I’m a non-book reader but my housemate is an actor and filmed a scene with Timothee Chalamet that didn’t make the final cut.

Supposedly the scene was set in Caladan in the Castle just before Paul left for Arrakis. My housemate played a stable boy and Paul gifted him his horse before he left. Just wondering as to whether this happens in the book and whether horses play a bigger part in House Atriedes?

I remember picking up this book when I local library was clearing out old books. The story at the end was about this (poor?) girl who wanted a horse of her own, her parents were divorced, she was crushing real hard on the stableboy, and in the end her dad gifted her an Arabian (I think?) and the boy kissed her.

My mum sold the book during a garage sale and I'm feeling nostalgic T_T

The American Males may possibly be my new favorite tag team of all time. The gimmick, the charisma and the AMAZING theme song. These guys are the total package of tag team wrestling.

I was GMing my homebrew game, set in a medieval world. I had three players, playing as commoners of a small village called Wellsettlement, named as such because of a old well where the first settlers threw a witch to die.

The owner of the single bar in town was a woman every villager respected. The blacksmith were the tallest dwarf you would ever seem (he was actually a human but everyone was so sure he was a dwarf). And there was this stableboy, who was terrible at keeping his master's horses at the barn. He was always having to run up and down the only road at the village to get those runaway horses back... Life was alright. There were worst places to live, and the witch-tales were mostly tales.

Until a caravan came by. It was filled with brute orcs, soldiers of the Emperor, and leading were his Enforcer. The villagers were gathered in front of the bar. And the Enforcer explained what would happen. The Emperor demanded three villagers to be threw into the well, to appease the awakening witch. He then started a ritual to choose from the townsfolk. Everyone was apprehensive. Can you guess who were the chosen ones?

The bar owner went inside with both guys and locked up. The blacksmith starts looking for weapons. The stableboy looking for a hiding place. The woman told them there was a backdoor. The stableboy went for it, while the orcs broke through the wooden door. The blacksmith tried to hold them, and was easily subdued. They reached for the woman and got her too. The stableboy was already gone. But in such a small village everyone gathered at the street could see him running through the field. "Get him!" the Enforcer yelled for his trained orcs. They went for him.

And the blacksmith chuckled. Nobody could understand why. Not even me, as GM, or the other players. The Enforcer asks "What do you peasant think it's so funny?".

"Well, that kid is so fast. He runs faster than anything you can unleash on him."

"And what makes you so sure that my highly trained soldiers can't get him?"

"He runs faster than any horse."

"What?" (and that was the answer of everyone at the table too)

"I mean, by the way he's always cacthing the damn horses he lets run away, I can only imagine he can easily outrun them."

Everyone laugh. The stableboy player rolls for Running, as well as the orcs. And the stableboy wins by far. Seeing his men getting so behind and the boy so far ahead, he orders:

"Cavalry, go after him!"

The cavalry rolls. The stableboy too. He easily

Disclaimer: I'm reading ADWD but have not finished it. I don't have enough self control to not read this sub so I know the general gist of where Bran ends up by the end of this book.... If there's something I haven't read yet that completely invalidates this theory then I apologize for my ignorance! After mulling over the Varamyr Sixskins prologue for some time, something has occurred to me about where Bran (and Hodor) might end up:

A large piece of Varamyr's story involves what happens to a warg when his human body dies, and where his consciousness ends up. This is commonly viewed as foreshadowing for what might happen to Jon. But, Varamyr's story focuses just as much on what happens to a warg when his animal dies, and shows us that wargs "die many times before their true death". This aspect of his story has been rattling around in my brain non-stop, as it's certainly "added flavor" to the story, but could also be a much more important detail than we realize. Varamyr references that he's died nine times before, with the first death occurring when he was just a child. This would indicate that dying in your animal's skin is not at all uncommon. Part of me thinks that this may be foreshadowing as well, but I have not ever seen this discussed on this sub.

Now, please bear with me as I don a tinfoil crown...

Varamyr dying as a dog when he was young sets a precedent that this can happen, and that it happens to young & untrained wargs just the same as it happens to older & more powerful wargs. If it happened to Varamyr at a young age, it could easily happen to Bran as well.

So my far-fetched supposition is this.... What if Bran continues warging into Hodor to explore, ends up in danger, and dies in Hodor's skin? (EDIT: As an aside, Bran could die in Summer's skin just as easily as he could in Hodor's, which is something else to consider... Either death would have a heavy emotional impact on the reader, just like GRRM likes it)

Aside from being soul-crushingly tragic and a right-up-GRRM's-alley kind of twist, Hodor's death could also serve a few realistic purposes:

**-**Hodor could feasibly be used to give the reader more information about the Others, the wights, or any other freaky shit going on in the deep north. Sending a sort of kamikaze scout into their midst, even if Bran does it unintentionally, could be the POV we need in order to learn more about Others, their culture, their purpose, etc.

**-**This could be used a

The horsetender didn't sell any of his horses at the auction today.

Why does the world seem to bend so much, down where it's hot? That thought flitted through his mind with a soft hum, and then vanished into a whiff of flavored smoke. The air whirled and bent into strange sigils that made his spine tingle and pulled his eyes from any angle. The smallfolk wandered on heedless of the shifting icons: a haggling merchant, a drunk sellsword, a laundry woman. So did he, but he didn't know why everyone was so casual about it.

The Reach, Willem had decided, was far too hot for any northerner to exist comfortably. The stone streets burned through his shoee. All the sweat made his shirt stick to his skin - faintly yellow, greasy and slick to the touch. Strands of hair kept falling into his eyes and sticking there and wiping them out of the way only got them more hairs to collect and fall together. Every drop, painfully aware as a bead of sweat made its way from his armpit down his right hand side, and another trailed along his left cheek. In this heat even breathing becomes a chore.

