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
just watched Dolans Cadillac, a new stephen king film i think, and was wondering if Jim Dolan supposed to be Flagg? Theres so many things that point to it directly, at least in the movie, havent read the story.
So has anyone else seen the movie and thinks the same?
Seen it and read the story. No connection. Dolan is just a hood.
Ok, so this has been driving me crazy - WHAT King story contains a scene beginning in an abandoned diner with a white children's tennis shoe? I know that is super vague, but it is one of those "tip of the brain" things that is absolutely KILLING me, do ya kennit. Help?!? Thanks!!
In fact, there is a connection! The movie begins with the description of Randal Flagg from The Stand! They used it to describe Dolan! It was very strange! And stupid, i think! Flag is way more evil, interesting and "classy" character than Dolan. Dolan was a small fish! He didn't earned this awesome description!
I'm thinking Cell also, but like you I think it's just the child's shoe that's leading me there.
I think this may be something that happened in DT books but I can't be sure and it's driving me nuts: whose father poisoned a neighbor's horses during the Depression and forced the farmer to move on? I read a ton of books this winter and for some reason the little backstory bit is stuck in my head and I can't place it. It was a white guy who was a kid in the Depression and the farmer was black. I don't even remember what the point or context was. The only character I can think of Prentiss. Is that right? Anyone? Sorry for putting this in non-DT questions but I can't remember. I read all seven of them a couple months ago and then a wack of other King novels. It may have been in Blaze?
Not what you are looking for but there is a Pimli(?) Prentiss in one of the DT books. He didn't work with horses though
^ is a major spoiler for people who haven't read DT: VII, maybe it should be in a spoiler tag.
I agree! It should be spoilered, please.
No worries! You just need to click the radioactive symbol in the box you post in for spoilers. :)
What do you think that happens after, in the book Cell...
Spoiler:
I would kill to know what happened after the book finished, and who made all the mess...
And... this will be stupid but I am a Cat-Lover, yes... What happens with Tom's Cat...
The one that Clay mentions "President of the US" :doh:
PD: Cell was the first S.K. book I ever red...
I could not sleep the first night after reading it... that means that I did not get to the part that says that the phone-crazyes do not enter in the houses during the first night XD 03-03-2010 01:19 PMKronz@savvy yeah I remember Prentiss, it is just the backstory I can't place. It just reminded me of the Hanlons in It, but in a different novel. Any help?
