LOL! Maybe so... I've seen some pretty desperate posting taking place when there are 3 or 4 going after the Precious at the same time!
Well, I'm going to take my triple-naught Precious and call it a night... good night all!
I can believe that. Our son was born 10 weeks early and weighed 2.5 lbs. For the first year we dealt with acid reflux, so we spent that whole year smelling like spit-up. The asthma is also related to being premature.
But he's been spunky from the beginning. He was delivered early because of my wife's blood pressure. She was in the hospital a week before he was delivered and had to wear the fetal heart monitor. But he didn't like it so he'd kick until it moved...which also meant they could no longer hear his heart beat...
That's pretty much his personality.
I know he can still do great things in spite of, or even because of asthma. We're adapting, but we've still got a lot to learn.
I watched part of the movie tonite and then had to go to rehearsal. If I can stay awake I may go finish it.
But I noticed something tonite I hadn't before. When Bilbo drops the ring on his floor as he's leaving the Shire, the ring falls to the floor with a loud thud rather than a "ping" you would normally get from dropping a ring on a tile surface.
Symbolic of the ring's nature or sound-fx mistake?
Discuss...
$#$%@, caught again....
Mazel Tov, Sam!! What a talented group we have here in the Hobbit Hole!!
I think I saw something about that in one of the 'making of' videos on the DVD. It is supposed to represent the evil in the ring; the heaviness of all the malice of the Dark Lord. Or something like that!
They definitely meant for that. Notice the same heavy thud when Gollum drops it in the prologue. I read that they put a big magnet under the floor to make it seem heavier and to eliminate any possible bounce.
G'nite again. Gotta sleep...
See? That's one reason I wouldn't go back to school now. I'm ornery enough now to tell those professors what I think of their courses. :)
yeah...but you have to get up an hour earlier to hunt...
G'mornin' OT, good ta see yer smilin' face
no ma'am... a sock full of sand spreads out the impact over too large an area to break a large bone... good for causing non lethal contusions, or, if applied to the side of the head, can knock a person out... it would crush a nose, knock out teeth or split an eye, but you'd have a hard time fracturing the cranium... you might cause a hemotoma inside the cranium, but we wouldn't want that... the subject would lose conciousness too quickly...
now why would a program on vigilantes make you think of g'nad?...
Dunno....funny isn't it? :)
