No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Early ,'Objects In Space'


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

From Una's link, this cracked me up:

BEREN: Ooo! Pretty elf lady!
THINGOL: You can have her if you ... BRING ME A SHINY!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The accent discussion over in Minearverse reminded me that DH's Q&A w/ Billy Boyd went online today. It's here.

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

That's a link to an ad for me.

Huh, that's odd. I copied it out of the address bar.

Try this one.

Now I've read the interview and you know what?

Want RotKEE NOW.

I want BB now, and he can bring OB and the EE too.

I was going to admit this as part of the accent discussion in the Minear thread - but there for a while after hearing Billy on the audio commentary for TTT - I seriously thought I might have to move to Scotland in order to find an adequate man. God I love that accent.

I am not afraid to post that here. You all know of (and many share in) my completely insane hobbit obsession.

And yes, wanting the RotK EE very badly.

Tina, on the interview tape, he says hello to me. I played that 2-second clip so. many. times.

I only wish my name had an 'r' in it. He's got such lovely 'r's...
