Now I am most definitely jealous!

How much did you pay for it?

and if you ever find another could you please alert me

I would just like another chance to get it at a cheaper price

Well just to add... I did just look on Ebay and I found a few more, most being at about 10 dollars.

I just don't know, I have never bidded on Ebay so I am a little nervious about trying it out. I do know that if I did I would most likely get addicted

Morai: It really is cool looking...and quite large. I would guess about a size 12 or 13, which is too big for me to wear. I bought it JUST because it said 'Elijah Wood' on it.

Oh...then I'd probably wear it on a chain I have. (I bought it a Claire's. It was part of their stand on charm bracelets/ necklaces) The chain looks alot like the one Frodo uses in the movie, so my "one ring" hangs from it when I wear it. I wear a size 5 in rings...I think. (I have skinny fingers.)

Sounds like something someone would say at a EA meeting. (Elijah Aholics) But...I shouldn't be talking, I'm an obsessor of the blue-eyed guy myself.

This is sooooo much PROOF that Sam should stay away from ebay....

You got that one!

I am so happy for you

Samwise · 05-22-2004, 08:32 PM

I was even surprised to find a RING available, much less all that other stuff....and never mind the ring, those pictures are the best part of the package, in my opinion.

LOL....I wonder if they make one of those Bacchus costumes every year, or if they had to send out and have and extra teeny-tiny one made for him ?

I guess it's probably supposed to fit loosely, but the getup still looks big on the li'l fellow.....

Well he is of normal size, but no I don't think they make the costumes new every single year. They have been doing that parade for a very, very long time (I think since the 60's or so), and it already costs a lot of money to run, and I think that most of the time the celebrity guest (because they have one every year) doesn't even don the costume, and usually dons a suit instead. So Elijah being the kind of person who just jumps into things. Most likely they weren't prepared for him to want to wear a cosutme, so they just got him one that everyone wears (because there are a lot of people on those floats).

I do like the pictures though, it is just that I wish I would have been able to get down to New Orleans at that time, because it would have been awfully exciting

Not sure what you mean by that.

The thought came to my head, I suppose, 'cause the other night a neighbor and I were out to dinner and were discussing how very teeny tiny he is....

I wrote to the seller the other day 'cause I wanted to know what name to write my check to....haven't heard from him yet, hope to do so, soon.
