Bloggettes: Jon Snow - Bastard of Winterfell, Rick Moranis, and Dance Moms

Dance Moms is one of those shows I wouldn't readily admit to watching last season.  Its the same sort of sensationalized made-for-television-drama that I've picked on the Kardashians about mercilessly.

However, I got sucked into it last season when I had a cold and there was literally nothing else on TV.

The Show is Bat Crap Crazy.  Kathy is the biggest Guano Bowl.

I mean, I thought Abby Lee was crazy at first... but when we get into the second season, Kathy shows her true colors and she will stop at nothing... to come in 8th place when Abby is coming in first.

Underhanded tactics like putting girls in the wrong age category, using her own daughter as a human prop to be able to enter lower age categories (basically, the actual dancers were much older and thus more experienced, but in order to compete against Abby Lee in a lower age category, she put her daughter in the group dance... sitting there or standing there, like a prop), trying to steal clients, and basically just being a nasty little witch.... Kathy is fucking nuts.

Whatever happened to Rick Moranis?  The last thing I remember seeing him in was the Flintstones.

I've mentioned in the past how much I've really been enjoying A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.  I've read the first four books (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows) and started A Dance With Dragons about two weeks ago.

If you are interested in the show, or books, but haven't finished the series (as it stands), you may not want to read below this line, because I'm about to talk about some shit.  And by that, I mean there will be spoilers.

I'm not kidding.

If I were Jon Snow, and I was bastard born, and my whole life, people had looked down on me because I was a bastard, the wall might seem like a good idea to me.

However, if a King came along and said "Yo, Jon, here's the dealie... you marry this HOT chick, I legitimize your Bastardy and make your claim to your father's heir legit, you get Winterfell, the title, the money, AND you get to leave this fucking cold ass wall,"  I might have to take him up on that.

I mean, yes, Jon took a vow, and he seems to be blighted by the same intense system of honor that his father was, but I almost think that in this particular situation, almost anyone would have understood if he had taken Stannis's offer.  So what does he do?

He fucking stays on the wall.  What the fuck Jon?  Your men are going to kill you, and if they don't, The Others will.

Also, I want a dire wolf.
