Name That Character

[maddy]

For the past three days I have been going crazy trying to remember where I read about a certain character. A long time ago I read a book with a character that ate used tissues out of the trash. *rubs face in resigned embarrassment* So, I can't really remember many details but I think this person(?) was responsible for cleaning rooms and always went through the trash cans for used tissues (the goodies he found were also described in horrible detail). In all honesty, I can't be 100% this was a King book, but, really, who else could create something so random and disgusting that it would pop up in my head years later and haunt me.

Thanks Maddy now I am going to spend the next few days going crazy about who it is.

My first thought was it was Trash can man......

OMG! I think it just came to me....

Wasn't it the guy from DT 5 or 6 the one who planted all the bombs in the breakers compound??? Miss Mod am I right? =)

Hi,

It is indeed a Sai King character, one of the Taheen from Dark Tower if memory serves..

Finli O'Tego perhaps?

Nah, that character (whose name I don't remember either!) was eating the writer's semen beacause she was trying to get pregnant. And her son became a famous writer and thanked her in his book's dedication...

I also think it was a Taheen... but for his precise name, your guess is as good as mine!

Hi,

No, I was wrong, it's the Rodericks.

'Boogers are their favourite tasty treats. According to Finli O'Tego, it is not good to touch the skin of a Rod since many of the diseases they carry are easily transmittable' (Robin Furth's invaluable Concordance).

The character was a bit player in one of the last Dark Tower books.

She was a woman with a secret that was described in great detail, she also cleaned the corners until her fingers bleed. Not sure of her name.

Or was it Sheemie? For the life of me I can't remember at the moment.

Sounds like the story "Dedication" from Nightmares and Dreamscapes

You are thinking of the story where the woman is getting the Natural Father for her unborn child. That was gross.
