Ooo! She could have used coarse salt and herbs for Sam. "That there's the best salt in all the Shire."
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That domain is blocked by my work filter -- what is it?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It's the "Mortor" thing.

My computer still won't load it. Still sad.
Could somebody be a saint and recap it for me, so I'll have a better idea what I'm missing every time someone posts it again?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Boromir, at the Council of Elrond: "One does not simply walk into Mortor..."
Aragorn: "Mordor."
Boromir: "What?"
Aragorn, placating: "It's Mordor. With a D."
Boromir: t a moment of WTF? "One does not simply walk into Mordor..."
Frodo: "Um...yes, you do."
Boromir: "Shut up! No, you don't!"
Frodo: "Yes, you do. You totally do."
Boromir: Nuh-uh! You need...like...an army. With, like...Ninjas...and...um...Wizards! NINJA WIZARDS!"
Gandalf: "I'm a wizard!"
Boromir: "Yeah, but you're not a ninja."
Gandalf: t looks sad and ninja-less
Boromir, clearly warming to his subject: "Maybe some bears too...Bears that shoot laser beams out of their eyes... Oh, man, that would be so FRICKING AWESOME!"
Frodo, Gandalf, and Aragorn: t look WTF?-ish
Boromir: t looks sad and then freaky, due to judicious Photoshopping

(Dana, I keep admiring your tagline and not finding a space to ask you about it. Where's it from? For some reason, it makes me think of Sam Seaborn, but that could be my lastest fandom conversion showing.)
(For the record, Dana's tagline is: "She looks at me and she says, "I wish I was a lesbian." Now at that point, I wanted to say, "You mean you wish you *were* a lesbian," because gramatically...but I let it slide. I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.")

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Heh. Not Sam, although I can kind of see that too. It's from a song called "I Wish I Was a Lesbian" by Loudon Wainwright. You can listen to a sample here, where it's listed as "IWIWAL", although only the Amazon audio format seems to be working.

Thrive to spite them
Poor Boromir, always the buttmonkey.
