Sure it is Eli ;) But yeah there are some seriously well deserved (and otherwise) deaths in Middle Earth. I do not find death itself (even Broddas) awesome at all, just the way JRRT describes such... |

A College friend of mine was/is really into Hawkwind, so one time he plays this old (1982) album of theirs called 'Choose Your Masques' which was decent enough, I guess. Anyway, my friend then... |
