The only science fiction I like is HHGTTG and Red Dwarf. So I wouldn't have a clue about the rugrat who deserves a belt round the ears for kickin' a defenceless pig. :(( :D

You're such a ham...
It was a doctor who was to blame. Reckoned he needed the bread.
Is this a Dr Seuss thing? :?
You are well read. :oo:
No Doctor Who. Tom Baker also stared in some of Ray Harryhausen's films
Edit Got a post eaten :? was that what happened to the pig kicker.. got eaten by pigs?
Yeah, so what happened to the boy who kicked pigs?
I haven't read it so its all guess work.....did he get trampled to death by them?
Silent,
I cheated a bit by googling boy who kicked pigs. Plus I don't want to have to come up with another quiz.
But what a sick book that looks to be. Did you enjoy it?
Maybe he'll have a sequel about the boy who pulls wings off of flies and becomes a leader of a major political party or something equally depressing.

It was a very strange little book written by an obviously disturbed person. Hard to say if I enjoyed it or not. If you take it as a joke, then it's amusing, but if you take it seriously, well, let's just say that the Tom Baker Doctor Who character was not far off the mark...
In the end, our hero ends up impaled in the top of a tree where he dies a horrible, painful, lonely death befitting his horrid existence. You see, it's a fairytale with a moral. And a very odd book.
OK, what happened to Owen Meaney? I'll find someone with the same weird tastes if it kills me.
Yes I cheated as well just to keep things kicking along......so to speak so the little blighter got eaten by rats unless I've been led astray?
I thought being eaten by pigs had more of a poetic justice feel to it or perhaps falling onto a bacon slicing machine...
Edit I was led astray...never beleive what you read on the net!
Oh no, he was eaten by rats all right. I don't have it in front of me, but from memory he ends up impaled in the trunk of a tree that has been torn in half by a storm (or maybe lightning) and as he's lying there, the rats get him.
I love your posts Darren. They make me feel normal. Don't be disgusting, I'm married to normal:D :D :D or so she has me believe.
I reckon Owen Meany was killed by a hand grenade.....if I remember rightly......in the toilet of an airport..........whilst saving a child from certain death. IN CAPITALS IF YOU DON"T MIND.
And I loved the "Holy Goalie" bit.
Over to you Noel!
