When asked if he'd seen the Red Wedding:

GRRM: I have not seen it. I've been very busy writing the new books and doing other projects this year, so I did not have a chance to visit the set.

Translation: I have multiple restraining orders.

Neeps: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/jan/25/neeps-swede-or-turnip

quote:

To clear it up now (some hope), neeps is a dish of diced or mashed swede - I suspect references to "bashed neeps" come from an English notion - which are referred to in Scotland - and many parts of the north - as turnips. Always keen to help, we've covered swedes and turnips in our new seasonal vegetable guide.

It's got nipples in that it's two breasts on a plate. And the breasts have nipples.

This whole discussion played out similarly with my girlfriend and I over True Blood. She read all the books while recovering from a broken neck, then we watched the show and she kept talking about how everything was different. I was fine just watching the show since its literally an entirely different continuity. Then I read all of the books too because I am more evolved.

Lafayette has like 4 lines and dies at the beginning of book 2, heyooooooo

Also do vampires bust thick loads? Maybe it's black semen like in those awful loving Bakker books
