LOL! I was going to make some smart aleck comment, but you beat me to it (and did it better than I would have...)
I hear yuh...that scene also let's you see into their character a bit...the hobbits' innocent, heartfelt grief, Legolas' thoughtful countenance and dignity manifested in silent introspection and the recalling events long past, and Gimli's display of grief through rage...that's where I'm like a dwarf...why cry when there's something to bash...
What was with Gimli in that scene, anyway? Legolas was standing right there! :)
use yer head man! that's when you break out the .12 ga...
I see that the late night spam fest stole away the Precious. Well, it's better than Smeagol! :)
I laughed my butt off all the way home yesterday with Seamus's reference to "It's Pat" from SNL in regards to Lothlorien. HAHAHAHAHA! Thanks a lot, ItsOurTimeNow!!
OK - I stocked up on several rashers of bacon since I know have a MUCH better idea of the appetites of us Hole Dwellers. SO, on with breakfast....
BIG platters of bacon and sausage on either end of the table (this is to avoid Corin "parking" himself in front of one of them and eating it all). I've cooked up a tower of flapjacks and there's fresh maple syrup on the sideboard.
Scrambled eggs are on the other table and all of the extras are next to it (picante sauce too). There's a basket of rolls and butter there too.
Coffee and tea are on the left. ENJOY!
Where's g'nad! What have you done with him!?
...that's where I'm like a dwarf...why cry when there's something to bash...
Oh, there you are. ;^)

I imagine poor Pip was feeling the worst out of the bunch. He probably felt it was his fault since it was through his Tookishness that the orcs came and then after the orcs, the Balrog.
I like how PJ showed a compassionate side to Boromir at that scene. Actually during the whole Moria episode Boromir shows how much he has come to care for the group: placing a comforting hand on Gimli's shoulder in Balin's tomb, taking Merry & Pippen under his arms as he jumps across the chasm in the staircase, carrying Frodo out of Moria, and then urging Mr. Focus to let the Fellowship have a moment to grieve for Gandalf.
I need more coffee, too...
I'll second that...RM, can you cook a whole venison haunch?...
Oh, looks like there's only 5 pieces left. If we left that it would only insult him so here ya go, one more piece for everyone.... *munch* *munch*
*Urp!* Whoops! Pardon me.....*yawn!* I need a nap now.
Works for me!
Now for some sausage...
