Dryson– welcome to the Downs– though this is perhaps not the best way to welcome you.

At the risk of sounding like a "me-too"– what you are asserting comes not from anything Tolkien wrote but from the film version of LotR and perhaps from some game or other.

Sorry, but what does that mean? It actually sounds like you're saying Orcs are "a group of real life people".

I just had a terrifying thought.

Orc blind dates.

What could be scarier?

Talk about nightmare fuel...

Orc honeymoons? Talk about 'bumping uglies!'

Orc birth? The witch-doctor slaps the mother.

Orc periods? Keep sharp objects away at that time of the month, or else unleash the amazons on Gondor.

Orc weddings?

"With this ring, I thee wed..."

"Ring? RING???"

"No, Honey! It's not THE...arrrgghhhhh......glug...

I'm surprised they could even GET to the honeymoon!

Orc weddings? Big deal.

You want ugly? How about orc divorces?

Orc divorces?

Hmmm...

I imagine they're quite uncomplicated, legally.
Everything's split right down the middle.

Probably with an axe.

Well, we know that Bolg is the son of Azog. Isn't that proof enough that orcs are born?
