If Sauron had succeeded……..

[Diamond18]

Or maybe he drooled fire! That would be so cool.

Man, that sounds like an idea. I can see it now: Droolfire, the saliva of the Dark Lord Sourgum (aka the Black Masticator, or as he was know to the Elves, Chewy). His awe-inspiring power was only equaled by his utter stupidity, for he poured all his power into a single object, which promised to make him the "Lord of the Teething Rings". Too bad it was flammable.

The Eye of burrahobbit is on you. burrahobbit isn't a giant eyeball. It's a metaphor.

Hmm... not a very good one, though. Don't you mean the Finger of burrahobbit? It's not a giant sticky finger, it's a metaphor.

I'm sorry, what was the question again?

If Sauron did win, I can see him completely destroying Middle-earth by wantonly abusing all it's natural resources and driving its races to extinction. This wouldn't happen right away, or even very soon, but I just don't see any ecosystem being able to endure Sauron's proclivity for turning his territory into a burning wasteland. Of course, once all life is gone, there would be nothing left for him to rule, and he would be in effect, self destructing. But that is the stupidity of utter evil—it is ultimately self defeating.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go light my dinner on fire.
