Morning....of course they couldn't leave the triple-naught Precious in the road....
To: Overtaxed
Well it did get left at the bottom of a river once, does that count?

I would tend to disagree... if I remember correctly, the Ring was treacherous and slipped off Isildur's finger as he tried to escape the ambush by swimming the river...with the intent of making it's way back to it's master... Don't have the text available at work...someone want to verify this please?...
To: g'nad
I suppose I should have said "accidental" on Isildur's part. Coffee hasn't quite kicked in yet...maybe I need a second cup! Tricksy ring!
To: g'nad; Overtaxed
...if I remember correctly, the Ring was treacherous and slipped off Isildur's finger....Are you saying that the Ring is ALIVE!?!?!? Come now my good dwarf we are beings of reason and science! *scoff* *scoff*

Somehow I don't think Tolkien's quasi British countryside tale would sound too good coming from this native Mississippian! Hey if Vivien Leigh can be Scarlet O'Hara...
To: Overtaxed
Shall we claim the SemiPrecioussss? I have got to start getting up earlier...but since Corin, Jr. isn't in school right now and doesn't have to catch the bus at 7:00 a.m. I've been taking advantage of about 30 minutes extra sleep...
To: All
Morning All!
To: Corin Stormhands
Good Morning All! from the the Grey Havens on the Western shore!

Are all the late-night hobbits sleeping in or are they eating second breakfast?
To: Overtaxed
We all went to be pretty early! - Hobbits must just be preoccupied... I am having first breakfast now. And you?
To: HairOfTheDog
[Grumble grumble grumble] Just dealing with the idjit aftermath here at work, but I could use a second breakfast....or elevenses (ten-and-a-halfses?)

Are you saying that the Ring is ALIVE!?!?!? Gandalph told Frodo the Ring had a will of it's own, and will seek to return to its master...I'm not sure if it was alive per se, but Sauron put a portion of his spirit/being/essence into the ring...that's why he wouldn't truly die until until the Ring was destroyed...
Again, I don't have access to the text here at work, so if somebody could correct me if I'm wrong...
To: g'nad
I know it is "alive" in a sense. I was just fooling around up there.

I guess it's a viewpoint thing. To Isildur it would be an accident, to the ring it was an action, to Gandalf it was a plan.
