Lord Spiral Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Quote “Storms, boy. What did you do? Hit a lighteyes?” “Yes,” Kaladin said. Then punched him. He bashed Roshone right in the face. A solid hit, exactly like Hav had taught him. Thumb outside of his fist, he connected with the first two knuckles of his hand across Roshone’s cheekbone, then followed through to slide across the front of the face. Rarely had he delivered such a perfect punch. It barely even hurt his fist. I let out a whoop when reading/ hearing that (audiobook). It was just so deserved. And delivered in slow motion too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lectured by my own daughter again. I think you have to be a parent to see the humor in it One thing I really like about Jasnah is that she's an advanced enough know-it-all nerd to realize that she's doing this, but she still can't stop herself completely. (This from someone who still keeps a running tally in his head about how many questions he has answered in any class or meeting with a strictly self-enforced STOP TALKING cutoff). Here's a goofy one I somehow missed the first time through, when the Shadesmar crew is hiking to Thaylen City and Shallan is lagging behind the extremely in-shape soldier guys: Quote Without Stormlight, Shallan trailed farthest behind, Pattern at her side. Exhaustionspren circled in the air above, like large chickens. Large chickens circling exhausted people.... Shallan literally has vultures flying in circles above her head like a cartoon character 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Order Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 When wit slips out just as the Inn keeper comes in. And after all the strange thing thing wit had said to him the inn keeper tells shallan "he said he'd treat me like a king". I was dying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke of Lizards Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Adolin: "We certainly are an odd bunch" Pattern: "Yes. Seven people. Odd" I couldn't contain myself. I had to go into a fake coughing fit so the people in my office wouldn't know what I was up to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Chaperone Pattern, you glorious, amazing spren, you! So many other moments, too.

deddinty Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 One I totally missed the first time through, but had me laughing at the mental image of it: Roomba crabs Quote “This was casually eaten by wild beasts that were wide and flat, like walking discs, with claws only on the underside to shove the grain into their mouths.” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scyron Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Quote “Maybe you should let me teach you how to use a side sword. You’re pretending to be head of our bodyguards tonight, and you’re lighteyed today. It looks strange for you to walk around without a side sword.” “Maybe I’m one of those punchy guys.” Adolin stopped in place and grinned at Kaladin. “Did you just say ‘punchy guys’?” “You know, ardents who train to fight unarmed.” “Hand to hand?” “Hand to hand.” “Right,” Adolin said. “Or ‘punchy guys,’ as everyone calls them.” Kaladin met his eyes, then found himself grinning back. “It’s the academic term.” “Sure. Like swordy fellows. Or spearish chaps.” “I once knew a real axalacious bloke,” Kaladin said. “He was great at psychological fights.” “Psychological fights?” “He could really get inside someone’s head. Axalacious bloke, I love it 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kered Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 They've already probably been said. Lopen swearing the Second Ideal on accident. I laughed then snorted out loud in the middle of a crowded Starbucks. Lopen caressing the ground, trying to fly. Pretty much all of the witty banter from Syl. Of course, Pattern's lines in Part 1. Again laughed out loud in the same Starbucks. They'll have me committed any day now. Kaladin making fun of how Adolin dresses. Jasnah's savage burn to Amaram. I let out an involuntary "You go girl" and woke up my fiance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazenella Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) When Dalinar casually strolls into a Highstorm and flips of a god damnation Thunderclast made me both thing "damnation" and laugh at the same time. Also literally every exchange between Dalinar and Lift Quote "Do you have a weapon?" "Nope. Can't read."

Odium can't get a word in sideways, Dalinar just keeps talking right over him. This is literally the climax page. There is no way you saw that humor until a reread.

Grajilla Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hello everyone, Can someone explain me what is funny about this moment? "“Highly unlikely,” Shallan agreed. “They keep this deck well maintained, so there really aren’t any splinters.” “With my luck, I’d find one anyway.” “I had a splinter once,” Shallan noted. “It eventually got out of hand.” “You . . . you did not just say that.” “Yes, you obviously imagined it. What a sick, sick mind you have, Kaladin.” I am spanish and I don't understand the joke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also saying that the splinter was removed, also 'out of her hand' - a little pun. The sick mind thing I imagine is about the Vorin safehand, and how any joke about a Vorin woman's hand has a 50/50 chance of being inappropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the meaning of "got out of hand", perhaps I am not getting the meaning of splinter? Is there another meaning apart from "sliver of wood"?

It is a tiny sliver of wood, but what makes it a splinter in this case is that it's embedded in someone's skin and can be painful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
