Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I suggested it more for the idea of Viggo having all those soft focus romantic scenes with Andy Serkis' CGI doppelganger.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've never seen wronger than Gingrich/Clinton - this isn't even close.

It might beat Riley/Parker, however.

Still more Unused Audio Commentary by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, Recorded for the Return of the King.

CHOMSKY: Mordor, the "dark land." Which you correctly pointed out before we began should be properly known as Orcistan.

More:

ZINN: Oh, I believe completely that Gandalf was cannily exploiting Sam's latent hobbosexuality from the very beginning. If nothing else, Gandalf is a sophisticated psychologist with a keen understanding of the plight of the closeted Hobbit in the intolerant, provincial Shire. Why else did he select Bilbo as the burglar for Thorin's party in The Hobbit? Perhaps because he knew the company of 13 male Dwarves might be appealing?

CHOMSKY: You mean Bilbo's hobbosexual, too?

ZINN: Well, you know what they call an eleventy-one-year-old bachelor in Buckland, right?

CHOMSKY: Ohhhh.

In case anyone else is watching, Turbine took over 100% of the development of Middle-earth Online, the MMO. I don't think an MMO should be done at all, but Turbine's probably the best people around to do it.

Lord knows Vivendi Universal did NOTHING for over a year. Launch this year? Beta hasn't even started signing up yet.

much fear

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

You know, people complaining about the unwieldiness of the acronym MMORPG is the only reason I remember it. Is MMO a little different, or is it just an abbreviation of an acronym?
