Wow, that's worse than Fantasy Island, where Roarke takes on Satan, and wins!
Did you see the reboot, with Malcolm McDowell? Where is IS the Devil? First thing he does is burn the white suits, and get new black ones.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whoa. It just occurred to me that if philology can be considered science, LoTR can be considered science fiction. Mind=blown.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The legendarium was never complete; up until he got too senile to actually work (about 3 years before his death), he was revising and revising and revising. In fact, he was forced by Houghton Mifflin to stop revising LotR so it could be published; he was in the middle of a story-pass having to do with Galadriel's past - and if you know what to look for, you can pick out the discrepancies. (What the Fellowship is told about Lorien while they're in Rivendell is slightly different than what they're told *in* Lorien.)
I can't imagine trying to go through his handwritten notebooks, with large sections erased and re-used for different parts of the story. *shudder* He was an editor's nightmare, I suspect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Nope, I missed that.

And this explains Christopher's (well-known, legendarily WACKY) madness.
(Royd Tolkien was an un-named, nonspeaking Ranger in "Return of the King", and for his trouble Christopher disinhereted him, because Christopher detests the movies so much. He's WACKY. Hates the English so much he moved to Paris. Hates ENGLISH so much he primarily communicates in French - but is best known for being the executor of the estate and works of one of the most significant *English* fantasists. Waaa-aaa-ACKY.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You have Star Trek 5? That's hardcore completist there.
We also have 5. We have all of them (original series) in the extra special, extended versions.

Oh yeah. If you read Christopher's work, you get a very clear sense of this.

In my own defense, it was a GIFT, not a CHOICE. I don't really understand the madness of my *keeping* it, though.
Inertia? Fear of it's horribleness sticking to my fingers when I hurl it in the bin?

We don't, but I suspect that one day we will.
Joe loves ST:TOS almost as much as me and Emeline. Some days' it's a real toss up.
I also believe that between Joe and his dad they also own all of the Shatner and Nimoy albums.
