The Dark Tower - Connections

Can anyone tell me what they know about this?

The Dark Tower - Connections

There's this lady in one of Flannery O'Connor's stories...she mentions connections in Tennessee. East Tennessee maybe. Even without a link, many readers have discovered connections in King's stories. There's a line in Duma Key...don't recall how it goes exactly...and maybe Edgar was quoting or paraphrasing Nietzsche...something about keeping your obsessions while your obsessions keep you. And haven't we all? Head over to the creek where the spring melt is rushing and flail that stuffed Tarzan the melting snow uncovered. There's this line at the link:

Think you might have uncovered a new Connection? And there's a submission link at the link. Puttin on the Ritz.

Has Stephen King ever said if readers have discovered all/any connections? Are there connections left undiscovered?

Too, for what it's worth, if you haven't read Lisey's Story...there's a word, bool...as in bool hunt. That describes both a passive and active hunt for connections...though in the story, it describes a game Scott and his brother played as boys. Almost like that game...dunno how to spell it...cash-shaying? You leave a note in a bottle somewhere...that planter in front of City Hall...leave clues elsewhere? to its whereabouts? Dunno how the game is played...just that it exists. Go ahead and flog me now.

Hi Walt! (Walter Oobleck ) - how is the Oobleck today? - that thing you describe above is called a "scavenger hunt" - it can be fun if done as a road trip and a competition. We did this many years ago and it was a lot of work and really cool. (We won (our team, that is) - I recall doing this when I was preggers with the second son and hubby was with a military squadron called 437 Squadron out of Trenton Ontario.
We used our friend's old mustang and it was a blast!

Why wait 12 hours for a response when the world could potentially be vaporized before then. "Has Stephen King ever said if readers have discovered all/any connections? Are there connections left undiscovered?"

Based on the link, I'd hazard that yes, there are undiscovered connections.

I don't get no respect! Someone else ask the question! :big_tears: Just thought of another...somewhat funny thing we/I used to do as a kid...remember those times when you screwed up...royally...and you try to argue a defense? You articulate this whooping run-on sentence of excuse and everything and anything that pops into your head...you make a connection...and offer it up to the grown-up standing there cross-eyed wanting to know why you wiped the Vicks Vapor Rub on the toilet paper...and then left the wad of it on the tank...where someone concerned about the cost of toilet paper used it to wipe their koochie...only...the inevitable happened? Remember those times?

Oh hell yes. And now I have four sets of big, sincere if-we-talk-for-long-enough-you-MUST-believe-us eyes trying that crap on with me.

Wow, there are so many connections, some of which I don't even remember, even though they're from my favourite book.

It:
LEGION: In the 2003 version of The Gunslinger, Walter mentions the End-World creature known as Legion. In It, the voices in the drains call themselves Legion.

Those damn pesky details slipping out over time.
