Game of Thrones question:

ok Eddard Stark sister Lyanna Stark was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen older brother of Daenerys Targaryen.
Now Rhaegar does bad things to Lyanna and she has a baby Jon Snow.

So wouldn't Jon Snow be the rightful heir to the Throne?

Ah, but the official position on Snow, is that he is the sun of Eddard and Willa (some roadside wench from a tavern-not that I know anything of those sorts). Now, it is remarkable that such a wild story of the honorable Ned would fly unchallenged. I don't personally believe the tale. Sadly, at this point in the books, the only (living) witness to the truth of the matter is Howland Reed, and he doesn't even exist as a major character...

I don't think Lyanna thought what Rhaegar did to her were "bad things" - I think she ran off with him willingly.

My name is an obvious reference to Game of Thrones, to any who have watched season one. But it is a layered reference. When I started watching Eddard "Ned" Stark was my favorite character. His Honor, his loyalty, his absolute convictions. I was torn though, because I have always had an affinity for the Lion, which is the symbol of House Lannsiter. Not to mention Tywin Lannsiter is just plain awesome, as are his brood of ridiculously clever and conniving children. As I read the books following season one's close of the show, my admiration for House Lannister grew.

When the Lannisters and Starks came to blows, Eddards steadfast and rigid ways got him beheaded by the scheming and delightfully devious Lannisters. I had been won over to House Lannsiter for good, but I still respected Eddard. So the first part of the name is a tribute to Ned Stark. "inWinter" refers to his death at the hands of my beloved Lions of Lannister.

Perhaps most important, my favorite movie EVER is "The Lion in Winter". Now this movie is simply amazing. The story of Henry II, Eleanor, Richard the Lionheart, John, Phillip of France and their struggles to control England nearing the end of Henry's reign. When I started in other forums, The Lion in Winter in any use-able form seemed to be taken, so I chose this one instead.


My favorite line by Peter O'Toole:



I suppose all of that explains my Avatar. I just love the majestic look of a Pride Male and the amazingly complex social relationships that go into the workings of a pride of lions. I also chose that avatar here on this forum so that I could not be mistaken for a Stark given the mixed message of my screen name.

That is a lot of explanation. I could see no shorter way to do it justice.

Eleanor's BEST line.."What family doesn't have it's ups and downs?".

Second best line: "I'd hang it from my n*pples, but I'd shock the children", LOL

My favorite movie, also ;)

we are all older and grew up with star wars and lightsabers.

When I look up House Targaryen they seem to make it a point to say the Targaryens marry brother to sister, often with three people to a marriage, to keep the bloodline pure

Which if Jon was a Targaryen and would marry Daenerys the Blood Line stays pure.

I just like to see something good happen to Jon the underdog lol

Why you think that?

Jon is a solid character for quite some time. It ain't over 'til it's over.

So good to be back home and able to use the ProVari again! A week w/out it is way to long. As a side note, I almost got kicked out of the Cardinals/Colts game in Phoenix cuz A) some idiot was vaping INSIDE the stadium B) I asked him if that was legal and he told me yes, just not in the stands C) I was drinking and believed him D) I am also an idiot and did it and got caught. <sigh>, it's great to be home and not in some jail cell in Arizona.

Oh, you don't have to worry about being in a cell very long in AZ. They'll just throw you in a tent.

Hey, you made it all the way to AZ. It's only a stones throw from PHX to HNL...

Tourney at Harrenhall.

Also keep in mind that the story that she was kidnapped and raped was Robert's version of events, and what else would you expect him to say about the fact that his fiancee ran off with the (married) Crown Prince?

I also agree that Lyanna ran off willingly. Eddard never seems comfortable discussing anything with Robert about her. He never shares Robert's hatred for the entire family, and he gets angry at Robert about even discussing his past with Wylla. Plus, Prince Rhaegar was a lady killer, of course Lyanna wanted to go with him. Crown Prince, warrior, poet, and stud. He was quite a catch.

Too bad, so sad, his family crossed Tywin, and they were doomed.

Wow, the stories behind my handle and avatar are uber lame compared to that...

I read the first 3 Song of Fire & Ice books and couldn't get through the 4th hardcover when it came out. I think I was disillusioned because Robert Jordan's next book was taking so long; sadly, as we know, he was sick and couldn't continue writing. Watched the first two episodes of GoT and couldn't continue.

Back on topic: I really shouldn't have gone to the JWraps website as it has me second guessing upcoming my ProVari Mini purchase...yet again! Being on medical leave is nice, but sucks sperm whale *bleep* at the same time. :glare:

I just REALLY relate to Patsy. I even have a quality Patsy wig...LOL

I put way more thought into my name... I looked at my order from ProVape, It said "Zombie Edition ProVari"

The End!

Is Joe Arpaio still in charge?

at least it's winter. Tents in the summer that's harsh.
Arpaio apparently will be in charge even after he's undead.

The tents in winter are just as bad as the tents in summer, especially if one has arthritis going on in the hips as I do.

The tents leak and everything gets soaked when it rains and it doesn't dry very quickly, there aren't enough blankets to go around and not enough clothing, either, not that you're given clothing that fits.



Not that I would know any of this. *ahem*
