If it's so good, then why did Fox cancel it? *Ducks behind couch to avoid shoes/bullets*

Symphonic metal! *Head bangs* What is your favorite mathematical formula? -
Ah, Malazan. It is equal parts great and infuriating. Erikson pretty much takes all fantasy tropes, puts them in a blender, adds a bit of pretentious ponderance, and garnishes it with Kruppe (Kruppe is a character who might be best described as Hoid... if Hoid decided to stay in one city and purloin pastries). It is a complicated world that spans several continents and dimensions. The magic is akin to power levels in Dragonball Z (i.e. mostly BS) so I wouldn't expect mechanics like you find in Sanderson. The plot is all over the place and a lot of questions you have will never be answered. Ever. Trust me, I've read the Esslemont books as well, and all I got was more infuriating. Essentially, here is what you do: you read Gardens of the Moon. Just read it. Don't think about it, just get through it. Then, with your befuddled entrance into Malazan accomplished, read Deadhouse Gates and/or Memories of Ice. If you like them both, continue and finish the series. If you like one, give it a shot through the fifth book before deciding to finish. If you don't like either, accept that you have no soul and will never have any real friends.

Heed this warning, boys and girls. Firestone not only tends to not fix your car/make things worse, they'll charge you an arm and a leg for the privilege! -

Hey, could be worse. Commonly, you just did not screw on your gas cap tight enough. You can tighten that sucker, disconnect the battery and reconnect to reset the light and see if it comes back on. Speaking of things being worse, sometime in the past few months, one of the rear struts in my car snapped off, taking a chunk out of the wheel well with it. This essentially kills the car. -

So... you're 23 year old brother would tell on you to your mom because you used a swear? I'd hound him relentlessly for that. "Hey, Bro! You forgot your bottle!" "Hey, let's get this bib on you before you eat, else you'll get food everywhere!" (alternatively, you could give him a coloring book and crayons when eating out at a restaurant) "What's that? You're tired of being treated like a wittle baby? Then grow the storm up!" Of course, my parents would not put up with such nonsense... well, my mother anyway. -

And that is why I keep the His Holiness Orlion Translation a close secret... at least until I can secure merchandising rights! -

I like "Mutability" by Percy Shelley... like a bunch of William Blake, too, but he might be technically "Pre-romantic" Favourite poem from a Modernist? -

I am going to tell you a story about a guy you may have heard of: The moral of the story is to not feel bad. It's totes in the Bible. -

Wouldn't ketchup have to have gelatin in it to qualify as a jelly? In either event, it matters not... for tomatoes are vegetables in the US since 1893, thanks to the landmark case Nix v. Hedden. That's right. The United States Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes are a vegetable.

Though it is not Wayne himself, that does not mean Hoid is not imitating Wayne.

People make it a bigger deal, they make it a main event. Most people do not care about your personal interests until they can 1) Gain social points by opposing them or 2) Those interests are "shoved in their faces" to the point they decide they have to say something about it. Ultimately, these things should be approached with maturity and naturally, much like Twi's advice. There's nothing wrong with letting others know your interests, but if you bombard their walls with ponies against their will, they will probably be a bit annoyed. As far as bullies, deal with that if it happens. You don't need to treat people like enemies before they've done anything antagonistic. -

This is tough since the One I refer to as the One True Author has written fantasy but is not (necessarily) a fantasy author. So I'll say Stephen R Donaldson. Favourite rock n roll song? -
A vulture returned to visit his dad after being estranged for a few years. He found him on the side of the road next to some roadkill, where vultures are wont to be. "What do you have there?" he asked his father "Carrion, my wayward son." "Will there be pieces when you are done?" And we'll say this all took place somewhere in Missouri. Near Kansas City.
