Seriously. What.

If Terry Goodkind can write shit like this (which is meant to be serious, by the way, not funny) then there is no reason why I shouldn't expect that some publisher somewhere will throw thousands and thousands of dollars at me for my writing.

This is just beyond stupid, and the dude is a NYT Bestseller. What?

Hissing, hackles lifting, the chicken

Man, that's some Skylos-quality writing right there.

You know, that thought crossed my mind at first, too.

That reminded me of "I once had a chicken..." I just recently found out that Harry Belafonte recorded that song, so I immediately bought it on iTunes.

That's a real (origins outside of camp) song?! Wow.

Also your icon is awesome. I keep meaning to buy that movie on DVD. I LOVED it when I was little.

[devinshire]

Haha! Thanks. It's one of my favorites - so mesmerizing!

You don't get it. You lack moral clarity, that's all. 'Cause the chicken/not chicken is, uh..oh man I've got nothing.

(there's also a pretty good bit about a "noble goat" in one of his books. How Goodkind feels about opossums, tortoises or seagulls remains to be seen).

After reading the Evil Chicken passage online, I picked up one of his books at a used book store and thumbed through it looking for more hilarity. I saw several mentions of a goat named Betty that some chick was really attached to. Would this be the NOBLE GOAT by any chance?

WHO KEEPS GIVING THIS MAN CONTRACTS?

It gets better.
