Am I missing something here?

Yes, but you're probably better off that way.

This is a thread about the loser of the 1884 election right? Long live Cleveland!

WHAT THE?!?! How the hell did I end up here?! And who the hell would want clones of Blayne? We can barely handle the original (or are we even dealing with the original....).
Ni, Ni, Ni, Ni! *blayne shreeks and cowers in fear of the almighty knights who say Ni

"Choo choo and all that jazz." Best comment ever.

Is there supposed to be a logical connection between a US Presidency candidate from the 19th century, Pokemon #25 and Monty Python?
What in the name of carnal knowledge has happened to Hatrack in my absence?!

Maybe this'll do the trick:
Why did the baby cross the road?

Because Grover Cleveland was his father?

People commonly misspell my name; B-l-a-y-n-e with B-l-a-i-n-e
Which also happens to be the name of the Pokemon gym teacher on that fire island.
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
It's also the name of the insane train in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Hence (I think) the Choo Choo thing. Also, kwsni's post. Edit: I thought "Blaine's a pain" was a direct quote, but I could be mistaken.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
No, it is. "Blaine is a pain" is a bit of a running theme in that sequence. And that is true-spoken, sai.

lol
Posted by kwsni (Member # 1831) on :
I thought Jake said it like that at one point, but I could be wrong.
Ni!
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
kwsni, if you mean "Blaine's a pain" (the contraction), you're probably right. It was definitely separated for his Understanding of Truth paper that he turned in to the teacher, but the comment kept coming up over and over again throughout the book, and it wasn't just from Jake, either. By the end, I think the entire ka-tet said it at least once, even Oy (in his own way, of course).
Yeah, I'm so due for a re-read of that entire series....
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Eddie would almost certainly say it like that.

now, that's what I like to hear.

I'm guessing it has something to do with office supplies.
Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :
That'd be my guess as well.
I'm a terrible parent. Tova was telling the most godawful jokes (like the banana knock-knock joke, over and over and over again), so I told her these:
Q: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? A: It was dead.
Q: Why did the chicken fall out of the tree? A: It was stapled to the monkey.

My Understanding Of Truth By John M. Chambers*
"I will show you fear in a handful of dust." - T.S. "BUTCH" ELIOT
"My first thought was, he lied in every word." - ROBERT "SUNDANCE" BROWNING
The gunslinger is the truth. Roland is the truth. The Prisoner is the truth. The Lady of Shadows is the truth. The Prisoner and the Lady are married. That is the truth. The Waystation is the truth. The Speaking Demon is the truth. We went under the mountains and that is the truth. There were monsters under the mountain. That is the truth. One of them had an Amoco gas pump between his legs and was pretending it was his penis. That is the truth. Roland let me die. That is the truth. I still love him. That is the truth.
When is a door not a door? When it's a jar, and that is the truth. Blaine is the truth. Blaine is the truth. What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck, and that is the truth. Blaine is the truth. You have to watch Blaine all the time, Blaine is a pain, and that is the truth. I'm pretty sure that Blaine is dangerous, and that is the truth. What is black and white and red all over? A blushing zebra, and that is the truth. Blaine is the truth. I want to go back and that is the truth. I have to go back and that is the truth. I'll go crazy if I don’t go back and that is the truth. I can't go home again unless I find a stone a rose a door and that is the truth. Choo-choo, and that is the truth. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. I am afraid. That is the truth. Choo-choo.

And I just have to add that I can't hear either of the quotations at the beginning of Jake's essay any more without thinking of Butch and Sundance. As a slight derailment, they're actually talking about Affleck and Damon doing a remake of that movie. Why not The Sting? Or is that next?
