Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"?
Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
Aragorn: I like "Strider."
Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.
What Nutty is calling Atlantis is, in the backstory of the novels, the land of Numenor, which was located in the middle of the ocean, between Middle-Earth and Valinor.
So, basically Atlantis, complete with associations of lost golden age, and nasty fate (i.e., overthrown and drowned).
Númenor.
Actually, I just like typing the special code to make the little acute mark.
Aha. I bow to all y'alls knowledge.
And I feel pretty smart for twigging to the fact that "Atlantis" was too weird for LotR.
Isn't that second thing actually in the book ita? Because I seem to remember it. . .
Yes, it is, I think. I should unwhite that second part.
Oh, and somebody on lotr_boys posted that Legolas arrow picture . . . I was going to ask you to do it, but now I don't have to!
The second part is in the book.
One of my neighbors has a license plate that says FLYUFLZ.
I can't figure out how to reduce "They have a cave troll" to license-plate-ese.
Use a bumper sticker for that one, and for your license plate, have "IMNOMAN".
Or "RNGISMNE".
Better yet, "USHLNTPS".
USHLNTPS
HA!
Oh, I must have this. First, I'll need to get a car.
