The elves would have nothing to do with the United Nations.... They have no interest in lording over anyone! How boring is that! What elf has ever lorded over anyone or sought the approval of a UN or anyone before doing anything?

You are confused, my friend.

"Elves are very intellectual and wealthy liberals..."

That part about elves being liberals isn't going to fly. JRRT, who created them, clearly considered his elves heroes, and JRRT was no liberal, but conservative in the extreme, and disliked socialism.

"...but basically they are elitists at heart who can't resist thinking they know what is best for everybody else."

Actually, they don't care what is best for everybody else. I think the part about them being elitists at heart is right, though ;-)

I bought Beauty and the Beast on DVD for my 5 year old...

You should invite OT over. She's a big Disney fan...

Oh Sleeping Beauty is all right....that came pre-PC/Socialist. Walt Disney must be turning in his grave.

I would be game for a chat view!!


So Uglúk is in, huh!... And perhaps Grishnákh!

Yes, I guess since Lurtz lost his head in the first part, that opens up some room for advancement in the minion ranks... and the story has the potential to play like the book!

I wanted to thank you for standing up to that jerk on our behalf today! You didn't have a dog in that fight, and I appreciate the kind things you said, about us, and I feel bad about the crude insults you endured.

I am proud to be your friend g'nad.

Please have a special Pint of Thanks!

Destructor's last few comments had an air of hysteria, I noticed.

So only the stuff in the public directory is available to anyone? If I save stuff in my private folder no one can get to it but I can still link from it?

I'll just test what I'm thinking of....

Not necessarily... I'm not sure how RoadRunner defines "public" and "private" folders... but in general, if you can link to something and it displays, then it's not private.
