I drove all night with the pedal to the metal and finally rolled into Adelaide at 5.00am this morning so I beat the sun!!!I stopped for breakfast at Dino's Bar and Grill and had some fried eggs with some toast.So now I'm back in my rented caravan (trailer) catching up on some good reading. Hey!!! Has anybody read Angels by Steve Harris? This is a creepy book about a road trip all throughout Europe and it's pretty good. I got two days off now to rest my old weary bones and then I'm pushing some frozen pokers back to Perth. "Pig in a poke ,you better start shaking. "Cos today's pig is tomorrow's bacon!!!" Keep the Faith!!!! 3 Fri September 06 2002 - 17:38:25 Fullname: Mark Your location: Edinburgh, Scotland Email: markovanwho@hotmail.com Comments: Don't know about the windiest city in Europe, but this house is the windiest in Causewayside......MY GOD that home-made lentil soup is like rocket fuel!!!! **SPOILER ALERT (BUT NOT FOR STEPH!!!)*** Hey Steph, no humping on surfboards......but read from page 391 to page 404.

Nah, just kiddin'. Thanks Pegleg, for that knowledgable breakdown on a "brick shithoose". Yes, the term does mean someone who is well built! Way hay! Chat ta ya all later!!!!!!!! 5 Fri September 06 2002 - 15:49:26 Fullname: pegleg Your location: still wandering Email: Comments: More on a Brick sh**house: http://phrases.shu.ac.uk/bulletin_board/8/messages/454.html In the first edition of "A Dictionary of Catch Phrases American and British," Eric Partridge called this a 20th-century low Canadian phrase, "applied to a very well-made fellow." Later he added more, including these extracts: "It has a much wider application and distribution than I had supposed . . .In Brit., as elsewhere, it is usu. used of a female: author Brian Aldiss remarks that [it] is 'a term of decided admiration for what is at once solid and female'; he thinks that the catchphrase 'must date from at least early C20, when such buildings had scarcity value'. It migrated to Aus., where it was extant in 1978 . . . Fain, 1978, notes that 'built . . .' 'became prevalent in the US at a time when most outdoor shithouses were made of wood, and a brick shithouse was really something to write home about'; he dates it from c. 1900 or a decade earlier. . . ." A mere speculation of mine: Besides its connotations of solidity and luxury (by comparison with the usual rickety wooden alternative), maybe the phrase owes some of its aptness to the fact that bricks in a building, like the women the phrase describes, are stacked, whereas lumber in a building is not. 6 Fri September 06 2002 - 15:43:33 Fullname: pegleg Your location: somewhere in America Email: Comments: Alan, Oddly, a "brick shithouse" is a term for a beautiful woman. It sounds pretty insulting, and as if it is describing a "square-shaped" person. Beats me. As to windiness, although Chicago is called "the windy city" it is supposed to have originated from political or other roots. Most of the Great Plains area is far windier.

I can't think of anyone in here who has has a bad word for that book. Besides, it's the oldest "unread" Laymon book that I own. "Island" would have been the first Laymon book that I was going to buy, if I hadn't opted for "The Stake". People are still either comparing or slagging off Stephen King in here. Hey, no, it's cool. Everyone to their own opinion. It's just that, I think both Laymon and King are unbeatable authors! Like Mike B. mentioned a while ago, it's true what he said - Laymon is into characterisation, King into Our Hidden Fears. Nicely put, Mike (at least, that's what I thought you said!). Both authors are just the tops and I equally love reading them both. I don't think I can choose anymore between the two. King used to be my favourite, but now they are both on a level peg! I also enjoy Herbert and that excellent vampire novel, "Vampyrrhic" by Simon Clark. Here's to ALL the terrific horror writers of our generation. Way hay! Have a great weekend people. Take care now... 8 Fri September 06 2002 - 15:22:45 Fullname: Peter Taylor Your location: Swansea Email: peter.taylor@freeserve.co.uk Comments: Hey just a question Steph. Do you like going down on all fours, baby? Also, did you know, and Alan and Mark might correct me here, but Edinburgh is the windiest city in Europe whilst Chicago is known as The Windy City? On to the subject of horror, I finished reading "Island" and thought it was the best Laymon I have encountered! 9 Fri September 06 2002 - 15:06:07 Fullname: Paul Duncan Your location: London Email: paul_f_duncan@hotmail.com Comments: It's probably only a rumour. 10 Fri September 06 2002 - 14:45:22 Fullname: Alan Ferguson AICB Your location: Penicuik Email: alan.fergusonaicb@btopenworld.com Comments: Dolph Lundgren would make a rather tall Leatherface. He's about 6 foot 5, ain't he? And, built like a brick shit-hoose! Whatever that means - supposedly a Scottish saying! Oh dear ... I must be one of the few adults/teenagers (well, I am definitely not a teenager, hee hee ) on this planet who HASN'T watched "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". 11 Fri September 06 2002 - 14:39:58 Fullname: Paul Duncan Your location: London Email: paul_f_duncan@hotmail.com Comments: Has anyone heard who is rumoured to be playing Leatherface in the Texas Chainsaw remake?

I'm seriously thinking of getting up an hour earlier cos by the time I get on this thing, you're all in bed sleeping!! I've finally got a RL book!!! Not the one I wanted though - I'm intrigued by Blood Games, Finlay & the surfer (thanks Mark!) I will let you know what I think of it when I finally read it! I got One Rainy Night because it reminded me off The Dark by James Herbert - another fantastic book!!! Mind you all of James Herbert's books are fab! Can't wait to read it!! Lisa, a tan is where the sun makes your skin go nice and brown - I know that it's hard to imagine that back home in good old GB - I came out here to work in April (I'm from Inverness originally - having spent the last 12 years between Edinburgh, Vancouver, Glasgow, San Francisco, London and then back to Inverness to buy a flat, which I then moved out of 3 months after getting the keys - itchy feet!!!) I definately recommend the travelling - great fun!! Especially when you get the weather! Alan, thanks for the photo, hopefully you were able to get the one that I sent to you. Mark, hopefully I can get home in Feb for the RL weekend - not promising much though cos out here in the States we only get 2 weeks holiday (sucks eh?) and I plan on doing a lot of travelling here while I have the chance - but I will be home one day and I'm sure that once you guys all meet up, it won't be for the last time! Can't wait to read Blood Games to see what Finlay & the surfer get up to!!!! Big Johnny MT - how's the trucking?? 20 Fri September 06 2002 - 00:00:21 Fullname: Neil Your location: Does anyone really care? Email: Why bother, no one ever uses it. We all reply to each other on here. Comments: Set an example Mark? I think I'm expected to as becasue of my age I will be classed as a mature student. Just as well they don't take my mental age into account!!! Back to Richard Laymon Kills 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
