What if it wasn't The One Ring?

[Elrian]

There's something strangely compelling about Sauron with toe-rings. It conjures up an image of a Dark Lord wearing Roman sandals, which makes me wonder what the "fair form" was that he wore when dealing with the smiths of Eregion: Hippie-Sauron, with long hair, purple sunglasses and a goatee?

...And he came to them in fair form, arrayed as a lover of trees, saying "Hey, man, groovy rings. Can anyone make them? That would be cool."...

Somehow I think not.

Or if he had all 20 rings, and a fur coat he could be Liberace. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Seriously though if he was able to get his own back plus the other 19 or 15 (minus the ones consumed by dragon's) I think he would be more powerful than with just the one ring.
