    the bear has already tried to fit a snake into Percival... no special luck so far

    except it contains all the letters that spell "viper"

    which leaves LAC - Legal Action Center?

    But since bears don't know shit about hubcaps (hardly know what they are, in fact), I am afraid that's all I can come up with

    P.S. As far as bears can see, Percival also makes "evil carp"... which doesn't make much sense in relation to hubcaps, either (neither does "live carp")

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

    Who was Percival's romance with?
    The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

    ...And The Gunslinger Followed.

    “I’m always on the Batman rule, sir.” - Kate Kane / Detective Comics 857

    "It is the story, not he who tells it." Except to us collectors who have to put limits somewhere. - jhanic

    Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.

    It wasn't that kind of romance. It can also mean a novel dealing with idealized events remote from everyday life.

    It's NOT Percival.

    No one has gotten it yet.

    Also there is no anagramming taking place here, so forget about that.

    Yeah, I was afraid of that....

    Anyway, I hope this one is sufficiently challenging as to be interesting, but not so hard that no one can get it....

    An Arthurian romance by Chretien de Troyes,
    Tale?

    Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"

    Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”

    Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”


    Were you there to see the Bear?

    No, I'm thinking of a specific title. HINT: Think EARLIEST....

    But "spinner" should help your thoughts turn toward what I'm looking for....
