Gotten silly? It started there and has been diggin' in ever since!

I disagree. The original premise of the thread was not too far into the Realm of the Surreal. However, I agree that it has been diggin'.

The Paths of the Dead were frightening

I see you fell for the clever little "editorial" history that King Elessar's scholars did during the Fourth Age. "The Paths of the Dead" was actually a nearly abandoned theme park from back in the Dark Years. Sauron had several of these twisted facilities besmirching the landscape in order to fund his schemes of world domination. The scariest thing about the Paths of the Dead was that the soda and cotton candy were 25 gold pieces each and Gimli was hungry. (Which is pretty scary if you stop and think about it.)

During the Fourth and subsequent ages these theme parks were resurrected and continue to haunt us to this very day with their high prices and cheap theatrics.

The Paths of the Dead is currently open seven days a week from 9 AM to 11 PM Monday through Thursday, from 9 AM to 12 AM Friday and Saturday, and from 12 PM to 10 PM on Sundays. It features all the rides you can afford and all the food you can eat until your body is found floating in the river the next morning with a horrible emptiness of wallet.

You reach the Paths of the Dead by getting on the newly constructed Lossarnach (extort every penny possible) Turnpike until you reach the Lebennin Freeway. Go north on the Lebennin Freeway through the hundreds of miles of solid construction until you reach Ethring. From Ethring take the Erech Highway until you get to the Black Stone Memorial Highway. Follow the Black Stone until you get to the Starkhorn cutoff. Get out of your car, cut off your Starkhorn, turn around four times, and there you are at the lovely Paths of the Dead, where you will have the hap-hap-happiest time of your lives. (Until what little money you have left after the Lossarnach [extort every penny possible] Turnpike runs out.)

Now, pass the cotton candy and make way to the King of the Mountains Cliff Dive!

I want my advertising fees, gotta pay for this fun somehow!
