I know, I know, it's April 1st. For the past two years I've made a bogus April Fool's post on this day, but not this year. The day came rushing up on me too fast, I fear. I had a vague notion of announcing that HBO had recast the part of Tyrion, replacing Peter Dinklage with Gary Coleman, but somehow I don't think that would have fooled anyone. Then I thought maybe I could post that William Shatner had been added to the cast as Barristan Selmy... but that would not have flown either.
So I'll have to take a pass. Next year, maybe.

Then again, given how, erm, intense the discussion tends to become whenever the word 'dance' comes up in George's posts already, maybe we're better off with the Gary Coleman idea, right.
I, for one, would have laughed. I know if I were in his shoes I would have announced finishing ADWD, but I'm an utter bastard.
(can I preemptively order ten?)
A true original, and an American national treasure (no, Canada, you cannot have him back), much as the article indicates.
I can just... see him... giving his well-meaning advice *and*... somewhat feeble amorous advances *to*... Princess... Daenerys.
I've shared A Game of Thrones with my cousin, grandfather, and a few friends. I really love the series and thanks for your work.
GRRM... I am new to the post. About to finish AFFC and lovin' it.
Patiently awaiting the next, and enjoying your blog!!!!!!
We need more votes!
We cant let that happen. You need to write something for Suvudu George.
Hurry or it will be the end of the Valonquar....
Jaime is losing right now, and the vote ends tomorrow. He might benefit from another livejournal link post by you

Totally off-topic, as this is no joke: Jaime needs your help! (And someone needs to tell Rothfuss no Westerosi would never bark the expletive, "Good lord!")

Just in case, here are some articles (granted, they are slanted):
1. Ursula Le Guin petitions against Google Settlement

2. Justice says Google Book Settlement isn't good enough

I would really enjoy hearing what you think about it, should you decide to comment. Okay, I'll shut up now since this is very OT.
And thanks again for the Jaime vs Cthlulu write-up! Great stuff! I'll be getting to "Warriors" shortly (and preordering your newest anthology).
I am not sure anyone would have believed it, but I don't think anyone would have been confident enough to entirely disbelieve it either.

Not that I mind. I hate April Fools' day; I'm way too gullible. But still! Tradition! It's worrisome! (Ok, not really. :-D)
