I don't know if we've had this...

But I find it very probable that Golum found the boot there, left by the Goblins that had once explored the lake before they decieded to stop the tunneling this way.
The boot? Hobbits (and Gollum) don't wear shoes!

Whoever wrote that post also spelled Gollum incorrectly!

Mr. Holmes need not apply
Perhaps a few comments about this thread are in order. If I'm wrong, I'm sure Estelyn Telcontar, the thread starter, can correct me.

The point of this thread is not to finger publically the typo-ist. We don't put Downers in the stocks for public humiliation. Nor is it a public confessional where the previously anonymous Downer must contritely do a 'Hail Tolkien' and win absolution for the sin of a spelling mistake.

It's a place to enjoy with others the unexpected humour of twisted letters, the comedy of cursory, quick keyboarding. Leave sleuthing alleged offenders for the Werewolf games and just enjoy double entendres here.

But to deny the anit-film bias among a large crowd here is simply a denial of reality.
So there's a fair bit of nit-picking going on?

Some weird trick with blood circulation, or angsty Gandalf trying to cut open his wrists?