Underneath him, Glitterhoof Horsie McHorseface Bark sneezed. You know, the way horses do. Really, he shouldn't be riding the destrier, reserved as he was for the joust. Even fixed one brown eye on him and gave him that you're going to get us in so much shit kind of look. But Ser Daven was busy at King Viserys' side, and hadn't had much time to train him lately.

Well, if Ser Daven can't train me, then I guess I'll have to do it myself. Willem shook his head to clear it, his cheeks flapping with a faint "blrblrblr" and took stock of his surroundings. Five streets met with this square as their nexus: a small path down below, two wider paths filled with people that would end up in different parts of the Merchant District and Docks, one sensible and clean-looking path toward the Citadel, and the last toward the Hightower's castle.

He decided on the path leading to Lord Hightower's grounds, eyeing the guardsmen lazing on duty, the cart and some wineseller's boxes stacked haphazardly all over the floor. After all, if Ser Daven saw the lengths he was going to all for a bit extra training, he might actually show him some pointers on this whole horse-riding thing. Will flicked Bark down toward the path and, with a harsh clip of his heels, sent the horse sprinting off down the street. He tugged right to avoid the boxes, tugged left to avoid the guards patrol, did a sharp turn into an alleyway to avoid hitting what appeared to be a mob of courtes

MOOSE

On their way to participate in the local gladiator games, the party encounters a couple of hopeful contenders: a pair of rednecks named Bubba and Cletus. Bubba is the brains, a low-level magic initiate who can do one simple damage cantrip. Cletus is a beefy farmhand barbarian-wannabe.

Bubba says to the party, “Watch this. Hey, Cletus. Yo mama so fat, she engulfed a gelatinous cube.”

Cletus rages and breaks a small tree. My party doesn’t have a barb, so that’s mildly interesting. Bubba calms him by noting that “the sun is gettin’ real low, big guy.”

THE BAD RUSSIAN

At the games, Bubba and Cletus make a decent showing in one round, get their butts kicked next round. My level 10 PCs face the championship-level challenge. My plan is this:

All participants are assured that healers will repair any injury from the games. Afterwards, Bubba, Cletus, and one PC end up in the healers’ tent. Bubba and the PC are then introduced to the games meister, who really does have a cartoony Russian accent.

Boss: I watched your performance with great interest. I think we could be friends. Tell me, Boobah, would you recognize your friend’s voice?

Boss does weird somatic motions, obviously casting a spell. He produces a small ball of light. From the pulsing light comes Cletus’ voice, screaming “Aaaaagh….. what do you want? I’ll tell you anything. Aaaagh.”

Bubba: What are you doin to ‘im?

Boss: I have given your friend a kissed. (Actually, it’s a cyst, but bad accent.)

Screaming continues.

Boss: Your friend does not possess any information which I require. I have asked him nothing. Nor does he have any particular skill. I think he will be most useful as an example.

Boss: I do not enjoy this part.

Boss plugs his ears. Screaming intensifies, then halts abruptly. Small, squishy pop is heard, then heavy body hitting floor. Bubba, yelling, is restrained by guards.

Boss, to guard: Please to send Clytus in here.

Cletus comes shambling in, obviously a fresh zombie, with a hole in his chest where his heart exploded. Boss gags at the sight and orders guards to cover him up. Point made, Cletus shambles out. Bubba yells. Boss responds quietly, patiently, as if explaining to a child.

“I have also given you a kissed. As you can see, I would prefer to have my friends alive and helping me willingly. Now, you will go home. You will live your simple life in your village

Think this might be an interesting scenario.

Need I say more?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

George wrote the script for four episodes of Game of Thrones. However, not everything finds its way to the screen. Much has been changed or deleted. Below is a summary of the things we know.

Unfortunately, the list is far from complete, as for now no one has a report on three of George's scripts. These scripts are publicly available in the Writers Guild of America Library in Los Angeles . All the scripts and other materials from the TV series are accessible there. These may contain a lot of interesting information, and maybe even some tidbits from The Winds of Winter.

If anyone lives nearby and plans to go: I would be interested in more information about George's scripts. It would give a lot of insight about GRRM's original plans with the TV series.

SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 “THE POINTY END”

• George planned for Jeyne Poole to appear in this episode:

From George:

>Jeyne Poole was included in the pilot—she’s shown giggling next to Sansa—but she’s never seen or referred to again. I actually wrote Jeyne into “The Pointy End,” my first script, when Arya killed the stableboy. I had some stuff with Jeyne running to Sansa being all hysterical and dialogue in the council chamber with Littlefinger saying, “Give her to me, I’ll make sure she doesn’t cause any trouble.” That was dropped.

• Eddard Stark had a flashback in an earlier draft (maybe the Tower of Joy?), but it has been scrapped:

This information comes from Elio M. García Jr. and Linda Antonsson, who have often worked with George on various projects and also followed the production process of the TV series behind the scenes:

>We knew that at one point, there was to be a delirious dream sequence for Ned.

• The "Call the banners" scene was changed compared to the first draft:

From Elio M. García Jr. and Linda Antonsson:

>It doesn’t entirely replace the very cool-sounding, extremely expensive-sounding “calling of the banners” scene GRRM apparently wrote in his first draft—that would have been something to see—but it certainly is a decent substitute.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 9 “BLACKWATER”

• The chain that is part of Tyrion's plan in the books was originally in the script, but scrapped for budget reasons.

Neil Marshall, director, also changed other things such as the use of boulders and battering rams in the TV series, as well as placing Stannis in the frontline.

It really does, I swear!
