I've exchanged words in a box with someone who's married to someone who was almost the Ballista Master
Awww, I'm part of a LotR Kevin Bacon game
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.
'Life of the Party'
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Today's geeky work moment: someone was asking how the stinger got through the armour. Someone else said "well, it was a +blah armour class, but Shelob had a +blah attack (insert # for blah)." To which I added, "And Frodo totally flubbed his roll.
At which point, one of the geeky coworkers said something along the lines of "Oh my G-d, I think you two have just hit geek bottom."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Geek bottom, Plei? I found myself nodding and thinking, "That does make sense, when you think about it. I mean, mithril, tough, but tough enough against a giant spider with all sort of pluses for a sneak attack from the rear?"
I need to play more D&D.

HA!
"DM: It's a special spider. Now roll the save."
Scotch out my nose.

Shit. Just rereading that got spit on my monitor.

It's like all those hours in the game store debating the D&D alignments of comic book superheroes.
I think we came up with Batman as neutral evil.

What, you think he's sane enough to play on the Good side? If they had a category Psychotic Good, I'd go for it.
edit: and to take this back on topic, our showing of RotK was sponsored by the game store Hubby used to manage. God, I miss those whacked-out geeks. I speak their language, and they speak mine. We got a preview of SpiderMan 2, and after it was over someone in the back yelled "Jason, are you happy now?" and Jason, resident Spidey freak and sitting in the very front row of the theatre yelled "Yes! God, yes!" It was like sitting in a very large living room with all my bestest buds.

I can't even.
There is the great watchtower of SomeGuyIForget
"This was the great watchtower of Amon Sul."
Sorry, Jess. I don't have a transcript handy, but I don't remember a reference to Weathertop in FotR.
