I might be mistaken, but isn't "Dead, D-E-D Dead" also a movie quote?

I know it was used in Robin Hood: Men in Tights (here's the specific scene), but I don't know that that's the first usage.
There's no better promise of entertainment to come than a brief, subtle mention of Harry making some calls off-screen.

If so, we've seen precious little allusion to it since.

Perhaps he doesn't like talking about the time he ate someone alive?
Currently dealing with a backlog of games.

If you want me to type up a book quote or find a WoJ quote, send me a PM.

Rest in peace mdodd.

It occurs to me that in a few days, a certain White Council of Wizards may, in fact, have this exact same discussion.

Perhaps, but considering how open he is in the text about the effect lash has on him and how much he is looking out for her influence for several books, as well as several other things he does not like talking about to other in-universe people, I would have thought any long-term effect he had noticed from Kravos would have been mentioned.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

Apparently if the senior council pooled their knowledge, they would have all the information about Harry's past.  Seems like that would kind of undercut this theory before it gets much momentum.  If the SC knew that Harry was Kemmler reborn, I think they'd have a more violent reaction.

The Merlin tried to kill him at least two times, that seem to me a pretty violent reaction....

OMG. I know it's a coincidence (nearly-WOJ), but:

Quote from: Wikipedia
Heinrich is a given name of Germanic origin and cognate of "Henry".

Harry is a male given name, the Middle English form of Henry.

D-E-D dead is Jim emphasizing dead and being cute at the same time.

Thanks, It was really bugging me. I would NEVER have guessed that one...

EDIT: I just found out the first time it was used, was Grease 2...
