Naked elves?! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Aaaahhhh!!! Must...erase...odd mental picture...! *grabs LotR* Hah, try this! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

"'...Cast off these cold rags! Run naked on the grass, while Tom goes a-hunting!'...
...The hobbits ran about for a while on the grass, as he told them..." ~"Fog On the Barrow-Downs", FotR

All right, I sincerely apologize for that. Here's a better quote from the same chapter:

"'What in the name of wonder?' began Merry, feeling the golden circlet that had slipped over one eye. Then he stopped, and a shadow came over his face, and he closed his eyes. 'Of course, I remember!' he said. 'The men of Carn Dum came on us at night, and we were worsted. Ah! the spear in my heart!' He clutched at his breast. 'No! No!' he said, opening his eyes. 'What am I saying? I have been dreaming...'" ~"Fog On the Barrow-Downs", FotR

I should have liked to see that in the film. Of course, that would have meant putting old Tom Bombadil back in and, well, we just can't have that! (Poor Merry, poor Tom.)
