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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Yah. Me too.

Probably posted already (I'm a day or nine behind) but

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm having fun reading those parody scripts!

GHOST: Hello! Welcome to the Paths of the Dead. We ask that you keep your hands and arms to yourselves at all times, as the ceiling is low in places, and fighting back will only prolong your ghastly death. Unless of course you are the heir of Isildur, in which case you and your party get a free pass.
ARAGORN: Hey, that's convenient. I AM the heir of Isildur!
GHOST: Got any ID?
ARAGORN: Sure, hang on a sec.
ARAGORN starts digging through his knapsack for his Ranger license.

From TTT:

GOLLUM: No! Smeagol not into ropes, nassty kinky hobbitses.
FRODO: We just want you to take us to Mordor, you sicko.
GOLLUM: Mordor? Hobbitses having little Goth phase, maybe? Very angsssty, wanting to go to Mordor, yes yes. Can Smeagol offer black eyeliner to angsssty hobbitses?
SAM: You stop talking to Mr.--hmm. (to FRODO) You know, you wouldn't look half bad in eyeliner.

ARAGORN arrives and collides with LEGOLAS.
LEGOLAS: Oh, good HEAVENS. You look TERRIBLE. You are NOT wearing THAT to the battle tonight, are you? And your HAIR! What will we DO with you?
ARAGORN: Nice to see you, too.

LEGOLAS: This is going to be most unpleasant. Hundreds of people will die.
ARAGORN: Thank you, Captain Obvious.
LEGOLAS: You're just jealous because I'm pretty.
ARAGORN: You're just jealous because I'm going to be king.
LEGOLAS: You can bite my ass.
ARAGORN: Hey, blow me.
(Ten minutes later)
LEGOLAS: I didn't mean that.
ARAGORN: It's okay. Me neither.
LEGOLAS: Kiss and make up?
ARAGORN: How about I squeeze your shoulder in a very special way?

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

Legolas/Aragorn is the funniest shit ever.

I am so easy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So are they.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hmm. Dunno what happened to the TTT link. Maybe it got overloaded.

I've moved to a new cube, so it means new people staring at my quasi-altar.

Just finished a conversation that almost made me cry -- guy thought RotK was the best of the three, but too long, and made a handwaving self-conscious yet vague analogy to sex. I explained to him that the ends, then, were akin to cuddling, and some people like that. "That's why no one I know finished reading them, I guess."

It felt at that point like TMI to tell him I read them all the way through, multiple times.

But I did anyway.

Another woman just told me my wallpaper was wrong. I explained to her how much research I'd done in choosing it (well. like none, and she admitted this way meant we wouldn't be in conflict. It hadn't occurred to me that the picture on my desk she was pointing to appreciatively was Aragorn.

She told you your wallpaper was wrong?

Did any of the Australian Buffistas go to the Trilogy?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Okay, mention earlier of Blade Runner in another thread made me remember this. For those of you who saw Blade Runner, when Sam and Frodo march out of Cirith Ungol in orc armor, they always remind me of Sebastian's toys.

Just me, then?
