Yes, thanks Child. That was the link I meant to provide.

One of the best explanations I have seen on this site of how pity seems to work with the fortuitiousness which runs through LotR.

Now, now Meneltarmacil. I specifically said, "no balrogs please."

Maybe I should retrieve some of Squatter's gems of humour. That'll set the standard for humour, especially since his most notorious thread has been lost.

I'm sorry. I didn't really know what you meant by "balrogs" there, but I thought it had something to do with the Endless Wing Debate.

On the Forth day of Waiting an elf-lord gave to me: four hobbits striving, three dormant elf-rings, two midnight viewings, and a king come to set the world free!

I found this little beauty while searching (fruitlessly, it seems) for something else entirely. It's from Mattius and is our of the RotK Support Group thread. I laughed... a lot.

I get most of that, but what are the midnight viewings?

I believe it's referring to a pair of tickets for the midnight showings at a local movie theatre. Which I rather wish I'd had... I didn't get to see RotK until February! Mind you... it wasn't my fault...
