Oy pissing on Blaine's carcass is always a good one for me, as is the scene where Oy says "fuck."

Ohhh I love it when an old thread gets revived..especially one of mine.
Oy saying "fuck" and Mrs Tassenbaum's reaction had me laughing for a good two or three days afterwards.

"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
absolutely, oy is funny, but mrs. tassenbaum's reaction makes the whole scene.
That scene was riotously funny. There are so many hilarious scenes throughout the course of this series that you could probably devote several different threads to exploring them in full detail. Some of the scenes that unfold in flashbacks have an ingrained, dark, caustic humor to them, but the dialogues between Eddie and Roland are great as well.

Not really one of the funniest moments, but I got a kick out of the Gawdbomb dude.
My vote for funniest would have to go to the come and cheese.

He was nutty, but in a good way.

You know, there would have been some pretty "nutty" characters had the story visited New Orleans...

perhaps had katrina happened while he was writing it, he'd have leaned that way. like i've said before, as a native new yorker,I think the Rose proves what I have always believed, that NYC is the center of the universe.

It would be funny to read King's take on how characters from New York and New Orleans would interact. Hell, even I have a hard time understanding some of the people down here.

i could see it being a place where the tet could easily meet some folken to shoot.
Gangmembers, maybe... Though there IS quite a lot of Southern Hospitality down here.
Also, another of my favorite funny moments: How did the dead baby cross the road?

Interesting considering that New Orleans has had a big influx of New Yorkers over the past fifty or so years, to the point where a lot of natives have a combination of a NY accent and cajun. Which I noted to a native one time when I visited New Orleans. He told me that makes sense because of the amount that moved from NY to New Orleans.

CK, I wasn't aware of the New York influence. Of course, New Orleans has been influenced by quite a few different people over the years.

Yeah, same with most big cities.. another funny moment was when Dinky tells Finli to shove his book where it doesn't shine...I got a good laugh at that.

When Sayre is telling Mia that she gets to keep the chap for five years and Detta Walker says..."dass raht, darlin, dass raht," she cackled, "he won't come in yo' mouf or get it in you' hair!"
Oh boy does detta have a way with words.

I just read that part as I was looking through SoS poking around for an answer to Daghain's trivia question. That part is hysterical.
