I Grok The Stand

Me: Did you read The Stand yet?

Ben: Not just once, but twice.

Ben: But I've heard that the third time through is necessary to really grok the narrative.

Me: What does "grok" mean?

Ben: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok

Me: So it's not a synonym for "fuck" as I suspected.

Ben: It could be, for certain definitions of "fuck."

Me: Do you like Stephen King so much you fuck his books?

Ben: I have a confession.

Ben: When you told me not to fold, spindle, or mutilate your books, you did not specifically exclude penetration.

Me: Well at least Eye of Dagron is okay.

Ben: Yeah ew.
