I believe there is a Ron somewhere in everybook, and often more than one (as in The Truth). I know I began looking for them once I noticed. I've read that it was a quiet joke about Josh Kirby, whose official first name was Ron.

Oh! :idea: And I just remembered (dimly) that there is a character named Ronron. I did a quick google search and found it - Ronron "Revelation Joe" Shuwadi, the Klatchian mystic who invented the pizza - or at least claimed to have gotten the recipe from the Creator. He is mentioned in Mort. Apparently it came to him in a dream. Any Questions? (2)

Apparently, the Creator had a simple pepperoni and cheese pizza in mind when creating the Discworld, but slightly overdid it. The original pizza can be found in the Forbidden City of Ee - although, of course, that would require finding that city first.

In the computer game Discworld Noir, there is a big stained glass window in the Temple of Small Gods, depicting the moment when the creator gave the recipe to a mortal.

So maybe Ron's Pizza Hovel is named after the original Ronron, rather than The Restaurant Owned by the Evil Clown. Any Questions? (3)

Who is Glossy Ron, by the way? I don't remember him... :|

Also, any idea why Terry likes the name Ron so much? I'll admit, it's a good funny name - like Bob... Any Questions? (4)

That's a great bit of information, thanks.

That is... possible. See this entry at the L-Space wiki about the Soul Cake Duck. To quote:

The Soul Cake Duck is a minor (or at least not noticeably powerful) supernatural entity, the anthropomorphic personification of Soul Cake Tuesday, which curiously also marks the start of duck-hunting season. The first duck to appear on Soul Cake Tuesday is considered very lucky, but perhaps only to someone who would like a duck dinner, not the first duck itself. The Soul Cake Duck is rumored to be paranoid beyond sanity and generally in a very bad mood.

Soul Cake Tuesday seems to bear some relationship to All Hallow's Eve on Roundworld, where Soul Cakes also exist. Like the Easter Bunny on Roundworld, the Soul Cake Duck is associated with sweets and something called "trickle-treating." It lays edible eggs of a more confectionary variety than the usual duck egg.

In Hogfather, the assassin Jonathan Teatime reveals that he often used to lie awake in bed at night and think of ways to kill, not only the Hogfather, but also the Tooth Fairy and the Soul Cake Tuesday Duck. The Soul Cake Duck is also mentioned in The Discworld Companion.

However, if you take Hogfather as truth - for a given value of "truth" - then it seems pretty certain that the Soul Cake Duck is the Discworld equivalent of the Easter Bunny. Quoting again:

"She (Susan -Ed.) had never looked for eggs laid by the Soul Cake Duck." (Hogfather, pg. 66)

Hope this helps! Any Questions? (9)

Ron seems to be a favourite name for Terry - Ron and various Ron sounding names. Off the top of my head: Foul Old Ron, Ronald Rust, Hrun the Barbarian, Ronald the Third, Ronald Saveloy, and Glossy Ron. As to Ron's Pizza Hovel - maybe that's a pun on Ronald McDonald.

Hmmmm...you almost wonder whether Roland in the Tiffany Aching books is a a play on "Ronald."....

Any Questions? (2024)

FAQs

How do I answer the question "Am I enough?"? ›

Conclusion - You Are Enough

Everyone wrestles with the question of if they're good enough. You aren't alone. However, make sure you realize that "enough" doesn't mean "complete" or "everything." Instead, what it means is that you have the skills, abilities, tools, and wherewithal to achieve anything you want in life.

Do you have any questions to ask me interview answer? ›

Here are a few examples: “What does success look like for this position, and what are the biggest challenges?”, “How would you describe the company's culture and the dynamics of the team I would be working with?”, “What are the next steps in the interview process?”

What should I say in an interview if they ask if I have any questions? ›

If you have no questions, don't worry about asking any. If they ask, I just say, ”Thank you. I think you've covered everything.” The best response to " do you have any questions for us " at the end of a job interview is to ask thoughtful and relevant questions that show your interest in the company and the position .

How to accept that you are enough? ›

Take time each day to write down something positive you have done that day or something you like about yourself. This encourages you to focus on the good stuff and helps you to ignore the critical voice. Done regularly, this can contribute to learning to accept yourself.

What are your three weaknesses? ›

12 Best Weaknesses to Share With an Interviewer. I have difficulty working with others. I can be disorganized. I have trouble delegating work.

Should you ask any questions after an interview? ›

Asking thoughtful questions at the end of an interview is a great way to show the hiring manager that you're interested in the job and that you've done your research.

How to answer questions do you have? ›

The short answer in most cases is just Yes, I do. Short answers are ellipted so that you don't have to repeat the whole sentence: — Do you have money? — Yes, I do have money.

Do you have any question or questions? ›

The word ANY means some, or even the smallest amount or number of. Therefore, you can't use the singular form. The correct way to 'say this would be: ''Any questions? '' or in a full sentence ''Do you have any questions?

Do you have any questions, no or none? ›

"None" is an answer for a “how many” question. The full answer using “no” is “No, I don't have any questions.” The full answer using “none” is “I have none.” (none referring to HOW MANY questions). As you can see, they both make sense.
