I don't think they polka'd. Which country polka's as a national past time... I want to say Poland, but that's just because it is obvious.

Oh, now I'm just getting homesick... (sigh!)

You're missing one of the most beautiful times of year, for sure...

"Yodel-layee-yodel-layee-yodel-lay-ee-oooooo!!!!"

It's a little cumbersome, so by Strider's time we changed it to "Elendil!" ;^)

"As the company enters the elven kingdom of Lothlorien, they are challenged by a small band of warrior Elves. The sex of these Elves is ambiguous. Some of them might be male or female, while the only one with a speaking part is, although male, strikingly effeminate. The only explanation I can think of for this strange production choice is that Jackson was attempting to make his Elves beautiful. It is a sad commentary on our cultural understanding of beauty that the only way he could devise to accomplish this was to make them androgynous."

This guy gets it! He really gets it!

Haldir of Lorien,
Was a very androgynous elf,
He was ruthlessly snooty,
And awfully haughty,
And he loved to preen himself...
(more to come)

Gondor of course. A truly manly dance!

Woo-hoo! Haldir bashing - my favorite!

The movie Haldir, that is! Oh, how I hate him!

ksen isn't a dwarf. He's our resident Gondorian Choreographer...

My mistake. I should have noticed his shoes. :)

Ballet slippers instead of galoshes!

You don't polka in ballet slippers.

Now here are some good boots to polka in:

I didn't kill Sam, did I?

You tried. You delivered Sam and Frodo to Shelob. And then the attack on Mount Doom where, even then, Sam spared you after you whined like a sissy boy:

'Don't kill us', he wept. 'Don't hurt us with nassty cruel steel! Let us live, yes, live a lttle longer. Lost lost! We're lost. And when Precious goes we'll die, yes, die into the dust!' He clawed up the ashes of the path with his long fleshless fingers. 'Dusst!' he hissed.

Smeagol the Pansy.

Polka dancing.

OK. Men of Gondor doing the polka.

What a mental image!
