............ *** POP *** >>>> It's done!


After Gandalf discovers the Book of Mazarbul in Balin's Chamber and gives it to Gimli, it is carried out of Moria. At Parth Galen, Gimli falsely (somewhat) believes that the Fellowship will be destroyed and decides that the best chance for survival of some part of the already mostly destroyed book is to divide the remaining legible pages amongst the company. So few were the pieces that each member received less than 5 pages.

When Frodo decided to sit down and write out his adventures in the Red Book of Westmarch, he remembered something that Gimli had given him. He went to his chest and retrieved the pages. Sadly only one page survived the arduous journey that it had been through. Frodo translated and copied the text word for word into the Red Book. After doing so he finally realized what the words meant. As such, he followed the print word for word and afterwards was extremely satisfied!

And that's where the recipe for Matzo-Ball soup came from.

Granted! And the end result? Well for one thing Denethor's death stays exactly the same. There's a wedding scene using the same priest from Spaceballs. Gandalf is replaced by a Jewish Rabbi. And there's a big musical number with Gandalf and the Balrog having a tap dancing contest.

I wish the Ents had come to help defend Minas Tirith.

Granted. However, they defend it by throwing bits of it at the Orcs until its no longer worth defending.

I wish the Barrow Wights had decided to help the Hobbits after Tom came.

Alright, we mix in some Shelob legs, add just a bit of hobbit feet hair and mix it all on molten lava from Mt. Doom and voila!! your wish is granted.

But there was one small inconvenience. The Barrow Wights were really mad at the army of the dead that Argorn uses to drive away the enemies during the siege of Minas Tirith and when Argorn goes to make the army of the dead fight for him they say "not with those whights we are not!" and vanish into a thick mist. The fellowship gets lost in the mist until they starve to death (all but the Barrow Wights who starve back to life) and become part of the armies of the dead.

I wish Gandalf could change into a big eye made of water rather than fire

Granted. However, he soon evaporates and everyone laughs at him. In shame, Gandalf returns to Valinor and hides in a little cottage in the country.

I wish Gandalf kept a large supply of food inside his hat.

Granted! And how wonderful it is! Instead of the Fellowship carrying packs of food, they stick it all in Gandalf's hat. For a while this goes great for them. Though a few arguments break out when Gandalf is sleeping about who should retrieve the hat or arguments about who gets to guard the hat while Gandalf is sleeping, for the most part the food storing hat works well. Until of course Gandalf and his hat fall in Moria. With no food, the Fellowship starves to death before reaching Lothlorien. All except Gimli that is. After the first Hobbit died he ate him without telling the others. When Aragorn asked what happened to the Hobbit Gimli just said "He fell down a well."

I wish Saruman was a giant panda.
