Mike has expressed my sentiments exactly so I won't. I sure hope sciurus gets to see this. He's a lover of Tolkein things.

I love candy. Is it just me, or do some of these gummy bears look swirly and creamy? Where do you think you get those?

Those are Uruk gummy bears, youngergirl44, and require the darkest of magics to create.

Would've been even more dramatic as a Peep war.

My best friend keeps a mental file of evidence she plans to use against me one day in "Dork Court." I'd like to share this awesomeness with her, but know it would just be another page in the file.

Sour Patch Kids elves?

THE ELVES WEREN'T FUCKING THERE! I don't give a shit what Peter Jackson put in his movies. He evidently doesn't understand the term "Last Alliance" of Elves and Men at the end of the Second Age. Tolkien meant last as in final, Jackson read it last as in last Tuesday.

Er... my nerd is showing.

Don't worry, King- that Elves-at-Helm's-Deep thing really pissed me off, too.

Wow. I am amazed, truly. I wonder how long they're going to keep it around?

The Tootsi Pop catapults made me laugh.

LOL. That is excellent.

Awesome!

There weren't any elves at Helms Deep? I really must read the book one of these days.
