Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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".

There's a good report on the Richard Taylor/Tania Rodgers talk in Australia on the front page of TORN (both the report and a streaming video are linked from there).

I didn't know that Taylor is rather deaf, apparently from his work. This might explain the volume of his voice. He does laugh when telling about dealing with Viggo and his softspoken ways (apparently, Viggo had no problem giving Taylor a hard time).

Is it okay if I just sit here and smile serenely, basking in the glow of other fans?

Mmmm. Tolkien. I'll try not to dribble on and on and on. I'll just sit quietly, smiling.

You're completely correct. And it's been a "keep Alex alive during BORING BORING WORK" stuff to read the thread so far. Eee!

StuntHusband (mind if I call you SH for short?), you should definitely check out the closed Two Towers thread if you haven't already. Lots of good stuff in there, too!!
