The Lair of the White Worm movie got some commenters talking about Hugh "I'm Huge" Grant and some of his other films, including Bridget Jones's Diary, which gives me an excuse to tell this quick anecdote (because "story" is too strong a word):
For those who don't know, an...

2019-11-04 14:52:49 +0000 UTC View PostLet's try posting this again. We discussed the Lair of the White Worm movie, and attempted to answer these questions (and many more!):
-What the hell?
-Dampton, not Lambton?
-Will Conor do another cooking show of Earthworms pickled in Aspic?
-Is the White Worm Song Band av...

Three hypnotizing attempts, two destroyed castles, and countless walnuts later, Lair of The White Worm comes to an end. Break out the medium-grade china and cream-jug, because this is one episode you won't want to miss.

Deep into the book we get Lady A's mental state as she ponders her revenge on Caswell. For what, I've either forgotten or it's, surprise, unclear :
"She [Lady Arabella] must lure him to the White Worm’s hole–but how?"
I THOUGHT SHE WAS THE WHITE WORM?! DIDN'T WE ALREADY WORK...

Alright, alright, I saw the post, so I recruited my parents to help me test fly the evil bird kite. It did not stay up long enough to try to send it any notes, but I think it's easy to see how one could get obsessed with sitting and watching one of these hover in the air (in between going to slee...

2019-10-08 03:47:26 +0000 UTC View PostTo say that LOTWW took an unexpected turn in this section would be a slap in the face to unexpected turns. While it appeared to be inching (worm pun) its way toward an exploration of the enormous holes that TOTALLY PROVE the existence of giant worms, most of the second quarter of the book is dedi...
