The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

What's the anti-Nazgul device?

Speed and surprise. Presumably the Nozdrul can't keep up with a C-130.

If they can, I'd lead off with a squadron of Gondorian F-15s (Lt. Cmdr. Faramir commanding) to engage them with air-to-air missiles, and follow up with a pair of A-10s for ground support (featuring Lt. Col. Eomer and his wingman, Cpt. Dernhelm).

(It's a little-known fact, but Eowyn is a crack Warthog pilot.)

Nah, ditch all that fancy stuff. The eagles got there ok didn't they? Why the heck did they not just send the hobbits& ring in on them in the first place? What did Gandolf know and when did he know it?

But then wouldn't Sauron have an airforce since he made heavier investments in the war industry?

The trick is stealth. You need to engage the defenses so they're busy when you slip in your covert operatives.

The EYE! the huge freaking BURNING EYE!!!
Throw in some magic stones and a crazy wizard and I think Gondor is out matched.
