I average about 2000 in a day if I'm don't write a scene that's too technically complex or get bogged down editing. You guys are awesome.

Hehehehe.....you wouldn't say that if you had to read this crap!

I miss my whistle. :(

Oh we can joke about a lot of things that are tragic...

here...

CNN: "When he got up to his room, Jackson opened his window and held a light-skinned baby, a white towel over the tot's head, briefly over the metal railing. He held the baby with one hand.

Jackson also showed off another child who was about four or five years old. The child, whose face was also covered in white, waved to the crowd below.

A spokeswoman said Jackson was travelling with his children.

Jackson has three children, two by ex-wife Debbie Rowe, five-year-old son Prince Michael and four-year-old daughter Paris. He also has a baby who is less than one year old."

I was agreeing with you on cussing not really being a sin"

Oh, sorry, Yeah, I agree with myself, too, strongly.

Well I consider it a bad habit that's beneath my upbringing but don't consider it a sin unless you drag God's name into it.

It's lazy, IMO. As a wannabe writer, I think one should be able to express one's feelings with proper words, not cursing. The English language is beautiful, expressive, and powerful. Using foul words and 'orcish' speech defiles it. Tolkien would not approve.

There we go! - Good rules to live by in polite society.

But the men can cuss when hunting in the woods or when hanging out fishing and telling jokes!

Well I don't ever write cursing. It's a way of releasing stress when "stupid cow" just doesn't do it.

I don't say it ether, and only partly because Mom would still - regardless of the fact that I am legally an adult - wash my mouth out with soap.

And now for bed! And now for bed!

Now...Jackson may be one of those people that warrant profanity.

He isn't getting any less bizarre, to use your word, as he gets older, is he?

What ever happened to Tom T. Hall?

Well, I thought he had died, but I was surprised to learn that he is still alive, although mostly retired from performing. He apparently has been concentrating on writing... here's a webpage with more info!

No, he has definately gotten more bizarre.

Here he is in court last week testifying in court about cancelling some tour dates because his nose... well, I don't really have to explain why he would cancel...

There's two ways to play the LOTR Risk game. The normal way is to have up to four people (2 with good guy armies, and 2 with bad guy armies) to play by the traditional rules.

The other way has the bad guys teamed up against the good guys and each team tries to control as many countries and special locations as they can before the Fellowship (signified by a Ring that moves through the countries) moves off of the board.

We haven't really had time to sit down and play a whole game yet, but I am hoping to have some time this weekend to play a game.

Ever since I first saw this pic...I have just felt so bad for him. Why doesn't he get himself a prosthetic nose...like the ones the wizards wear in FOTR??

Good question... He usually wears that surgical mask in public. Seems he could afford a prosthetic person to do him up every day. I suppose in court he had to show the nose. He is being sued for 21 million dollars over cancelling shows because of it.

Interesting. How is there no Mordor and no Gondor in the map?

So...what are the two good guy teams and the two bad guy teams? I apologize if I missed this before. Is it something like Elves and Men as the good guys and two different types of orcs as the bad guys? Or what?

Sorry Rosie!

That's OK. Gave me some ammo to use against my brother. I sent him the link without much explanation. That's to get him back for sending me a link to a particularly annoying photo of a certain actor-who-shall-remain-nameless.
