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.

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

Even if I can't watch it, I get a Nillyesque pleasure from just holding it.

There may or may not be crooning and stroking.

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

Mine isn't to arrive until the 23rd.

Yikes! That must be wrong, if you ordered early. Maybe you should email or call just to make sure.

I'd never have the patience to have it mailed to me. Too many possibilities for complication.

I've generally been pleased with Amazon's promptness, and it's cheaper through them than if I buy it around here. But I might end up doing what my friend always does, which is to preorder through Amazon, buy it at Target on the day it comes out, and then return the one from Amazon at Target when it comes.

Well, I'm not going to get upset unless it doesn't switch to "shipping soon" until nearer the 14th, you know?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We're talking about a bigger, rectangular screen tv as our present to each other this year. Not, you know, a plasma or anything, or even HD. Just--big. Rectangular. For the movies.

See. Even if his LotREE viewing philosophy is clearly WRONG -- your DH certainly has some things right.
