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.

Great. Jars broke Christmas.

You had me worried for a moment, Jars. But fret not. We can jones on waiting for The Hobbit, which I firmly PJ will make.

Jars broke Christmas.

I always wanted to be remembered.

Does anyone want to be horrifically spoiled, or would everyone rather watch with virgin eyes?

Assuming one can find a virgin whose eyes they could steal...

So no North Americans have a "shipping soon" yet?

(Not that I do, just curious.)

And I want Jars to taunt but not spoil please.

Huh. Just saw an ad for the EE Gift set -- I could swear that they said that the Minas Tirith box is a music box.

Did we know this before?

Could I have mis-heard?

Does anyone have it yet who could clarify?

Another social casualty...

Sumi, Amazon shipped mine yesterday (along with a bunch of other stuff) vis FedEx Ground and should arrive by Tuesday. I paid for shipping on mine, because the order with free shipping option wasn't scheduled to arrive until the 23rd. I needed the other stuff before then.

Cool.

I'm hoping that they will start to ship mine on tuesday -- if I get it on Saturday -- that would be excellent.
