To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Whoo hoo! I just discovered that I have about 10 new channels on my cable, including the Biography channel, just in time to catch the Biography on Lord of the Rings (which was a new special about all three films, not just RotK). Too late to catch the JRR Tolkien show on Ovation, which I've been wanting to see for a year or so. It'll be on eventually, I'm sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, that's the one. It'll be back, too, I bet.

move out and draw fire

See, when I go into my little cave, I don't know about stuff like the Biography thing or the Ovation thing, so I don't know what I'm missing, so the crack withdrawal doesn't bother me. Then I find out about it and get the shakes.

Art Crawl!!!

My Viggo Mortensen book came in yesterday -- at the beginning are two little pictures of (I assume) Viggo as a boy.

One a very young Viggo on a goat entitled "Stor Viggo" -- and the other of three young boys on horseback in front of a bunch of herefords where Viggo is called "lille" Viggo.

Are "stor" and "lille" Danish for something like small, little, baby?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

According the the online Danish dictionary I just checked, "lille" means small, and "stor" means big.

Why is he on a goat? Are people allowed to sit on goats? Or are there special Danish riding goats?

See, I am pissed that all the acting was glossed over, but ... I'm happy in the end.
