Well here I am in Clackamas Oregon & it's 1:27 am on October 4th 2017. I'm taking a break from reading Stephen King's (I'm going to get personal & just call him Stephen) book "Firestarter" at the moment & just signed up as a member to this neat website thing he's got going on here to post some reflections about my read. I'm at the tail-end of the book (page 348 of the hardcover I'm reading which I got from my local library) & found a line by Stephen that I'm going to use til my Sands Of Time run out.
So the line is from the character of Hockstetter & he's asking about the whearabouts of John Rainbird. The character Neary says "Whipping His Weasel In Winnipeg." When I read that line about an hour ago I immediately had to stifle a huge laugh (lol moment quite truly) & it brought a tear of Joy in my eye. No lie.
Utterly hilarious reference by Stephen about masturbation.
Hah!!!! Repeat "Whipping His Weasel In Winnipeg"!!!!! Just writing it is makes me smile. It immediately reminded me of a saying a friend of mine's grandfather told me about me catching him look at a cute young girl. I said something along the likes of "Earl. You sly man" & he immediately said "Like A Hound Dog In Heat." Hah. I've never forgotten when Earl said that line & the same goes for Stephen's "Weasel" line. I'll never forget it. Hat's off to you Stephen.

I re-read it over the summer. Enjoyed it quite a bit, as I hadn't remembered anything about it. I'd love to see a film remake.
It's one of a handful of King's book I hadn't read before. I finished it last night & liked it alot. I havn't seen the Drew Barrymore movie since I was a kid. I'm 42 now so maybe it's time for a re-visit. It would be cool if Stephen made a sequel.
