Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

OK. So, do you have.... the animated series????

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.

The cat is saying to you, "It's like a tide; give in to it, boy. It's society's crime, not ours!"
I had to put the cat back downstairs into the shop. There was just NO working. And then he'd start flicking things off the desk. And he, being a scene shop cat, is covered in all kinds of dust. My hands were black from petting. But he's ssssOOOoooo cute!!!! Total lap cat. Wasted at the shop. Except for the fact is he an EXCELLENT hunter, and if he lived at home, there would be way too many "presents".

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

ST: The Animated Series is worth it just for the episode where Spock goes back in time to save Young!Spock.

Kind of like the new movie (using Jim as an instrument).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

See? Start me on Tolkien, and you'll all stick knives in your eyes to escape the deluge.

Dude, I haven't been a regular on rec.art.books.tolkien in ages, so I've kinda been missing the occasional JRRT geekfest/kerfuffle.

NO! TOTALLY NOT TRUE - I just got body-checked into the SW headspace away from Tolkien.

It's a good thing you are gay, because if I were your type, you would totally be my type. But then I would have to leave Daniel for you.

I sang in a Lord of the Rings Symphony concert. Two years in a row.

I'm not sure who I'm more envious of - you for singing, or your audience for getting to bask.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

My professional dealings with the Tolkien estate have led me to the same conclusion, though I would probably have said "A wacky ASSHAT."

Shall we agree that the language bits started to coalesce before the mythology part of his story?

I had understood that he made up the language and then came up with Middle Earth as a place for it to be spoken.

I once had a tiny grasp of written Elvish of the lower sort, but I was part of the early '70s Tolkien obsession and read LoftR a couple of times in my teens. I have the illegal Ace edition, which I bought new, although the books have now pretty much dissolved into individual flaking pages.

It's always good to hear the Leigh Brackett love.

I think I'm looking for the straight version of SH for myself.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The Lord of the Rings Symphony people told us that no matter where the tour went, there was always someone in the local chorus who knew how to pronounce the Elvish.

(squints) I'm...sorry you had to do that. The tangles around that legacy rival the IRS in complexity and nonsense.

One of (our - the Reasons' and mine) co-workers at WotC was Dr. John Ratcliff - who is a Tolkien scholar (one of the few people I'll *admit* is geekier on this subject than I am) and has written books about Tolkien, the legendarium, and the movies. His tales of wending through the Tolkien Estate are horrific. Ew.
