Do you get the sense that g'nad and LCS are really looking forward to seeing all of Gandalf in the next movie?
Don't forget g'nad...trapped in Virginia...longing to see a real change of seasons...and more than 3" of snow...that shuts down the whole state for a week...
The Nazgul Republican? Certainly not!
That's just because you dang furiners can't drive in it. (And they don't realize that there's a layer of ice under the snow).
Hey, I'm used to locker rooms, squad bays and troop berthing on ships...I'm secure in my masculinity/heterosexuality...somethin troublin' you that you wanna share?...
the furiners ain't the problem...we learned to drive in snow and ice...it's also due to the fact that VA's only got three snowplows fer the whole durn state...
you say that like it's a bad thing...
I grew up in the mountains of SW Virginia. I know snow. I know mountain snow. I know ice. And I know how to drive in it. It may not be you, but it's also not the natives that are the problem.
And let's face it, native or not, Northern Virginians can't drive in good weather...
you say that like there's a particular reason you need us to see you that way...
no argument there...
I don't think Austin has had a total of 3" of snow over the entire 13 years I've lived here.
Have had some ice storms, though.
Scot, German, and American Indian...maybe that explains a few things...
As long as it's on your terms...it's good to have that to fall back on I'd imagine...
Scot/Irish/British/Cherokee...I dunno, oh wait...There is the French...
Talk about poetic justice...
The Fellowship versus The Fighting Uruk-Hai
by StefBaggins
BOB:
We're back, and it looks like the Fellowship is taking the Field again for defense. The Uruk-Hai have a powerful offense line, and their quartback, as you know, is a straight-shooter with a strong passing game. So far in the game he has shot for 120 yards, putting the Uruk-Hai ahead 14 to 13.
PHIL:
You're right, Bob. The Fellowship really took it hard when they missed the field goal on that last attempt. Kicker Boromir looks a bit distracted after that sack, Bob. I would hate to see them have to go to red-shirt freshman Peregrin Took to take his place. Took just hasn't had the experience that Boromir has.
BOB:
Indeed, Phil, Took is in for a wild ride if the Uruk-Hai get a hold of him. I know the Fellowship fans are hoping for the best for Boromir and the rest of the offensive line.
PHIL:
It looks like the Uruk-Hai have just run back the kick off to start the second half. Receiver Urububba was just taken down at the 35 by Gimili. That makes the fourth offensive tackle to stop a run back this game for Gimli.
BOB:
Phil, Gimli has shown remarkable talent on the offensive line, and stops like these are just one example of what we can look forward to at Rohan next week.
2nd Down and 4
BOB:
Here's the snap. Lurtz looks for a receiver. Pass intended for Charlie-Hai. Oh! Interception by Frodo Baggins! One yard gained, and he's stopped at the Fellowship's 45.
PHIL:
Bob, it almost looked like it was going to be pass interference there, but then Baggins took that leap into the air at just the right moment.
BOB:
Officials have pulled a flag on the play. Referee Lord Elrond steps up to make the call. Oh! Holding on the offense! It seems Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were picked up by some Uruk-Hai linemen and carried several yards.
PHIL:
Just strange, Bob. I have never seen goblin men putting so much effort into attacking the halfling players of The Fellowship. Perhaps this is a tactic that Coach Saruman has been working on them just for this one game, Bob.
BOB:
And it looks like The Fellowship has called a time out, and we'll be back after these messages from Old Toby.
(more to come)
