People used to say Jesus was pretty cool until a local loiterer inadvertently called him a 'genius' and become responsible for what we now call Jesus' 'preachy period'.FrodoSaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224011199139875343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699230795490231936.post-62415199688352674932009-01-09T20:35:00.000+08:002009-01-09T20:35:00.000+08:00Oh I love it.All of it.You're a freakin' genius ma...Oh I love it.<BR/><BR/>All of it.<BR/><BR/>You're a freakin' genius mate :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699230795490231936.post-53518671812236593952009-01-09T16:07:00.000+08:002009-01-09T16:07:00.000+08:00Frodo,Contrary to common opinion, my Father has a ...Frodo,<BR/>Contrary to common opinion, my Father has a keen sense of humor, (he made you didn't He?)<BR/>even when He is the subject of the joke, but I like your stuff because it is not mean spirited or vicious.<BR/>You don't work blue (too much anyway) and even though your understanding of Christianity is flawed, at least it is thoughtful.<BR/><BR/>I am sincerely praying for you Frodoslave.<BR/><BR/>Shalom,<BR/>Dani' ElDani' Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371944082656315654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699230795490231936.post-38917028879959308462009-01-09T15:52:00.001+08:002009-01-09T15:52:00.001+08:00PS - thanks for the compliments guysPS - thanks for the compliments guysFrodoSaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224011199139875343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699230795490231936.post-73184886889312984752009-01-09T15:52:00.000+08:002009-01-09T15:52:00.000+08:00I thought wrongly that you were using the LOTR mor...<I>I thought wrongly that you were using the LOTR more as a device for your blasmockery, and that you maybe were not such a geek.</I><BR/><BR/>Well it comes and goes.<BR/><BR/>I'm not much of a geek, I just happen to have a pretty embarrassing memory for all those names and details.

Well. Good to know.<BR/><BR/>I watched this documentary a little while ago called "Ringers: Lord of the Fans" about the extent of LOTR's fandom. It wasn't very good, but you'd think their insatiable appetites for all things tangentially related - from board games to plastic hobbit swords - would lead them here. Although I did get found a couple of months back by an Elijah Wood fan club. Apparently he's got lots of them.

Along with the Barrow Wights, the Radagast the Brown, and the real Caradhras . . . at least in the movies.<BR/><BR/><B>Women are perfectly capable of accomplishing things when they are given help by others, just as Eowyn was helped to kill the Witch King by the hobbit Merry.</B><BR/><BR/>I agree. 1 Woman + 1 Hobbit = 1/2 of 1 Man. Possibly even 2/3 if the man is very weak and timid.<BR/><BR/><B><I>4. The demon that drags Gandalf from the bridge of Kazad-Dum and battles him to the summit of a mountain is made from fire and shadow. I didn't know fire and shadow could do that.</I><BR/><BR/>That's not really a question.</B><BR/><BR/>I choked on a mouthful of water, which then went in my lungs. Thanks a lot.<BR/><BR/><B>Ents are a type of tree, and it is widely considered miraculous by Frodologists that they "did" anything at all.</B><BR/><BR/>Exactly. People are such ingrates . . . we get a tree to walk and talk, next thing--we want it to dance. It just doesn't end.<BR/><BR/><B><I>7. I find myself attracted to the character of Grima Wormtongue. Is there something wrong with me? What if he looks like my middle school PE teacher?</I><BR/><BR/>There is nothing wrong with you. Grima was a handsome individual, widely loved for his greasy black hair, pale, watery eyes, and ghostly complexion. Frodo teaches us to follow love where we find it. If that happens to be your PE teacher, then who is to stop you, other than the law and your teacher's contract of employment?</B><BR/><BR/>My favorite question. As I'm sure you knew it would be :D<BR/><BR/><B>Ensure your drive is set to 'slave' mode. Frodo teaches that great deeds are possible through enslavement.</B><BR/><BR/>Please, elaborate :)<BR/><BR/><B><I>10. Don't you think Glorfindel is a pretty gay name?</I><BR/><BR/>I do.</B><BR/><BR/>It could be worse. It could be "Zinfandel". A gay name, <I>and</I> a gay wine.<BR/><BR/><B>We now think that 'sang' is a metaphor for 'allowed to occur through natural processes'.</B><BR/><BR/>I dunno . . . sounds like evolution, to me. . . .<BR/><BR/><B>The sudden pain sent his adrenal gland into overdrive, which gave him a heart attack and caused his body to, uh, evaporate. These things happen.</B><BR/><BR/>Wait a minute . . . didn't I see that in an episode of "House"?<BR/><BR/><B><I>15. At least four people wear the Ring and go invisible: Isildur, Gollum, Bilbo, and Frodo. But when Sauron wears it, all it does is make him look like he's married. Was Sauron married?</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, I, um, was expecting a different question... Well, records suggest that despite his many minions, Sauron lived a fairly lonely life. The closest you could say is that Sauron was 'married' to the Ring. The analogy is apt, as Sauron was willing to enslave and torture while under his spouse's corrupting influence.</B><BR/><BR/>Ah, we all know Sauron was a, ahem, <I>confirmed bachelor</I> ::stage wink::<BR/><BR/><B><I>19. Why do the Black Gates open outwards? Wouldn't it be better if it was called the Black Cupboard?</I><BR/><BR/>Um... no.</B><BR/><BR/>Dude, people <I>like</I> cupboards. They usually have cookies, or Strawberry Newtons in them, or some other treat. You could punch my mother in the face, as long as you popped out of a cupboard before you did it. Preferably a cupboard that had Strawberry Newtons in it.<BR/><BR/>Taking over the world is really all about marketing, you know.<BR/><BR/><B>That and all of Mordor is stupid and evil. All of it. Every last conscious being. Would you share power with them?</B><BR/><BR/>It could be done. Case in point: The outgoing president and vice president of the USA. Neither of them are awesome people. One of them is markedly more evil--yet stealthy--than the other. And who does everyone blame all the bad shit on? The stupid one.<BR/><BR/>It pays to be the power behind the power. If Gondor was smart, it would've Dick Cheney'd Mordor. And by that, I mean shot it in the face during a hunting trip.Rachel E.
