I didn't get to read this thread until this evening.

1) Even though I haven't been to therapy , I have seen a number of people do some short term stuff and it helped them a lot. Sometimes an outside voice helps

2) There is crazy stuff going on in the job world. Sending out the ma~~~`

3) Talk of Chocolate reminded me that the restaurant down the street has chocolate mouse with sea salt. I want it now.

4) I never thought about orcs having sex, and I refuse to do so

oh.... and which beer is the magic beer?

The orcs don't have sex. There are no female orcs and the whole birth-giving process seems to take place in a firey pit of Mordor. Where's StuntHusband to address this Tolkiengeek Point! Actually, we're up to our armpits in Middle Earth experts. Bev, Sumi, Connie, Kate...

But no orc sex.

Sure, maybe some shy glances and footsie, but that's it.

Come on - you're saying they never ever hit the pub, get shitfaced and start to wonder... what it's like?

...or maybe they think, "OK, so we can't eat the Hobbits...."

(Disclaimer. Not Merry and Pippin. Some other Hobbits no one's ever heard of.)

I expect shitfaced orcs sublimate their sexual urges into acts of random cannibalism. A little ear nibble and then...lobe-chomp!

The Boy is right because there is NO SEX in Middle Earth.

Except for Sam and Frodo.

In movie!Middle Earth Aragorn and Legolas are totally getting it on. In book!Middle Earth Legolas and Gimli are an item.

Lurtz makes shy glances at no one. But he's Uruk Hai. It's the Uruk Hai that are born at Mordor--a special breed of Saruman's. Garden variety orcs are corrupted elves.

Quick - someone ask StuntHusband if Orcs have sex....

eta: That didn't look right....

StuntHusband was calling us self-righteous and threatening to slap us last time he was around, so...
