As a matter of fact, the guys in one of my classes recently had a very heated discussion on who was hotter, Liv or Cate, which subsequently ended in the guys splitting into Arwen/Galadriel factions. Sad but all too true.
thats a score for us girls!

The problem, Snick, is the number of points against us. Example: I saw with my own eyes, not a week past, a girl who's never read the books, nor will she ever, specifically forbid her mother from changing the desktop on their family computer. It was a picture of MovieLegolas in I'm-about-to-shoot-something mode. But then again, that point can be cancelled out by the group of boys I saw, not a week past, argue about whether Liv Tyler is hotter than Keira Knightly... Sad, isn't it?

I swoon with Tar-Míriel, but that's just probably due to the Sundering Seas churning all around us.

Never mind...

Well leave it to the Barrow-Downs to take a "Swoon" thread from someplace that is usually looked at as mindless to someplace where a person can actually learn something new

(that is one reason why I like all you guys so much

)

I am still very surprised that there are so many posts on this thread, and that it has not been closed. But this is very interesting because I had never before knew the true meaning of the word "swoon". I had always before thought of it meaning either fainting or falling deeply in love in a crush like way.

But we could always "swoon" over the book characters. That would most definitely fit in with the B-D's mindset.

Excellent discussion of the word 'swoon', you guys really make me think. However, I am more concerned with the use of the word 'drool'. If you were to drool every time Aragorn did something awesome (which is probably around 800 times in the book) then your lovingly created The Lord Of The Rings book would surely suffer considerable damage.

Now I am not at all materialistic, however, I do have a certain love and respect for my possessions, not least my copy of the Great Book, and I cannot see how it would be in anyone's best intentions to cover this book in lashings of saliva.

From at-sea warfare to saliva... how the mighty have fallen. No, I stand by "swoon". Banners! Banners! Who will find me an asbestos banner for Roggie?
