Oh, and I'm official Gimp White Trash, having tied my footpedal on with old nylons...next I'll have a chair up on blocks in the yard.
making me giggle and whistful simultaneously...

I'm running out of mobile great-aunts, though. Just when I was finally reaching a point when I could tell them apart.
utterly nattery, but, hey, I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger around here anymore

My husband would like to warn erika not to try the blocks trick in our town, as he spotted a tow truck today with a chair on its hook. No mercy on the illegally parked, no, sir.

Allyson:
What's Gollum's problem?
DX:
He spent five hundred years with a ring that was sucking his soul. And it wasn't even a wedding band.
Further Allyson goodness from Dude:
Gollum is definitely doing the Sybil thing, right? Multiple personality disorder? Was he a hobbit once and now is an example of "this is a hobbit. this is a hobbit on rings. any questions?"
Explaining Middle-Earth to Allyson, in Dude:
Nutty:
Elves don't have last names, unless they feel like it. They are the Chers of Middle-earth.

The Silmarillion:
Likewise, we can't forget Fellatrixie, a lovely elvish maid of the forest who was popular with all the Noldor. She later became remarkably popular with both Dwarves and Men. She taught the fair Luthien much of her lore, which was a boon to Beren One-Hand. Legend has it that Feanor gave her more than a few of his first attempts at Silmarils, which she later wore on a custom made Dwarvish tongue-stud. She it was who lapdanced within the Halls of Mandos, giving many recent arrivals to those gloomy environs a renewed spark.
