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.

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...

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

Can you imagine how it would have seemed if Tolkien had kept the name he originally chose for Frodo - Bingo?!

Everyone time I'd hear that, I'd be imagining a retirement colony in Florida, hearing that winning number...
