It sounds to me like in the book he's got a case of sour grapes: "Who wants to ride a stupid horse, anyway?"
I think we're not going to have an actual thread...just mutually encourage one another - and nag. ;-)
Yes, even though I slept through TTT at Entmoot, I have seen it. ;-)
I got the impression from the movie that it was a dwarf thing that he didn't want to ride. Not just that he wasn't a good rider, or that he didn't want to ride such a great horse.
I don't remember him saying outright in the movie that he didn't ~like~ to ride. Remember a scene? Maybe we'll all have to watch again ;~D
Okay! nag away!! I need it.
anyone know of a cheap webhosting service?
In this context, however, I took "great" to mean "very large in size" rather than "noble".
Plus, it may be a Gimli thing, rather than a general dwarvish thing.
We'll probably start the serious nagging after the new year...
Me too...which is why I wondered if it could be that it was a big horse rather that a sturdy little dwarf pony.
But he was kinda in a bad mood anyway at that point, wasn't he?
I'm here! Steve took the jedis for a hike.
News helicopters have been flying over my house all day going back and forth to the explosion site. Two people who were missing are now confirmed dead. No other major injuries. A miracle, considering that the explosion was felt for 30 miles and knocked people off their couches within a three-block radius.
Lots of debris...windows blown out and such.
He's always kinda in a bad mood...
Eh? Expolison? Did I miss something?
Oh, wow... I totally missed that yesterday.
Happened last night around 8pm Central.
That's terrible. Did you guys feel it happen?
No, we didn't. If you go to this site, you can see the City of Tulsa in the NE part of the state...

I live in the dip of the river directly under the V in the slanted word RIVER. The same river continues on down into Muskogee.
Muss-KO-gee (gee as in Gus)
I had forgotten about the two dog angle; dogs don't really pay attention to separate food bowls!
Our younger cat, Annie, used to leave Louise's canned cat food alone. Annie was rescued by the vets up the street and was raised on dry food. However, since I have started adding a nutriental supplement to Louise's food, Annie keeps wanting to eat it, and there is hissing and growling galore when Annie approaches Louise's food bowl!
I think I accidentally helped hijack that other thread.
I didn't mean to! Honest!
Home. I'm thinking about doing something with curry in the crockpot tomorrow. Not standard curry, but using curry paste.
Of course, we're having Thai food for lunch, so maybe it'd be too much of a good thing?
Nah...
What dog food do you use for yours? I think my little dog has the same problem. It doesnt matter how often I bathe him, a day later he is still stinking up the place. I dont know if its because he chooses to roll around in things or what, but if its food allergies, Im willing to give it a try.
