It sounds like a fun time anyway... just keep practising and one day you'll be able to sit it! ;)

A young lady played the guitar and sang "Black is the Color"

The lyrics you posted make it sound positively Elvish!

I thought 'Orc Lust' was going to go, and I don't much care for 'HOBBIT SCHMOBBIT' either. I guess 'g'nad thread killer' is OK?

The only Mossberg I have fired had pistol grips on it.... it was not a hunting gun ;~D

Mine is a nice Winchester 20 guage field gun which my Dad picked for me as a present, and I had it fitted by a gunsmith with a nice Packmire pad on it.

I gave up going to the club on clay pigeon night when my dog got too old to hunt and I got distracted by other hobbies. I should pick it up again and one a couple evenings a month. The place was lit at night and everything and membership was cheap! I liked all the old guys that hung out there and tried to help me. Would be a great place to meet men if I were 70!

I think some of what Tolkien bases his writing and before him, George MacDonald had to do with things celtic. I certainly get that feel sometimes when I read the story.

Aren't elves and such Scottish in origin?

See I think it's all or nothing! I am not going to make the Admin Mod decide on borderliners, but I can ask for them to all go away. None of them are that bad.... I would place money that most were put there by insiders, if I was the betting kind!

I suppose this might be possible, but I don't see why. As I see it, they have the power to edit the keywords, I suppose we could ask them to delete them all, if it is necessary to do it that way, then we could repost the ones we don't object to.

Maybe if you changed the lyric to "Gold is the color" he wouldn't mind? :)

Yes, sort of! Jen could probably fill in more, but Tolkien's initial idea was to create a mythological pre-history for England. I think the Elves were supposed to be the Celts, or at least the original inhabitants of England, driven off by later invaders from the East (Men, basically). In his original concept, Tol Eressëa, the Lonely Isle in the Silmarillion, was supposed to be pre-historical England.

That is what I think. Start fresh... I will ask in the morning. I am in such a good mood tonight, I don't even think I could sound victimized and outraged!

If you count a certain Republican from Tennessee as an insider, I would agree.

I bet he didn't do any of them! - His would have been meaner. I think they came from closer in.
