He was crucified atop the roof of Allie's tavern, I think.

Thank you birdandbear. :D Crucified on the roof is what I wanted. :D (I thought it was the general store, but that's not important. :D )

Your turn. :D

(Edit: Oops...just saw Luci's too. Close enogh. Next question by whoever gets here first. :D )

I see no reason we can't both do one. ;)

What lyric from what 1964 musical is featured in The Gunslinger? (both versions)

Bonus question: What character from this same musical shared a name with a character from The Gunslinger?

Ha! Gotcha!

Lyric: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."

Musical: "My Fair Lady"

Character: "Zoltan"

(Man that was a tough one, but as with all good riddles, the answer is self-evident once you know it. ;) )

OK, my question. Real easy one because I'm lazy:

What was Flagg's real name?

Randall Flagg


Richard Fannin "which is not quite right but that'll do for government work" he says

the Ageless Stranger

he SAID he was "called" maerlyn or merlin by some but "i was never that one" which was a glad disclaimer sincei LIKE merlin!! hahaha

but something else is niggling at me...seem's like there was another one

(i'm not counting The Walkin Dude or The Dark Man)

all this stuff he says to the Tick Tock Man...i just got finished reading dagnabbit

His real name. The name he was given when he was born. His birth name.

Ah, ok. But I'm a cheating scum.... :whip:


Was it Walter O'Dim? At least I believe that's how he usually thinks of himself...

How he thinks of himself, yes. But that's not the name he was given at birth. He had a proper surname. Walter "somebody."

Nope, he tells Tick Tock that his name is Richard Fannin. :D

It's only in the lastbook that it gets mentioned...during his conversation with Mordred.

nah...earlier too. i just read 1-3 Av, just to bone up a bit for trivia and lookin for good questions! i'm pretty sure its earlier too. i think it's roland tellin about him or something. maybe when he's talkin to jake in Gunslinger. perhaps its one of the revisions.
