That would be pretty stupid even for him, but nothing is off the table anymore, so fingers crossed.

Satire is dead. I earnestly predict at least one more pick on this list proves actually true.

Not even pretending to not be driven by cronyism.

I'm old school. I felt it happen with Bush v Gore.

That's all just snoke and mirrors.

Edit: I'm leaving that typo because it's funny, and would make for a great Star Wars character name, like Greedo.

It is fenced off on the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, but some good aim with a small catapult could still get the job done.

I don't think it's so much that people expect GRRM to die soon -- nevermind the fact that he's well into his 70s and rumors about his health are irrepressible -- as it is that the most recent book in the series was released thirteen years ago.

Between the first two books, there were two years, then another two years for book 3, then five years, then six. It's simply a matter of an unfavorable mathematical progression. Even if by some miracle he drops Winds of Winter tomorrow, the planned final book would seemingly take at least as long again to finish, and given the difficulty of endings, probably much longer than that. GRRM could live to 100 and we would be lucky to see him complete this series.

"Soon" doesn't even come into it.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They're already pre-migrated.

It's a GOD, stupid. It can do whatever it wants.

I don't understand why you don't just put the kids in the helicopter and fly them up to Grandpa's condo?
