A little bit of thought makes me realize you’re right, LOL.
Thanks for the correction.

There’s a guy like that at the ACE Hardware store parking lot down the road, and I can get Shiner Bock at the Kroger around the corner. If they only had Academy next door...

How about we have the thought police review any new books before they can be published?

It’s been sometime since I read “The Stand,” but I seem to remember one scenario when two really bad guys broke out of prison and were on the road somewhere in the Southwest, they encountered a broken down car and pulled over to see what they could steal. The driver of the broken down car staggered around the car. One of the bad guys, nicknamed “Poke,” shot the poor guy with his immense revolver and said “that dude’s been ‘Pokerized.’” Or words to that effect. IMHO, Stephen King peaked with “The Stand.”

“King is perpetually “in recovery” from drug/alcohol addictions. So we don’t know exactly who he was on the day he wrote this.”

That is what I thought when a famous writer makes a spelling error in an 18 word comment.

I bet he was writing fast and thinking little.

isn’t it time for King to step out a little further into the roadway?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think that booze or cigarettes have their own specific amendment in the Bill of Rights.

You are wrong. That comes right after the amendment in which the Founders gave their blessing to child murder.

Offhand I can’t think of any “regulations” on cigs and alcohol thank don’t also apply to guns. In fact, guns are already the more regulatedf - you don’t have to fill out forms to buy a six of Bud and a pack of Marlboros.

IMHO the most underrated band in America.

Had the pleasure of seeing them live dozens of times, met the band got the shirt signed by them all, including Hazel Miller.
I think Todd Parker Morh is probably the best rhythm guitarist on the planet *hat tip to Keef Richards*

Priceless

Go see them.

It is time for guns, booze and tobacco to be as unregulated as Colorado pot.

Yeah, the guy Lloyd was running around with.. that’s the only instance I CAN recall of a weapon in the book.

Mother Abigail instructed the four to go West with nothing, no arms, just leave now. Even the spy gal that got to Flagg only packed a blade for the fight.
