    There is a pretty substantial gap between LSoE and Gunslinger.

    It's absolutely possible that she picked it up from Eddie. I can imagine them talking about anything.
    If it's out of her time or not I cannot decide because I am not a native speaker.

    Roland would have understood.

    Because it's simply stated, but true and very significant. There is much about Roland's past that nobody is ever going to know but Roland.

    Yeah, I think I could listen to him and his stories in the rest of my life.

    I think the word "easy" when referring to a woman of loose sexual morals has been around for a very long time.

    Me too razz, I was born in the 50's and have heard that phrase all my life, well not about me personally, but in reference to loosely moralled women.

    The earliest etymological reference I can find so far with any sort of sexual connotation (I just did a brief search) is a 1912 reference from US slang...this was simply the expression easy rider as a descriptive term for a sexually satisfying lover. Most likely the modern interpretation was evolved shortly after if not before this I'd guess.

    I guess many phrases are much much older than we can imagine.

    I agree 100% with Letti, i'd love to have Roland sitting across from me, telling a tale or two.

    I believe that were we to find out more of Roland's past, he would have came across many of sai King's many creations. Perhaps even disposed of (or aided) a few of thse on some level of the tower.

    Default Dark Tower symbols

    Anyone have a good source of Dark Tower symbols ("Unfound", Crimson King's Eye, Ka, a cool looking '19', etc)?

    If not a link, maybe post the best quality symbol here in this thread.

    I'm considering a DT tattoo...not a portrait or picture, but a symbol (to match my other tats).

    Thanks!

    Hi Dandelo. I'm thinking that we do but I can't find it. I'll look into it. Daghain and/or Darkthoughts would be the best people to ask here if we have a collection.

    Yup, saw that thread. Some really cool stuff in there!

    I tried Googling too, but a lot of the images are low quality, etc.

    ...oh, and thanks for the Welcome! Signed up a while ago, still lurk a bit, but posted for the first time this morning.
