It doesn't do any harm to find out the lies most people are listening to so I can counteract them.
To: carton253
You have more patience than I do. I can't stand listening to their lies in the first place.

Did you watch Nova last night? No, missed it, but I have seen the story about how it is not possible to build a structure to withstand a WTC type attack. But I have just been distracted by this story:

If that's true... then that is great news. It could mean that a decision has been made...it could mean that Bush really meant you are for us or against us... keep me informed.

Afternoon, all. It's turned into a gorgeous day! Now I have the rest of the afternoon to myself. What a luxury!

Happy Birthday, JenB from Smeagol!
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Well, they just deleted the Colin leaving thread so it must not be true.
To: carton253
Thank you! I'm happy - just found some interesting looking books in
Baen's free library. If any of them are as good as they look I'll be spending the afternoon switching screens between a good book and an interesting political thread.
So, is old Colon actually leaving?

Don't know... but, if anyone hears let me know. (the thread has been deleted, so I don't think its true)
To: JenB;carton253
is old Colon actually leaving?Looks like no, the thread is now 'This thread has been deleted'. It was a fun thread while it lasted though (267 posts in two hours).

Hmmmm....Hobbit Hole undefended tonight. But 30 posts too many for poor sneak Smeagol. Smeagol say "good night" then.
To: Overtaxed
Good night OT... It sure has been quiet in the ole Hobbit Hole today... I was away all day, but lurking around for a bit now.
To: HairOfTheDog
How was your day? Busy? I'm getting tired but am stubbornly refusing to go to bed... just yet.

Yeah - busy. Got somewhere today though... Need to balance my checkbook so I can pay bills. Putting it off...
To: HairOfTheDog
I suppose it's good to balance your checkbook before you run out of money...rats, I was gonna try to post to the Dragon and stir up some comments, and now I can't think straight. Do that tomorrow...

Yeah - post something to me in there tomorrow... I can't think either but I want to do some Dragon talk.
Very good to know how much I actually have before I write all the big checks! Today is payday, and I haven't subtracted anything since last payday... very behind, not good daughter of accountant behavior.
To: HairOfTheDog;carton253
Congratulate me! I have just dispatched one of the worst Uruk-hai on FR, one 'AdamWeisshaupt'. My axe is still wet.
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Congratulations! I went and read a little bit of it! You can relax a little now, you have earned it.
I did notice that Aragorn was particularly good about cleaning all the blood off his sword after a fight. He wiped it down before putting it away each time in the film. I didn't notice Gimli doing it. Does he do you think? - or are dwarves not the type to care about a little blood on the weaponry? I have to admit, I haven't even noticed what sort of hilt he carries his axe in... Guess I shall have to watch it again.
BTW... before you play your movie, you will have to download a small player (get the free version) from DivX.com. You don't really need the player (it plays in Windows Media Player) BUT, it installs a codec you will need for it to work.
To: HairOfTheDog
are dwarves not the type to care about a little blood on the weaponry?Did not notice that point in the film either, but I can't say that my conception of Dwarves include them being finicky about cleaning their axes. Swords are fine, delicate instruments. Axes are for brute force, rather than delicacy. Also, while dwarves enjoy the fine halls they built for themselves in Moria, they first have to build them. That is dirty work. Of course they do appreciate delicate metal work, they just don't use this in creating their axes.
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
I think you are right, dwarves just let it dry on. But I would like to try to notice where on earth he carries that big axe when he is walking... One would think it would be obvious... maybe I am just never looking in poor ignored Gimli's direction... there is so much else to look at!
