Since when are you going to close the tag on straight men?
This is one of the instances where I differentiate between being and doing.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

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".

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

Thanks for the accurate diagnosis. I'm forever explaining the diff between people with schizophrenia and MPD. We can thank bad movies for that!

Wow. Speaking of bad movies, the imdb description of "Tracker" made me want to stick something sharp (and hot) in my eye. Oy!
Fortunately, I haven't owned a tv in nearly 7 years, so I'm spared the inadvertant stumble into such scarring material. I feel for them who've seen it.
That's ANOTHER thing I wonder about...who is it who sits in a pitch meeting hearing someone describe something like that, and then says, "Great idea!" That can't really happen, can it?
Then again, I thought Quantum Leap was a dopey idea and look what happened there...huge success and about a thousand rip-offs.

How have you kept up with Buffy, et al., then?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The truly scary part is that he works in HR in a law firm. I really don't want to know what use they have for it there.

Myers-Briggs is just the beginning...

(pulls up a chair in case deb wanders by and a Myers-Briggs smackdown commences)
I suppose I could try to get this thread back on topic by positing the MBTIs of the LOTR characters...Frodo's an INFJ. Sam's an ISTJ. Mippin's ENTP. Gandalf, INTP.

I've never understood the whole MBTI thing (actually, I'd never even heard of them before the Buffistas)--what exactly do all those initials mean?

Merry and Pippen have the same Myers Brigg? I should do some reading, but they shouldn't, I don't think.
