Greetings all!
My name is Ken and I would like to join the discussion.
I am 26 years old and I live in North Carolina. I am
into knife throwing (thanks to Vlad), digital video
editing, knot tying, rock climbing, GPS mapping with
a handheld device, caving, rafting, and other outdoor
stuff, in addition to my specialty which is Inorganic/
Organometallic Chemistry. You can ask me about those
things off the list. I have two dogs
(www.unc.edu/~kstone/), and I think Steve can put two
words together. I have read all the Dragaera books and
pre-ordered SL, so there is nothing off limits for me.
Except I would like to read BP someday. I would like
to introduce myself by discussing a shard (no
spoilers here):
Quote from Outlaw Josey Wales:
-----------------------------------------------
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) by Warner Brothers
-about 20-30 min into movie
Wales: You have any food here?
Lone Watie: All I have is a piece of hard rock candy.
But it's not fur eatin', it's just fur
lookin' through.
Wales: Allrighty.
The Paths of the Dead (2002) by Steven Brust
-page 298 of hardback edition
Lady Teldra: No, I'm afraid I do not.
Why, have we no food left?
Morrolan: Just a piece of hard rock candy.
But-
Arra: Come then...

Know we know what he was going to say!
