    Reminds me of that as well, although with more (and interesting) detail, as Mae pointed out. I like it.

    Painting that house would be a pain in the neck...
    Remember how Bill Parcells said "you are what your record says you are"? It's like that.

    Can't say I'm shocked you're unable to back up your bizarre statement of King espousing the belief that minorities are 'not corrupted by "civilization" and therefore living in harmony with nature etc’ or that you couldn't think of any King character from the last twenty years that it might apply to.
    A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.
