in the Renly + Loras equation. Obscure gay slang for something? :)
