Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh! Duh. I kept thinking "ush lentpis? There must be something I'm missing!"

I posted this a while ago, but it's so cool it bears repeating. I saw a silver Jetta with a plate which read MITHRIL

But IMNOMAN works. Of course, it'll be amusing when my husband's driving the car.

Have him put on some furry feet and Rohirric armor--he can be Merry.

I'm trying to think of other plate possibilities.

If you're in a two-car household, with one car grey and the other white, you could have GANDALF1 and GANDALF2, respectively.

A blue car (and if you're an Imrahil fan)--DOLMROTH

A white Mustang--ASFALOTH or SHADOWFX

Hey, I've got a white Mustang II! But I think SHDWFX might mess up the Miskatonic Alumni theme I've got going. A license plate reading CTHLOO might be tempting the fates.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Tell the fates it stands for "Clean TH' LOO".

Yeah, like the fates would buy that.

Hey, if they do, I bet they do a great job bringing back that old sparkle to the porcelain.

"New! Extra strength FATE! Nothing brings that dingy porcelain back to life like a visit from the commanding forces of the universe! Never be ashamed to show your fixtures off to your friends, just invoke a visit from all-powerful, all-knowing FATE!"

Let me just say that the lavatory is the last place I plan to invoke visits, all-powerful and all-knowing notwithstanding.
