Everything I need to know I learned from LOTR

[Morai]

Deforestation can be hazardous to your health and to your plans of world domination.

Ouch...that sounds like something a treehugger would say around where I live. *Shudder*

Hmmm... That explains Aragorns hydrophobia...

Probably doesn't want to loose his pretty silver /emerald ring. (Kinda reminds me of a "class ring"

*Don't follow fashion trends, especially when they're started by a powerful sorcerer who has been associated with Morgroth.

*If you're disguised in ork armor and you are a hobbit, no one will notice. Well...except maybe the Eye....

*But of course he's being distracted by another army...right until someone puts on the Ring

[Maeggaladiel]

If you're disguised in ork armor and you are a hobbit, no one will notice. Well...except maybe the Eye....

BUT-- Being only a single eye, he has no depth perception. Therefore even if he DOES see you in your deceptive armor, he can't tell if you're ten MILES away or ten FEET away.

Tree huggers, Morai? Do you live in Oregon? Because they have similar problems there. *slaps forehead-* Oh, duh. "Halfway between equator and pole..." I don't think Oregon has that strategic placement. Nevermind!

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

Lol, true true.

If a friend starts being protective over a ring, kill him...right away, don't wait two thousand years to do it...

[Morai]

Tree huggers, Morai? Do you live in Oregon? Because they have similar problems there. *slaps forehead-* Oh, duh. "Halfway between equator and pole..." I don't think Oregon has that strategic placement. Nevermind!

Okay fine, I do live in Oregon. (Where Treehuggers lie. And I like to call the former govenor the Dark Lord) A hotel in the town I live in is on the North 45th parallel. (And yes, I refuse to reveal what it is. If you are smart, you'll figure it out and keep silent.) So therefore I aproximately live half-way between the North Pole and the Equator.

Anyway, back to the thread.

*If you are old and wear long robes, people to honor and respect you. It's a new/old fashion statement saying "I am wise...RESPECT ME OR ELSE!"

BUT-- Being only a single eye, he has no depth perception. Therefore even if he DOES see you in your deceptive armor, he can't tell if you're ten MILES away or ten FEET away.

UNLESS--he doesn't have his contact lens in; then he can't see anything farther than ten INCHES away, so it wouldn't really matter what you're wearing anyway.

(That's from personal experience. If I don't have my glasses on I can't see anything clearly if it's more than four inches away from my face. So sad...)

~Elves are made of Teflon. Therefore, they never get dirty. In Elrond's case, the only reason he was dirty AT ALL at the Last Alliance is because he's a half-elf; half-elves do not inherit the Teflon coating of full-elves.

~Large, blue, Anime-style blue eyes, as possessed by a certain Ringbearer, never EVER get bloodshot. Ever. Not even when said Ringbearer has been trekking across Mordor for weeks on end.

Abedithon le,

Ah, so you are nearsighted too, Saphire_Flame? You are among good company!

~Royal familes are too often disfunctional.

~Blondes come from Rohan, brunettes come from Gondor.

~When faced by a large army, try lobbing chunks of your city at them. All they can do is sidestep, right?

~Trolls make excellent drummers. Why use the massive, strong, nearly-indestructable trolls for combat when they have such musical talent?

~Never forget about that little sidedoor right next to the place where the Uruks are bashing in the gate. They'll never notice it, so you might as well use it.

~A single dirty human and a dwarf can take up to fifteen fully-armed Uruk-hai on a narrow bridge, no problems.

~Real men ride horses.

~Real women slay witch kings.

~Don't worry about Gollum. You didn't need that finger, anyway.

[Sapphire_Flame]

Heehee. Mayhap I'll have to join your society, Maeg!

When faced by a large army, try lobbing chunks of your city at them.

Ah, very good advice. Just be sure not to lob any significant structural supports at them.

This isn't a lesson, but it is something LotR has done for me: in my film studies class at school, we have to write several papers about movies, usually with some sort of focus (cinematography, acting, etc.). For nearly every paper, I used LotR; and got A's on all those papers. Thank you, LotR!!

Abedithon le,
