"Faragorn". A mix between Faramir, Fangorn, and Aragorn, perhaps? I can see it now... a great, kind, powerful, merciful, loving, slow-talking, patient... tree.

Who also happens to be the King of Gondor.

And Steward of Ithlien, with... three wives.

Well I had been watching FOTR with my friend and he had to go so when he came bak I asked him where we left off. And he said "Where Gollum died." I said "Gollum?" he goes "Yeah you know Gollum the guy with the grey cloak and hat, jeez it's you're favorite movie and you don't even know who one of the chief charactors is!" of course I corrected him now he refuses to listen to any LOTR rantings I have

However, if it doesn't apply to hearing weird ME-related things, please deal with it in PMs. Thanks

Sorry, I'll try to keep it Tolkien related from now on

You are all aware of Saruman's famed line "Do you know how orcs first came into being?"... well, that line has now become "Do you know how ox first came into being?" in the world of Fea's Hearing. I also thought for a moment I heard Gimli exclaim "Ack! Pork blood." when sampling a bit from a leaf in Fangorn. Amazing how accents can mar the word 'orc', is it not?

I'm fairly certain that's just another stereotype of the Dwarve's roots in the Jewish religion, why else would he be offended by pork blood?

I always thought movie Boro said at the Council of Elrond: 'Not with 10,000 men couldn't even do this...' and just thought the scriptwriters accidentally wrote in a double negative.

But after putting on CC I realised it was 'Not with 10,000 men could you even do this...'

But my favourite was Eowyn in TTT talking about the wildmen...now she says: 'the wildmen burn as they go, rick, cot, and tree.'

I thought she said 'Rick Cottontree' and came up with an imagination of who this 'Rick' guy was and of course set him on fire in my head.

My sister, for the longest time, thought that Frodo's name was Frito. I only realised this when one day I was talking about LotR and she looked at me and said, "You're weird. Your favorite book is about a frito saving the world." By the time she finished her sentence I was laughing to hard to correct her, which probably furthered her belief that I am mad. Even though she's the one who wanted to make a hat out of watermelon last night.

I thought so for the longest time too!

I always thought "Who's this Rick Cottontree Eowyn speaks of anyway?" I didn't recognise the name, and now I know why.

Actually, I didn't get what she was saying until I read the bit of the book where 'rick, cot, and tree' are in a different order.
