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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

One Hour Breaks? That totally breaks up the flow. Half-hour, max.

But everyone should go.

It's not Christmas without a LoTR movie to go to in the afternoon. Crap, we had a whole tradition going.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Connie, take up the Boxing Day marathon tradition. It rocks. Great way to detox after Christmas and avoid the stores!

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

One Hour Breaks? That totally breaks up the flow. Half-hour, max.

I'm guess the line for the restroom will run around 45 minutes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, dammit, they need bigger bathrooms, then.

On our Trilogy day there were very minimal bathroom lines -- because it was in a googaplex and it was a Tuesday. You know?

Hopefully with no LoTR premieres we'll also break the "admit Hubby to the hospital in December" tradition.

Have people seen this edition of the book?

That's beautiful (first link) -- I want a hardbound edition with the two colored maps. The maps are so cool in the hardbound editions.

I still want to get the Alan Lee illustrated edition, with the blue dustjacket. I've drooled over my godfather's first editions enough to appreciate the idea of having multiple editions in stock, especially one with such nice extras like pictures and hardcover.
