If he was 30 years younger, he could play Roland.

yeah...at The Library, one can find stuff about what inspired some of the stories King wrote. The one about Cell is a hoot. Check it out. Makes you wonder, or it does me, about all those strange guys, like this Ray-guy down in Florida...be walking down the street engaged in argument...or like this paper-person who delivers our paper. I'm sitting in the living room, right, and I hear this noise, get up off the couch to peek out the window, paper-person--not sure if the person is male/female what with winter and we're all bundled up--but the person is either listening to some funky noise on ear-plugs or is venting about their school-day...happened more than once now. Fairly animated, non-stop, lot of hand motion. And there's an angry tone to it. Rap? You notice paper-people are showing up more in commercials? Like cows. Used to be all about cows...unemployed cows...attractive cows checking out what's on the other side of the fence...now it's paper-people...or wait now. Maybe I'm thinking lawn-care. Lawn-care person following the couple in the car? Looking for their two dollars. What time does Revival arrive?

I was going to post a pic of
Fat Bastard
but after looking at them I started to feel ill, so I changed my mind :hopelessness:
When my oldest was about 4, he came home from Grandmas raving about the GREAT movie he'd watched with his uncle--it had this character called Fat Bastard... he proceeded to babble on (while I composed a CHOICE lecture to my brother about appropriate viewing for 4 YOs), and when he was finished I told him, "That sounds funny, Josh, but you really shouldn't say that word. It's not nice." Son thought about it for a minute and answered, "Sorry, Mom. I meant CHUBBY Bastard." :facepalm_smiley:

ummm...seems like the place for it...about this announcement about a story available to the French & Germans? Something like "Mean Little Kid"? Probably have that wrong...something about a kid anyway. Heh! Thank you...needed a laugh...we've got this heavy gray sky weighing down on us. Out of the mouths of babes.

Reminds me, too, of the first time I heard that word. Was in the garden with the old man and this drunk stopped...a drunk we knew. Later on, I asked Ma what a bastard was and she of course asked where I heard that. I can't remember if I told her. The baggage we carry when we're young, hey? The drunk coupled the word with chicken-livered...a real Virtsa, that man.

Virtsa? Is this Lapland-speak? Or Lapp? (I think I have the gist of what it means Walter Oobleck!
