Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Host ,'Why We Fight'


LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, it is, I think. I should unwhite that second part.

Oh, and somebody on lotr_boys posted that Legolas arrow picture . . . I was going to ask you to do it, but now I don't have to!

One of my neighbors has a license plate that says FLYUFLZ.

I can't figure out how to reduce "They have a cave troll" to license-plate-ese.

Use a bumper sticker for that one, and for your license plate, have "IMNOMAN".

Or "RNGISMNE".

Better yet, "USHLNTPS".

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

Oh, I must have this. First, I'll need to get a car.

I'm bummed--Illinois' vanity plates only allow up to seven letters. Damn. I might have to go for that FLYUFLZ next year.

So does VA. But IMNOMAN works. Of course, it'll be amusing when my husband's driving the car.
