Hello every one! I'm back!! Perhaps you can see why I left!..Yes, I'm calling it in case nobody else has. Page 140 of AATE...last sentence of the 2nd to last paragraph..." At the rear, Cirrus Kindwind herded the Cords ahead of her."...
..............................thats a SRD fart joke,,imho. ..kinda like the giant womens farts sound like music ..which I suppose is appropo in a way. But Wait!! Theres More!!..Howabout ole TC sticking the Krill down his pants and it immediately begins to throb..what the heck? Is the krill a metaphor for Viagra?
And the best and easiest of all..of SRD's "humor"..is Cataphract..Did everyone look it up and check all the meanings?..Okay..body armor..So..visualize the deal here..the female Giant's Cataphract was used to haul water back to the camp! The female Giants Cataphract was the only thing available that was big enough to bring back sufficient quantity of water for the camp. SRD certainly answers a question left to the imagination don't you think? Its a " jugs " joke!!
I am sure there are other examples of " earthy" humor here in AATE. I'm still lmao at that the haruchai get stuck carry the the jugs of water..With Completely straight face and the stoic..SRD slips the joke right in there. God, now you may understand how it is that I see Donaldson as a Master. See..hes showing us his Humanity. He can be ribald, earthy, and hilarious at the same time. And why not? After all,,The Last Chronicles is written by a person who has lived a pretty good chunk of his life time. Whats he got to lose?
Some folks got a little upset with SRD when he dropped the F bomb in a previous book. I didn't. But for sure,,I am over joyed by his " jokes" being told in the language of the Land!..How Great it is that he went there!!!
Can I stay around? AATE has blown my socks off!!

SRD's Fart Joke
If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

Hey Gang!
Its great to see you all here! With the release of AATE it was an easy guess. The book, and this website: the return to friends. And speakin of connections, sorry Z,,I can't separate AATE and LOST,,or for that matter all of The Last Chronicles and all of LOST: they are the same.,inseparable . They are two different media yet they speak the same language, and say, thematically, the same. Fascinating it will be in how SRD will do his own version of,," No, not heaven, just moving on.."

Actually, I was reading A Man Rides Through last night, and was reading about a bleating sackbut.
Of course, after reading the passage to my wife, that became our joke for the next few hours, especially after she got it the wrong way around and called it a butsack, or as I saw if thereafter, butt sac. And it got even worse when she mistook "bleating" for "bleeding."

My goodness. Linden really showed her ass in that chapter.

A bit more overt maybe, but pg. 478 (4th paragraph, last sentence) says that Trickles ran down Jermiah's cheeks into the soilure of his pajamas, his stained rearing horses.
Sounds pretty gnarl!

Awesome. So I laughed, hard, when I read this, and I went to the page to check out whose fist was violating the sky...only to find the following:page 381:
"His hands fisted the sky ..."
