Dunno, except that line "And still Meriadoc the hobbit stood, blinking..."
Sort of makes me think of Pippin more than Merry. Of course, that's because I'm picturing that adorably stupid look on Billy Boyd's face when the apple hits him in the forehead...

OK, you've caught me...

"Tirion on Tuna"... I can't help but think "tuna salad on rye."

It's true... Tuna cracks me up every time. Try as I might, I cannot take that name seriously.

But does this thread include movie lines? Because every time I watch The Two Towers and hear Eowyn speak, I see a flaming hobbit named Rick Cottentree running away from orcs.

And I now (thanks to the American Readers thread) picture Smeagol as holding an American tater tot up to the sun going "Eh, what's taters, precious?". I may have to Adobe something for the fun of it...

What Feanor said.

In FotR Gandalf says, "If you don't let me in, Frodo, I shall blow your door right down your hole and out through the hill!" I don't mean to be rude, but you know...

By the way, I love you avatar Beanamir.

[Merry: ][Saruman] has been much occupied.

...and lo! he did drive to the store and as he went he did cruise for the chicks, for the chicks do dig the mighty blue convertible of the Lord of Waters, yea, take it from me, verily it is so.

Note to Lhuna -- Yeah, I think I do need a little more sleep.

When I first read "Tirion on Tuna", I pictured the city as a cat mecca...

In The Last Debate, ROTK:

And now Legolas fell silent, while the others talked, and he looked out against the sun, and as he gazed he saw white sea-birds beating up the River.

Maybe the River needs to call for the cats from Tirion to help defend itself
