So, someone on my LJ Flist was bored and decided to fool around with texts/lines from LotR by substituting random words with "pants". I am either addled from staying up too late or am eight-years-old like Jane, because this is making me laugh like a hyena.

Examples;

Gondor has no pants. Gondor needs no pants.

A shadow and a threat have been growing in my pants.

It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the pants of men.

I told you to take the Wizard's pants!

Abandon your pants! Run for your lives!

...and so on.

It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the pants of men.

It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the world of pants.

Gondor has no pants. Gondor needs no pants

Love that!

Still, none of those can beat "There is a shadow and a threat growing in my pants" from FotR.

Also a transcript of Sean Astin's appearance on The View and here is another chance for Californios to meet Viggo.

Thanks! That was a nice interview.

There's another interesting Sean Astin interview in Rolling Stone.

Back in 2000 my brother sent me a bit about a game where you substitute "pants" for a word in a quote from Star Wars. Definitely coffee on the monitor stuff.

"Use the pants, Luke!" "I used to bulls-eye womp-rats in my pants back home." "A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old master."

Points were given for knowing the speakers and re-constructing the original quote. Wish I had a place to post the whole thing, but it's long.

My welcome message when I turn on my phone is "Not idly do the pants of Lorien fall."

If only...

"They run as if the very pants of their masters were behind them."

"There is some evil here, that gives them pants, and yet sets its will against our own.
