Hrothgar

Yes. I don't think the first episode counts as spoilers anymore. Seriously, anything up to the Red Wedding is fair game.

I used to keep a copy of this with me at all times. "If"-Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

The first wealth is health. Ralph Waldo Emerson

That is my favorite line from the book. So disappointed it wasn't in the first episode.

Smaller tire. Like something off of a combine.

Ah, the unicorn. As elusive and mythical as an honest politician.

Mmmm-Hm!

Haven't been able to find it on YouTube, but Pandora has played for me a version where somebody heckles after every line. It's frackin hysterical.

Exactly.

"Why do you go all the way home before work instead of taking a shower here?" "Because 5am is too early to see another man's junk. Come to think of it, there's no good time of day to see another man's junk."

What do you call a cow with 2 legs? Yo mamma!!

What do you call a cow with 3 legs? Lean beef.

What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef.

Love that one.

Checking in, bro! How's the PLP treating you? Are you managing to do the pull-ups in one set? We've been getting the house ready to put on the market in April and the wife took down my pull-up bar. I tell ya, if she wasn't so darn cute......
