Northland Trilogy/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Drake provides a lot of these. Some examples: "REINDEER PISS?"; All of the attempts to obtain Hammerspace: "Why are you tied up?"; and not least, the rules for which songs to sing at a wedding: "Roses in May" is an appropriate song. "Janka se Sirram" is not. Dancing on a table and miming it is absolutely forbidden.
    • ANY bits we hear of "Janka se Sirram." Just one example: "Drake, about a yard from unconsciousness, was sputtering feebly about the intriguing (and, in my estimation, very painful) way Janka se Sirram swept the floor."
  • The Trolls That Sort Rocks.
    • "These rocks move, Aa!"
  • "Can you direct me to the filthiest tavern in town?" It WORKS.
  • "Duuuuuude!"
  • Also, the nonstop Who's on First? joke with Shash's name.
    • To elaborate, every time someone says "Shash!" addressing the man, Drake innocently says "I wasn't saying anything!"
    • Even better, Shash joins in on the joke, saying "Yes?" any time someone says "Shush!", even when it was clearly intended as "Shut up!"
    • All of which leads to a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when close to the final battle, Otsi says "I wasn't saying anything!" when the opportunity comes, after Drake is dead. Especially since they had been very Vitriolic Best Buds, this counts for a posthumous Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other moment.
