I don't think that anything around here really needs to be supported by heavy artillery.

*whistles innocently* ok, ok, you got me ;)
 
I spotted a really funny typo (freudian slip?) in the chapter by chapter discussion:
Quote:

(the hobbits) are engendered by the activities of ‘things that go free upon the earth.’
Hmm, so their gender is decided by the activities of those things...I'm not sure I want to take this any further. :D

From an RPG thread (background for a troll character):

Quote:

Zurt has spent most of his time praying on animals and anyone foolish enough to stray near Weathertop.
I really didn't think trolls were that religious, to tell you the truth.

Elennar Starfire 08-23-2004 09:09 PM

Don't think the animals appreciated that much either...

That was me... I am not embarrassed - I just have a useless keyboard and possibly a SLD :D ( but I will correct mainly because milk is murder).

but really Fantasy wirters today are a)not anywhere near as goo and b)often in a totally different category to Tolkien!
Let's face it, people. Modern fantasy can never be as gooey as Tolkien's was. :D

Found another one...

Elven widow(er)s remarring
Why would they want to mar it again after what happened the last time? Didn't marring the otherwise good relationship cause enough trouble already?

Apparently people in that part of the world don't break in. Either that, or they're so determined locks won't stop 'em.

However, we know whom to blame for inaccuracy! It is some mysterious criminal of surpassing skill, apparently excelling in his dirty work of messing up with accuracy! Poor BW! To have the fora spoiled, or forumuled by some Excel!

Well, I suppose that Tolkien did say that LotR was consciously religious in its revision ...
