Oh yeah! Hey, hey, I forgot we have an ACTUALY "Gimli son of Gloin"! Wasaap! Woo! And I like your idea about Legolas being useless with an axe. Like in the movie in Moria when he tossed those huge axes to Boromir and Aragorn, I was thinking "no way Legolas can even LIFT those!" he's a flippin ARCHER!
Anywho...You guys are right, they should have a little axe icon. The first time I posted I wanted one, but have decided to just use the little Tolkien symbol (I love that!). Shows the devotion to LOTR and Tolkien in general and not just one thing/race. Although Dwarves and Hobbits and Men and Elves rock, yo.
Aosama, you're right, that quote is the best, or pretty close. Good ol' Dwarven sayings. Yes! I have that whole speech thing typed up in pretty letters pasted on my wall. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Woo!
See, I have this idea that Gimli isn't JUST "some barbaric warrior-dwarf". He doesn't focus all his time on that. He knows a lot of Dwarven lore, and he is a VERY good miner and builder. Of course he CAN fight, and of course he LOVES it and is really GOOD at it, but there are more warrior-like Dwarves out there. Although he was more chivilrous than many of the Thorin and Co. Dwarves in the Hobbit (I thought). Like King Dain, no matter how old the guy is.
Legolas and Gimli's relationship is SO cool! They are jsut so funny and cute! "Forty-two, Master Legolas!" For some reason when I first read that I laughed so hard! And it's jsut funny to see thier reactions to things...how different they are.
Like, does anyone recall when the Three Hunters reach Fangorn, Legolas is like, (paraphrasing) "Cool!" and Gimli replies, "Well, you're an Elf, and Elves are freaks, so of course you would like that." And then when they see the Glittering Caves, Gimli is all, "Whoa! Pretty!" and Legolas answers, "Well, you're a Dwarf, and Dwarves are freaks about that sort of thing." I thought that was so cool!! (note my bad paraphrasing skills) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Yeah. Frodo, glad you liked me nick-name. I lvoe Legolas, don't get me wrong, but I thought it was funny, and it definately clears out all the teenie-boppers.
The actual DWARVEN runes are hard, I don't get them, but my Tolkien buddy at school and I have memorized the Anglo-Saxon runes that Tolkein based them on, and we write each other notes in them so if they get taken away by a teacher, they can't read 'em! Ha!
Joy, you have a cool mom! Dude, wish my mom would talk to me about LOTR. She thinks I'm a freak. (which I am!) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] If gimlifans.com ever becomes reality, someone notify me! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Anyways, I'm off. Later!
