Ok, to add yet more silliness; what if the good guys had access to cool not-yet-real tech, like power suits? Hobbits in power suits...

Ooh...that's gotta hurt. No wonder his eye burns.

If Elendil hadn't used that pepper spray on him at the end of the Second Age, things would have turned out a lot better for everyone concerned...

Hmm. Aren't they too short to be truly effective ninjas? But they do have good stealth.

Obviously there weren't any liberals in Middle Earth...of there would have been protesters claiming he was just misunderstood, poor dear...

Well, some meatballs and some pot pies and some stuffed bell peppers and a whole bag of beef, pork and chicken that were just in those leaky containers that you get at the meat counter, you know? A whole trashbag of that kind of stuff. All of it was stuff my parents didn't want to haul down to Texas with them, and it came with the freezer.

Since the veggies were down at the bottom where the big chunk of ice was (and the gallon of ice the g'nads gave us), they were saved...were still frozen. Then there was some loaves of bread in the door...they're ok, of course and have already been refrozen.

Now I'm putting the veggies up at the top of the freezer and the meat down at the bottom, so in case this happens again, hopefully I'll catch it before the meat thaws.

Oh. Then it's no big loss, then.

Sure there were! Remember the Scouring of the Shire? Merry and Pippin had to eradicate Socialism and reinstate the natural order in Hobbiton and elsewhere.

Those ruffians with their whips and clubs? They were the liberals.

Right. The only big loss would have been that Schwann stuff...we'd splurged and bought that stuff just the weekend before we left for Shootmoot...hadn't eaten any of it yet.

I'll let you know in about 12 hours is they're any good.

Thanks for the entertainment! :)

I think they all went to launch an assault on Mordor.

I so wish that Jackson had filmed the Scouring of the Shire.

A lumpy-looking guy with a club steps out into the road to scare off four hobbits...and here's Merry ( fresh from having offed the Lord of the Nazgul), Pippin (who was last seen with his feet poking out from under the body of the troll he'd killed), Sam (who was the only being in living memory to have put a blade into Shelob), and Frodo himself (who had borne the malice of the One Ring for weeks of hopeless journeying).

They would have looked at this subhuman loser with the cudgel as if to say "Yeah...right!"
