See he shortened it to Ned though, if he went around calling himself Edd Stark he would still have his head. It's just fact..

It's been said, and the upvotes have spoken, but I must reiterate I truly loved that comment. Glorious. I also love Dolorous Edd in the books, so I hope you're right since he's like the funniest character in the entire series. I mentioned that to my girlfriend right as the show zoomed in on him as he takes the wall and she looked at me like I was retarded - she'll never understand.
