Tar is just a wee bit thicker than that, old son.

This tar was actually a puddle formed by a cigarette smoker hacking up loogies and spitting them into a hole over the course of several years.

He is maybe a little dehydrated at this point.

I tried to use an old bookmark for my evil smiley and lost the entire post so I have to start over from scratch... that will teach me !!!

 

 

 

I'm off work until 1-2-13...not all paid, but off work is off work !!!

You don't strike me as the kind to get all gussied up for Christmas.

Leather cleans off pretty easily *shaves Grampy's head down to his uvula*

Another biological term, I assume?

It's that miniature schlong at the back of your throat.

 

And having established that context, imagine what the gag reflex equates to.

I thought I already responded to this last year but it must not have taken... something naughty, as I remember... maybe it was an omen that I should not submit naughty replies!

 

 

Well, I finished AMoL.  I know.  Nobody really cares what my opinion of it was any more than I really care what anybody else thought about it.  But, this is Gwampy we're dealing with.

 

In all fairness to Brandon Sanderson, the book was not what RJ would have given us.  As should be expected.  I can't imagine trying to write a book based on the notes of a man who is dead.  "Uhm... what did you mean here?".  Silence.  Brandon's style is different from what we got used to before RJ died.  The book was OK but not as good as I would have expected from RJ.  I think I completely beat THAT horse to death, didn't I?

 

I liked the story for the most part.  It wasn't hard to follow and I don't feel that I need to reread it for clarification.  The Last Battle was long... as it should be.  I didn't feel the loss of the main characters who were killed off... they were there one moment and gone the next.  I almost put some spoilers in just now... thank god for the backspace key.  I almost felt how sickening it must have been to be involved in all that carnage.  Almost.

 

I could have used a little more RJ fluff at the end.  It left me feeling... incomplete.  "Here.  Read all of these books.  The end.".  I don't know WHAT i was expecting but I didn't get it.  I probably shouldn't be poisoning anyone's point of view who might not have read the book yet.  Sorry if I did.  You very well might disagree with my viewpoint so there would be no harm done.

 

They left out the part where the Tinkers and Aiel get together in the glass columns and become Jenn Aiel.  Maybe that will be in the books that follow AMoL that they haven't announced yet (encore after the final curtain).

 

I came to DM several years ago when I first got started with the series.  It has been a long enjoyable ride.  It's time to move on.  Just like many of the other chapters in my life that have come to a close, it's time for me to say goodbye to DM.  I appreciate the friendship that many of you have shown to me over the years.  Since I don't participate in any other social activity this has been a good escape for me.  I sometimes miss the daily RP entries in the Tinker thread.  I've enjoyed putting on performances in the First Fool thread.  When I first joined DM I enjoyed the General Discussion forum.  All good things must pass.  I will probably pop in now and again but I don't plan to spam regularly.

 

Thank you all.

 

Love,

Gramps

Huh. *puts mice in your shoes*

rj would have given us 20 more books. and still no ending.

 

bs gave me a scene with mat.

 

I forgive him. I heart him very much now, really.

 

give me a break, gramps y'ain't been talking wot here for years. would be damn strange if you were.

Also Sanderson is clearly not as aroused by BDSM as Jordan was. I sometimes wonder if he was typing with only one hand.

I don't wonder.

Also RJ's passing means I'll probably never get confirmation on my suspicion that he was a closeted transgender.

exhumation?

... An autopsy doesn't really tell you much about a person's psychological state, and I don't think they've yet confirmed that bit about the brain being built differently, if there's even anything left of it five plus years later.

ah, I thought you meant physically. still, might get a clue from the outfit.

Well like I said, not likely to be much useful flesh left by now. And I suspect it needs clarification that by "closet" I implied that he never acted on it and may even have not been aware himself.

i think he probably did everything he ever wanted to do at least three times.  be a darned shame if he didn't.

I don't think having your Gordon cut off is something you can really do more than once.

 

Jeez that snow is thick; it's like cotton candy dropping out of the sky.

... as i understand it from the cases i've reviewed... it's kind of a long process, takes years.  true, the cutting bit isn;t usually re-done... but it's not unheard of....

 

i've seen quite a few people stop and start the hormone therapy and drag it out... forever... 

 

is it snowing already?  we're supposed to be clear until tuesday.  odd year when my mountain isn't getting most of the snow.

You're about a thousand miles NNE of me, you know, give or take. Anyway it wasn't particularly heavy and there's already only a thin layer left in the grass.

 

And anyway, my point was that not acting on the impulse does not make a person any less TG.

 

Going back to Gwampy's statement, large swaths of AMoL do smack of a writer for whom the novelty had long since worn off and who just kind of wanted to get the damn thing over with.
