    2D gets religious as QB gets back on track.

    It's disaster for Penfailed though, could that be it, has QB done enough?

    Question 4: Stephen King has co-written a number of novels - name one.


    Straub and King were an interesting pair. Collaborating on this gem:

    latest?cb=20170430161455


    Or how about when he co-wrote one with his son Owen? (Which has been picked up by AMC of Walking Dead fame for a possible series)

    Other people grow babies in the time it took this sheep to run, and I changed absolutely not at all. Booo. I'm really disappointed in myself. :(

    Thanks Necro. Tough going with Boards as it was.

    Not bad considering I haven’t read most of the books questioned here. Counted them up earlier and I’ve only 11 read. Need to fix that fairly pronto.

    As this was my first venture into this forum, I'm a bit clueless... What's PEEHS? Are there other versions other than Sheep and PEEHS? Maybe there's a FAQ that I've missed...

    PEEHS is opposite of Sheep. Lowest (correct) answer is best. Consider it s as Pointless to Sheep’s Family Fortunes.

    Sheep = find most popular answer
    Heeps = find 2and most popular answer
    Peehs = find least popular answer

    Hope that clarifies things :pac:

    And welcome to FG...stick around and play some more :)

    Turns out today was rather fitting for a Stephen King reveal.

    46 yrs ago to the DAY he released his debut novel, Carrie :D
