Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

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.

move out and draw fire

We snarked with affection. We even had the dwarf anti-defamation league, ironically enough in the form of a 6'3" man.

I wish I was going to be anywhere near a concentration of Buffistas this December for a ROTK snarkfest.

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Every time I watch the scene in FOTR with Saruman and Gandalf walking through the forest around Isengard, and Saruman says "TIME? What time do you think we have?", I always want to say "TIME?! Time is what turns kittens into CATS!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I always want to say "TIME?! Time is what turns kittens into CATS!"

Do you want to say it or do you actually say it?

Hee! Sorry.

For some reason I also twitched to David Warner in "Time Bandits".

"Nipples for men?! If I were Iluvatar I would have started singing lasers...eight o' clock, day one!"

Heh. Depends on where I am and who I'm with, and whether I choose to make my ubergeekiness known to all. (Look, everyone knows I'm a geek. But sometimes I like to take it that extra step.)

Well, the guy in question's a Pratchett fan also, so if I'd known this line to use he'd've laughed...but alas, I am Pratchett-deficient.

I watched FOTR again over the weekend, or actually had the EE in the DVD player with the actor's commentary track on. I was so stunned that they got Nigel Tufnel to do commentary! Then I realized that was Orlando.

Thank you for the best laugh I've had all day, Raquel.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Dana, just to let you know, it looks like I will not have the funds or time to head to Houston for the concert.

I'm pretty disappointed, but I keep reminding myself... House! HOUSE!!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw. Well, I'm sure I won't shut up about it for a while, so you'll experience it vicariously.

At rehearsal Tuesday, I picked up on the fact that we're even singing in Rohirric (right adjective?) and heard a little bit of the Rohan theme in the accompaniment.
