Galin and WCH:

You know what's absolutely hilarious, I totally gapped regarding the chronology of the various books' publications, and was entirely caught up in the actual history of Middle-earth as it has evolved over time. I believe this is due in part from having imbibed far too much in the 1970's.

Ummm...were you going to eat that donut? Do you mind if I have it? You wouldn't happen to have any corn chips and bean dip, would you?
