Using a metaphor in front of a man as unimaginative as Ridcully was like a red flag to a bu-- was like putting something very annoying in front of someone who was annoyed by it.

"There must be a hundred silver dollars in here," moaned Boggis, waving a purse. "I mean, that's not my league. That's not my class. I can't handle that sort of money. You've got to be in the Guild of Lawyers or something to steal that much."

Terry Pratchett’s on Tolkien’s influence on fantasy:

J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it’s big and up close. Sometimes it’s a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it’s not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji.

And just like in Ankh-Morpork, I expect they are unionised and left a receipt!

@cstross It's interesting to read #Discworld with this perspective. The early books had Ankh-Morpork as a generic fantasy city with none of that filled in. By "Night Watch" we saw Vimes ruminating about the number of cattle that had to be slaughtered each day to keep everyone fed, and how easily a stupid ruler could accidentally break that supply line.

The people who really run organizations are usually found several levels down, where it is still possible to get things done.

Has anyone collected and published the wisdoms/beliefs of Granny Weatherwax from all the #Discworld books she is in? I want to collect them, but it occurs to me someone may already have done it, and that person might be on the fediverse.
