And now for something completely different...
Okay, I'm just starting this thread for fun...
I thought it'd be fun if we could think of small observations about The Chrons that...well that we could make fun of or laugh about.
For instance:
Anyone ever notice that NO ONE in The Land (outisders included) EVER has to "go" to the restroom? I mean SRD describes what appears to be bathrooms but only wash basins seem to be present, but he never even mentions if Revelstone has a giant-wrought outhouse or anything like that.
Wouldn't it really change some of the scenes if Covenant tells Bannor he needs to "go" and Bannor lets it slip that the Bloodguard don't do that either? Now there's a chance for some comic relief right there.

Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.
Brian: Well, why don't you go and tell him you want to be a leper again?
Ex-Leper: Uh, I could do that sir, yeah. Yeah, I could do that I suppose. What I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the @$$ to be blunt and excuse my French, sir.

The first toilet is mentioned in ROTE.Anyone ever notice that NO ONE in The Land (outisders included) EVER has to "go" to the restroom?

Yeah, I noticed this on the second reading.

One thing about the series (esepcially the firs chronicles) that always struck me is how incurious the people of the Land seem to be about Covenant's world. I mean, he is from a completely different dimension/universe - which you might think would be completely fascinating to learn about for most people - but I think the only person who ever asks him anything about it is Mhoram (Foamfollwer asks Covenant a bit about his personal life). Pretty much no one ever says "So, what exactly is leprosy anyway?"

Maybe because it _is_ Covenant's dream/extrapolation of his psyche after all and all the others only say what he wants them to say... which reminds me of a very old joke, in which a woman is sleeping and dreaming of a big black guy chasing her through the rooms of her house with a big knife in his hand, and woman keeps screamimg "Stop! Leave me alone!" to which the guy replies "Me? It is you who is dreaming me, not the other way around!"
