Yeah - one would be hot and one cold...

What fresh hell is this?

Actually, it's a rather old and stale hell. A good bit older than you are, Glytch.

You threw us, Warrl. Macca doesn't really say anything about "hot and cold" in MSH.

That's okay, I didn't figure out what "hot and cold" referred to until this morning. (And I'm still not at all clear on how it relates.)

Yes, but what about radioactive cats in boxes?

You mean: "Mirtai Atan warrioress. Married to Kring. Doma of the Peloi." ?

Yeah. That Miri.

Been about fifteen years or more since i read those.

Highly recommended - start with the first three, collectively known as "The Elenium".

They were good reads, but MAN was it so close to a full mirror of the Belgariad. Eddings just couldn't let go of the 'all powerful rock' theme.

I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE WHO’S READ THE BELGARIAD!

Couple of us.

Start here:

da cat, splained by Sheldon, (to Penny)

(Missing from the middle is Leonard & Sheldon having a theoretical discussion re: the 'Penny Situation'...)

This next one is both even lower rez AND louder in recording; turn the speakers back down...
Penny, or rather Leonard, puts the theoretical into realistic application

"The Cats Alive!"

And The Mallorean . . .

And The Elenium . . .

It takes a while . . . it takes him 500 words to clear his throat.

A problem some people here can attest I share.

Stephen King is worse. I mean, if Stephen King wrote what H.P. Lovecraft did in 30 pages, it would be a 430 page novel.

Now, if you want an author that went beyond idiocy with the same theme, look at the 'Shannara' series by Goodkind. I mean, seriously - is he up to 21 books now? It's worse than The Destroyer, The Executioner, or the Mickey Spillane Mike Hammer novels - those you at least _expect_ to be similar.
