Shard of Order Posted December 5, 2017 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

Duke of Lizards she/her Posted December 5, 2017 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. 3
Foxx she/her Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Chaperone Pattern, you glorious, amazing spren, you! So many other moments, too. Lopen and his reassuring the ground was one of the best Lopen moments ever. Everything that guy does is brilliant. 2
deddinty Posted December 7, 2017 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

"Drehy, you are literally courting a man." I laughed so hard at this my roommate thought I was going to pass out 3
scyron he/him Posted December 8, 2017 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 11

Kered he/him Posted December 8, 2017 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
TheMediocreMind Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Dalinar's response to the Saddeus soldiers in the beginning. "You lost your high prince?!"
Blacksmithki Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Lopen's Spren being taught to make "rude gestures" to random people made me laugh. 1
Blazenella he/him Posted December 8, 2017 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." I just imagine Lifts impish grin, and Dalinar with a look of complete and utter confusion Edited December 25, 2017 by Blazenella 2

I HAVE REACHED 69 UPVOTES AND IT MUST REMAIN THIS WAY!!!! I agree. When she tells Dalinar that she doesn't trust him because of his butt, I lost all control.
Xaladin he/him Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 On 11/20/2017 at 6:40 AM, Ookla the Eagle said: There's something darkly humorous about when Dalinar is shouting his sins to the sky, immediately after "YOU CANNOT HAVE MY PAIN!" 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.
Andy92 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 When Rock mentions the best help he could ever find as the cook was a guy with no legs, because you never had to worry about him running off. 2

Grajilla Posted February 15, 2018 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

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
digitalbusker he/him Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I read the sick mind thing as about the hypothetical hallucination, but Vorin prudishness is good too.

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"?

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
Grajilla Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Yes, I was aware about that, and I read that the whole moment was really funny, but the pun seems really disappointing to me. Probably I should wait for the official translation. Thanks! Edited February 15, 2018 by Grajilla
