"YOU CAN'T FIGHT ME, YOU KNOW."

"But, I'm Chuck Norris. I can whip anyone!"

"NOT ME. EVEN IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THOSE JOKES ARE ABOUT HOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY, 'WHIP ANYONE'."

Ah, I'd start with #TerryPrachett 's Nanny Ogg.

She likes a beer (or several), sings rude songs when 'refreshed', has a large extended family, and brooks no shit.

Pterry really was a gift for the ages. Page 11 of my umpteenth rereading of Witches Abroad, and I find something new to make me chortle.

Terry Pratchett had such great turns of phrases:

Ankh-Morpork! Pearl of cities! This is not a completely accurate description, of course β€” it was not round and shiny β€” but even its worst enemies would agree that if you had to liken Ankh-Morpork to anything, then it might as well be a piece of rubbish covered with the diseased secretions of a dying mollusc.

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men "Ordinary fortune-tellers tell you what you want to happen; witches tell you what’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. Strangely enough, witches tend to be more accurate but less popular."

-- Terry Pratchett

#TerryPrachett #Witch

Discworld: "Martina, who has a passion for bookbinding and DIY, decided to take on this mammoth project as her very first mechanical build. Her idea was both whimsical and practical in the most Nerdforge way: she would bind all 40 Discworld books and arrange them around a massive wooden wheel."
