Game of Thrones Preview
— Gabriel Malor

I've still got my fingers crossed that HBO's Game of Thrones does the books -- the first of which, at least, was very good -- justice. Based on this first fifteen minutes, I'm hopeful.

Game of Thrones Exclusive Preview

The website is here. Fans of the series should be sure to check out the wallpapers from the seven houses.

Game of Thrones premiers April 17.

4 Are there any boobies in this preview? If not, why should I watch it. They better hurry up. Arthur and Guinevere are already doing it doggie style!

Could someone put me to some learnin' please?

There is a break in the rain, and I was just out walking my puppy Gonzo the Ridiculous. I was wearing my radio headphones and heard at the top of the hour news that Barky showed up at the Lincoln Memorial, and he was blabbering on basically taking credit for the people being able to visit the memorial because he kept the government open.

I know. He's a total douchenozzle..and I would expect nothing less from him, but my question is how the fuck do you close the Lincoln Memorial?

I mean, wouldn't it actually cost money to close it by staffing park police around it saying you can't walk up the fucking steps.??

I've been there several times and I don't remember any doors on the fucking thing.

...and Harry Reid was all worried last night that people that came in for the Cherry Blossom Festival wouldn't be able to see the trees. Do they fold the fucking things up at night and put them away somewhere?

CNN led off their 6 PM news with a long story on the "Outmanned and Outgunned" rebels in Libya - our new friends. At one point, Ben Wedermen (sp?) spent almost 15 seconds talking about how good the soldiers looked in some of their clothes at one point using the words 'quite stylish..'.

So there is that....

12 On a sorta related note:

Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire opens today!

Come out and get your $8 per 10oz cup of sorta warm beer fix!
Eat some undercooked turkey legs for $7 a pop!
All for the low price of something like $30 a ticket.
See bad actors and bad singers in bad skits.
See more of BBW's than you ever ever ever needed to see.
Plus! if you act now you can see four failed high school athletes performing jousting at the speed of Wilford Brimley eating oatmeal!

Should be just the thing to make staying home and watching HBO seem like a roller coaster ride.

Check out their new marketing campaign:

This shit was fun a few years ago, so keep giving us money!

You named your puppy Gonzo the Ridiculous?

Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Yeah, the stupid from these people is epic. But when you got reporters like Wendell Goler who think that the Great Pyramid is a fine example of Muslim arts and sciences they will never get called on their stupid.

Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire opens today!

Ok, I'll admit it. I missed Renaissance and only saw Pleasure Faire and California. Vibrators and Jesus-shaped dildos popped into my head. But now Mohammed shaped dildos because that would be offensive.

Back to work...

25 beedubya: Can't help you. If you had asked me how to wash a dog's ass, I'd fill you with knowledge (thanks, Tami!). But, current events, I know nothing about. Maybe, obama needs to be thrown in the sink and have his ass washed? What do ya think? Any volunteers?

26 ...and Harry Reid was all worried last night that people that came in for the Cherry Blossom Festival wouldn't be able to see the trees. Do they fold the fucking things up at night and put them away somewhere?

According to the Harry Reid clip last night, they put them in Virginia. And he implied that if the federal government shut down, Virginia would be devastated. Alas, Cherry Blossoms and Cowboy Poetry are safe.

Maybe Barky was at the Lincoln Memorial for a fitting.

LOL, I managed to catch one episode of that show flipping through the channels and found them screwing on the grass and showing nice big-uns.

The problem with that show is the times that they show it are so damn early in the morning and I don't have a DVR.

33 This is the best fantasy series yet written, not for the faint of heart. It's basically an alternate reality, there is little/no magic (despite the intro). It's all humans in a world just like our own.

I don't bother. I just find it on the internet and watch it that way.

So Tami is the resident expert on washing dogs asses, is she?

Indeed she is. I had a dog ass washing emergency and she gave me helpful advice such as, use the sprayer but just make sure you don't give the damn dog an enema with it.

57 I am currently watching a British drama series I found on Amazon - London Hospital ... it is taken (supposedly) from reports from the hospital around 1900 or so. We take so much for granted now as far as medicine goes - anyway, it is a good watch. I signed up for Amazon Prime because I order a lot from Amazon and it makes the shipping cheaper and you get to watch a lot of stuff for free.

68 Two good Brit documentaries are Victorian Farm and Edwarian Farm. A historian and two archeologist live on an old farm for a year and work it. Boy, were people busy back then. I liked the plowing and the plow horses. Washing clothes was a biyatch!

70 I also like The Boat That Guy Built. A motorcycle racer named Guy Marting and his friend restore one of those long boats they use on UK canals. They mostly giggle and talk over each other and crack up. That plus their accents I can't understand 80% of what they say. But, they do look like they are having fun and they are good at building things.

Yes it's depressing, but it's not supposed to be your typical hero-on-a-quest-to-kill-the-orcs story, that's what makes it so great.

It's based on the middle ages and loosely on the War of the Roses. Most people back then lived short, brutal lives.

I loved the first three books. There were scenes in there which had me close to tears. And it's all very quotable. "You know nothing, Jon Snow . . ."

The end of Steven Erikson's Deadhouse Gates, though, did bring me to tears.

108 Best old movie I watched recently was The Ten Commandments on the newly restored Blu-Ray.

The colors and detail were simply outstanding. I don't remember if I saw it in the theaters originally but after all the times seeing it on normal TV and on VHS tape the Blu-Ray makes it come alive.

Yeah, and Winter comes every thousand years. How come they didn't develop nuclear power in between? A thousand years seems plenty of time. If you ask me, the place is damn stagnant and the economics are ridiculous. I don't see how they even support the technology they do have

I could deal with all that except the story dies. Even Martin lost interest.

114 Yeah, great books, although that libtard George R.R. Martin has been too busy screwing around with side projects to get the next book in the series out.

They need to learn how to buffer on pause so that the damn video doesnt stop every few seconds to buffer than repeat a few seconds later.

116 I started reading the books about 8 years ago? shortly before I was a moron. and I started readinging "A Game of Thrones" and at first I thought, and was disappointed cuz I knew GRRM's work, bored at first. I thought GRRM was using the same fantasy tripe that everyone uses, the presaging and that smarmy moralizing about nobility.

THEN! On page 86 (might have been 82, I read it in hardback) a fucking 8 year old gets thrown off of a fucking tower!

FUCKING GUY HAD the, as yet, MAIN CHARACTER THROWN OFF OF A FUCKING TOWER! at age 8!!!!

I realized, "Okay GRRM has balls and he's actually gonna tell a story, WTF!!!"
