    I don't mean to ruin the Dark Tower series for you, but in book VI it is revealed that Roland IS the Crimson King, and he eats the rest of the gunslingers. Most of book VII is actually a treatise on driveway maintenance.

    don't let mal fool you. it turns out that ye olde gunslinger hangs up his heaters to live forever in an eden like garden with beautiful young sex-loving nymphs...oh wait there's more!...and he gets to watch all the ND football his heart desires while eating delicious CJs super pubs and never gaining an ounce!

    Oh God, that really is heaven!

    I'm not going to take offense to your title, despite the fact that the predicted high tomorrow is -2F. I'm generous.

  5. Blogger Goat | 8:51 AM |  

    No need to take offense, my shirt-hating friend. I originally wrote that post last summer, so the title is valid.

    Granted, the highs have been in the 60s here the past few weeks...
