King Elessar died his son, whose name escapes me That would be Eldarion...
To: Corin Stormhands
You know, you could've gone all day without saying that. I know...HEE HEE HEE!...
Don't worry...I'll be goin' through the same worries myself here sooner than I'd like...I just like to share the pain...
Hey, if he's a good boy, respects you, and loves the Lord, he'll do fine... I had none of that goin' for me...
To: g'nad
Hollow leg... that is an interesting phrase!
Oh for the return of my youth! - In college, of course, there is drinking without consequence... Quarter-beer night at the hangout on Wednesday, crash sometime after closing time, and no trouble at all getting up for my 8:00 class.
And now, a night like that would lay me out flat for a whole day, maybe two.
To: g'nad
That would be Eldarion...Thanks g'nad!
Is it too early for a sneak?

Didn't you know that Eldarion issued a decree that there be no sneaking without an official sneaking license? It's for the children
To: g'nad
Hey, if he's a good boy, respects you, and loves the Lord, he'll do fine... We're pretty confident about that actually. It's been an incredible year for our youth group. But that's another story.

Oh for the return of my youth! - In college, of course, there is drinking without consequence... I didn't drink in college. Honest, went to a conservative, Christian school in a dry county. Actually came to terms with alcohol not being a hinderance to my faith, as well as coming to terms with my father's alcoholism and learning my own limitations. (My compulsion is sugar, not alcohol - who needs Jack Daniels when there's Mint Chocolate Chip in the freezer).
All that is to say though, that in my younger (post college days) things were a little different. I was working a campaign in 1985, we'd hit the bar after work at 6:00 and I would drive home after 8-12 beers and be back in by 8:00 a.m. the next a.m. all fresh and happy. God protected me from my stupidity.
Now, a beer and a half will put me to sleep...(I am soooo old)

God and youth lets you get away with a lot of stuff... for a time... Then he begins slowing adding pain to overindulgence.
I guess it is a good system... Old folks look silly partying all the time.
To: Overtaxed
Ya know, I wish that Elessar had let us know what exactly "compassionate conservatism" meant before he went and kicked the bucket.
It might be time to think about setting up a constitutional monarchy so Eldarion can't do anymore real damage. We can let him christen new ships and hold state dinners or something.

I propose that now that we are in five digits, we shall no longer care about a mere "00" landmark...

I propose that now that we are in five digits, we shall no longer care about a mere "00" landmark... Yeah, sure, o.k....sneakin'...

I got the 16,000th post over at TNS thread. Does that count for anything over here?
BTW, where's 2JM been? Did she put in for a vacation and somebody forget to cc: me on the memo?

We take care of our own hobbit-children. Do you think Eldarion has the guts to come up here and put down a hobbit uprising?

From OneRing.net:
"Blockbuster's LOTR Promotion
6/21/02, 8:46 am EST - Xoanon
Quinn writes: Thought you might like to know that later this month Blockbuster will be offering their LOTR promotion. You buy for $24.95 a 10 week free rental card (one free rental a week for 10 weeks) and you get a free copy of LOTR on DVD or Video when it's released. If you don't rent movies it's not really a deal but if you do it's a nice savings."
I think I may have to take Blockbuster up on their deal.

" who needs Jack Daniels when there's Mint Chocolate Chip in the freezer). "
I think the Mint Chocolate Chip aggravates hangovers exponentially. (sugar does IMHO). Yeah, I miss the good old days, too.
g'nad was talking greasy food, if you eat greasy food as opposed to low fat, you'll feel better in the AM. 'Course when you're older, some things get harder, a few get easier.
To: HairOfTheDog; ksen; g'nad
we shall no longer care about a mere "00" landmark... Well okay, wink, wink, works for me...
Actually, not a bad idea, although I won't purposefully pass one up...
To: ksen
Does that count for anything over here? Nope. And I've sworn off that forum.
2JM is with family in Wisconsin (I think). I believe she said a week, but I could be wrong.
