              I had lobstraganda at first but amended to lobstroganda due to the quoted sources being lobstrosities.

              Well, I wasn’t 100% sure of how King had spelled it so I searched duck duck go for “ded-a-chek” and the Dark Tower Wiki entry for Lobstrosities topped the list. Sound out of deference to the source material: lobstroganda.

              Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

                Oh “lobstrosities” for sure (become a crab)

                But I’m firm on the “lobstraganda” (I don’t care just hurry up and become a crab already! - it just makes too much sense, for us crabs uh… gotta go, bye!

                life as a crab is awesome - are you really really sure that you don’t want to join us today already?

                Edit: it took far too much effort to make every single word small like that, so I totally lost track of what I was doing. So replace “crab” with… whatever you want:-).

        So I saw your comment, went to read the synopsis, and was nodding along like “Yeah, this good, what seemed weird?”…and then hit the line “Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers a shackled half-horse, half-human hybrid who begs him for help.”

        …wtf?
