I appreciate the whitefont, since it means I don't have to unsub, and I can get a general idea of reactions.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

For any relative newbies to the LotR world--The Origins of Tolkien's Middle-Earth for Dummies!
As the author says in his introduction to the book, this is not an encyclopedia or quick guide to all the diverse beings, languages, and history that make up Tolkien's Middle-earth. Nor is it a set of plot outlines for the novels. Rather, what you'll find in The Origins of Tolkien's Middle-earth For Dummies is a basic guide to some of the possible linguistic and mythological origins of Middle-earth, plus a rudimentary analysis of its many themes and lessons for our world.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I watched my EE DVDs yesterday. People are saying he wasn't ominous enough, but I found the Mouth of Sauron to be pretty freaky.
It's funny, but among all the nitpicks about the differences between the books and the movies, the one that always sticks with me is a relatively petty one. It bugs me to no end that Glamdring (Gandalf's sword) doesn't glow blue in the presence of orcs in the movies, even though it's supposed to share that property with Sting.

I've been nursing a red-hot-coal of envy for all y'all's ROTKEE having but today, today was a grand day. $22.99 at Bestbuy. Just stumbled on it. No lines. No waiting.
Now all that's left is to find a cheap copy of TTTEE and I will have completed the last rung on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Right above Self-Actualization and Transcendence.
PJEE haveage.
No really. I looked it up.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
For all you others out there on dial-up internet access, WildDemon Cornelius's link is to a 9.6Mb Quicktime .mov file.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Anyone familiar w/ this?
The link is Leonard Nimoy's rendition of "Bilbo Baggins." It's been mentioned here a few times over the years.

Yeah...the Buffistas seem like the sort of group that would appreciate that. I'm now going to go watch Fellowship on TV (Canadian CBC)
