I quite agree. Very much easier with Party City.

Although, think of it. If the book happened in this world setting, would there be a book? They'd have so many conveinences(sp?) that the whole reason for the books making would be nothing. Modern technology could probably just take care of the ring where Frodo lived. That would be wierd.

Of course The Council of Elrond would have been held as a webchat..........

And Gandalf could have checked out the ring on Google without all that tiresome rummaging in the archives of Minas Tirith.......

I wonder how much bleach Saruman had to use to keep his cloak looking clean?

I can just see the modern day equivilant of the Destruction of the Ring: no doubt Frodo would have to toss it into a nuclear reactor somewhere. The resultant explosion would destroy Sauron, his minions, his lands... Mordor The Parking Lot.

Very funny. All of you, very funny. Although, the Nuclear Plant of Sauron would be a good start to taking over the world.... *gets lost in own thoughts*

you know that scene in Moria where they're surrounded by orcs before the balrog comes out? I'm always waiting for one of the orcs to say

"What's in your wallet?"

That reminds me...
Sam could have saved time and food if he used light weight, easy to store Ziplock bags and Gladwear bowls!!!!! He didn't even think about foam plates, cups, and bowls. He could have saved time and it wouldn't have been so heavy.
