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".

Bwah!
No Farmer Maggot Stuffed Mushrooms?
	
 
		
		
I'll suggest that, but maybe the maggot stuffing is a bit off-putting, no matter how much one is hobbity about mushrooms.
	
 
		
		
Hmm, maybe something like Frodo's Stolen Stuffed Mushrooms would be better.

That sounds like the BEST IDEA EVER.  I am totally doing this.
	
 
		
		
Kate, it's also a good idea for Boxing Day (12/26), which is what we do in my family.
It's not weird that "May It Be" is on my Christmas CD because of that, right?

porn.
So basically sometime between St. Nicholas' day and Epiphany, we need a St. Tolkein's Day, huh?  Debetesse has called St. Stephen's, which sounds good to me.
	
 
		
		
Hmm, the EE has been leaked to the internet.
I should say that the link is to an article about the leak -- not to a place to download the movie!
	
 
		
		
 The retail is expected to hit some stores on the 10th and will be fully released around the world on the 14th.
What!?  *shakes computer for definition of "some stores"*
