Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And wings.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

They're really taking liberties with the historical accuracy of Julius Caesar, aren't they?

Yes. Julius Caesar, son of Aphrodite.

I have a very hard time turning off my brain for Xena, especially when one episode features the Trojan War and the next features Caesar.

Well, I was just watching for Ares anyway (weep, weep, Kevin Smith is gone).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Julius Caesar, son of Aphrodite.

Say again? Have these people seen busts of ole Julius? A funnier-looking guy I can't think of in antiquity, except maybe Nero. I mean, Narcissus son of Aphrodite, I could buy with appropriate hand-waving, or Julius Caesar bizarro love-child of Jupiter and Mars.

Also, wings? Since when do Roman emperors get wings??

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

It's a joke, Nutty. Karl Urban played both ol' Jules and Cupid.

But see, as Cupid he was blond, and as Caesar, a brunet. So you could tell them apart, I guess. Wings notwithstanding.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think Karl Urban is doomed to a career of very bad and/or strange hair.

His hair was fine in Bourne, wasn't it?
