I've seen this quote all over the internet attributed to SK as if he actually said it himself. But I'm 90% sure that this quote was actually from Desperation and was said by Johnny Marrinville. Can someone tell me if I'm correct or not? Thanks.

according to the Dark Tower wiki site, it's from Wizard and Glass :orely:
nope, I was wrong. It's The Stand (near the end of Ch 48). Page 617 in uncut edition and (i think) 607 in original. try that :)
Thanks. Do you know the context of it?
EDIT: NVM, I have a copy. I'll see if I can find it...
let's see...

trashcan man is the freaking best:onfire:
yes, yes he is :pirate:
Cyber, I don't mean this unkindly at all, but does a yes/no question that's likely to be answered quickly really require it's own thread? I mean isn't there a preexisting thread you could ask questions such as this in?
I don't think we have a quick non-DT Q&A thread right now; maybe the present one should develop into such (after renaming)

At some point or another we all have a question that maybe we aren't sure *which* book it relates to...so I thought I'd start a thread....
For a few days now I've had a rhyme that I've now googled to find is an old folk song, but for some reason, I swear that it was brought up or quoted in some Stephen King book, but I can't remember which or why...anybody recognize this:
"And the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
The cat came back he just couldn't stay away"
Not sure if the whole rhyme is related to the book...but at least "And the cat came back the very next day".
Vague enough?? Was hoping one of our members with a photographic memory for King would remember if/which book it was quoted in.
I don't recall that at all.
I know alot of the older books have quotes and snippets of song lyrics before the chapter, so I'll look in mine.
good thread idea though.
Not vague at all. I'd think that one would be self-evident. It's in Pet Semetary.
Oh, my. Of course it would be Pet Semetary...which now makes this feel even MORE odd for me, as I haven't read that book in YEARS! I wonder what made that rhyme pop into my head?
lol, nice Path, way to make me feel like an idiot :lol:
It's also a cartoon that I love! And that damned song is catchy. Thanks, Ves - now I'll have to go to the 'song you can't get out of your head' thread. :lol:
*twilight zone music*
So not only have I not read that book in at least 10 yrs...I just looked at the shelf--I don't even own it! I wonder if the spirit of Pet Semetary is trying to tell me something????? :panic:
Hopefully it's saying "Hey, go buy that book, and re-read it dumb shit" and not something more cryptic.
:lol: right!
When you all get to my age, you'll just define that as a "senior moment"!

I'm blaming pregnancy brain...
and I'm blaming my comment that could be construed as mean on hormones.
It's good to be a woman sometimes.
it wasn't construed as mean, it was correctly interpreted as funny.:rock:
no worries kid, and pregnancy is awesome:huglove:
mostly because it doesn't happen to guys. :P
