DavidS-How scared am I that I'm not the only one with a DSM close by?'
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.

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.

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

Myers-Briggs is just the beginning...

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Merry and Pippen have the same Myers Brigg? I should do some reading, but they shouldn't, I don't think.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Steph L.--Have iMac with dvd player will travel. Netflix rules (!) and tvtome.com/buffyverse/younamethefansite keeps me up to date. I watch, I read, I absorb ambient pop culture. No need for a tv.
Besides, my name is Bj and I'm an addict...
If a tv is near, I'm pathologically drawn to it...very sad in a really sad, not funny sort of way.
I'll explore the diagnosis for THAT affliction right after I plead for a veer away from MBTI! Yeck. After 10 years as an organizational development consultant and 4 years as a therapist, I'm so up to here^ with MBTI.
I have this horrifying image of Samwise wearing an "ENFP spoken here" t.

Wow. (in the way only Allison Janney can say it) I seem to have killed the MBTI discussion without the promised smackdown. (whimper)
Kathy Astrom--MBTI is a personality type indicator based on Jungian psychology. It's great in that it presents people's differences as PREFERENCES, rather than good/bad. Which, in our pidgeon-holing culture is kind of great.
Sadly, in our pidgeon-holing culture, it is also used as a weapon of judgement and exclusion. Not so great.

On topic: I've been listening to the unabridged RoTK on tape recently and I have a question about dwarves.
In the appendices, we hear all about their lines and battles, and the various industries (very Quark-like really) but what I don't understand is, what is the deal with burying their dead in stone?

Well, weren't they formed out of stone to begin with?
