I fail to recognize what MISSION he's fighting to the finish for, let alone its importance!
To: HairOfTheDog; RosieCotton
I fail to recognize the importance of this great and noble mission he is willing to fight to the finish for. Best I can figure he's just got really low expectations for his fifteen minutes of fame...
To: Corin Stormhands
LOL! "Honey! - I beat up a bunch of Hobbit wierdos today! - I am a big tough-guy! What? - You aren't impressed?"
To: RosieCotton
Not to mention that the only "fight" is in his own little world. Obviously a legend in his own mind.
To: Overtaxed
I have been playing a word game on the side... you know this stupid game says that "ent" and "orc" are not real words? Fantasy and reality collide.
[harumph!]
To: SuziQ
Some folks in these parts resemble that remark!Yup.

... you know this stupid game says that "ent" and "orc" are not real words? I'd let them count in Scrabble!

I picked up the first of the Great War series by Harry Turtledove at the library yesterday.I haven't read the Great War series, but I have read Turtledove's World War series. That one's premise is that lizard-like aliens try to invade Earth in 1940, and are surprised to find that the horse-riding, spear-carrying rustics their scout-ships had shown 500 years before are now technologically sophisticated and on the verge of nuclear warfare. It sounds like the two series were written similarly though, in that they both have a lot of characters, and the viewpoint is constantly switching between them. If you can stick with it, it should be worth the effort! Turtledove does a great job of weaving actual historical elements into his alternate history!

Hey everyone! Had to pop in and get my LoTR fix. :)
Great sneak there, Ksen!
Rosie - those men of Gondor are ALWAYS sneaking around. You've gotta grab the Precious while you can - funkle or no!! Chances are some man of Gondor or dwarf will magically appear to snaig it anyway. HAHAHAHA! Also, congrats on your little bros sandwich shop. :)
Speaking of sandwiches....Lunch is ON!!!
I've set up the hoagie buffet again for the grab and go Hobbit Hole-dwellers like me. Otherwise, I've baked my very special Boneless Pork Loin Honey-Whiskey Roast with fresh veggies on the side. Plenty of beer and wine on the side table along with soft drinks.
Oh, and don't forget the fresh baked bread and rolls in the wicker basket to your left with gobs of creamy, freshly churned butter in the clay crocks next to it! Get em while they're HOT!

Well, I just ran out and bought a bunch of flower bulbs, which I will hopefully get planted today or tomorrow. If I'm lucky, my house won't look so sad and dreary next spring!

I'm probably starting too late - we had a hard frost this morning...had to scrape my windshield before work.
To: RosieCotton
I'm probably starting too late... Well, I am a bit further south. It was in the 50s this morning. Felt nice. (but that's about as cold as I like it)
To: Corin Stormhands
It's in the forties here NOW, at midday!
Winter is coming fast...
To: RosieCotton
Winter is coming fast... It's coming along too fast here as well. I still have to finish painting and get my storm windows back up. I'm almost done downstairs, but the second story intimidates me.

Destructor:I wanted to fight with HAIR, and all you other guys are just PICKING on me! How DARE you stick up for each other! Whine, whine, whimper...
