Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
But what is Kransha implying about Gimli's attraction to Galadriel?

Anyway, I'm still waiting for a mud wrestling contest in the extended dvd
between Eowyn and XenaArwen (of the FOTR movie) over Aragorn.
Loser gets Faramir as a nice consolation prize.

Since Tolkien's major was Norse Mythology, probaly the norse, when they met for councils only Men attended, and seeing how at the Council of Elrond, it was all Men, less i'm mistaken, but Elrond probaly wanted a warrior to go on the quest as well... its mainly just the resources that are availible, elrond probaly had no knowledge or Eyown, rather protective of Arwen... so theres a lovely piece of my brain, enjoy!

Dontcha just hate it when you post something mildly humerous and someone follows it up with a comedy tour-de-force?!

Curse you and your formidable wit, Kransha!

My, my, I certainly did not expect such an ovation. This sudden well of praise is, I assure you, totally undeserved on my part. I suppose I've just been holding back semi-psychotic theories for far to long (does anyone remember when I theorized that Orcs had been made by Melkor to sew his garments, citing "Nonexistent Tolkien Letter #678" as evidence?). Well, it does my *old* heart good to see that my whacked postulate has drawn such illicit laughter. I believe that, with the support of my fellow B-Ders, I'll be able to muster enough evidence to prove my theory and send correspondence to the Tolkien Estate insisting the release the witheld information about Gimli's Secret Femininity.

Now, a personal matter.

*suddenly begins to salivate madly*

You must forgive me, but I'm a little taken aback. I've been, from time immemorial, eyeing that most side-splitting, gut-wrenching, and spleen-tearing of threads. I had never even entertained the possibility that a member of it would actually inquire after me about it. I figured that I'd be the one begging and fawning upon your regal personage, (thankfully, I've been able to show a feeble modicum of restraint, thanks to real-world distractions). I'm not saying you're begging or fawning, though it would be nice if you were *swells with pride, but newfound bulk is unable to conceal the small saliva lake that has formed*.

P.S. When you say 'contact me' do you mean by PM or email...My email address has been acting peculiar lately *continues to salivate*.

P.P.S. If y'all liked this little exercise, you'll probably love my theory about Tom Bombadil and the Merry Dol of Doom.
