Grrrrr....I've been humming that Hobbit drinking song all day!

I can't find a decent image of LuciusWhen I saw Lucius, I knew I recognized the actor, but couldn't remember where I'd seen him. Halfway through the movie I remembered. He was the vicious British soldier from the movie "The Patriot"; the one who was the bane of Mel Gibson's family! He was a particularly apt Lucius!
I wondered if Derek Jacobi might nake a good Albus Dumbledore for the next few films!

I've been humming that Hobbit drinking song all day! Is it 4:00 p.m. yet?
To: Overtaxed
Yes, and I am right at the border of town... where it may have been common some years ago, but there are enough people around that it is not common now. No one would hunt here. I would not have a safe line of fire anywhere on my property. I hear very distant occasional shots. But not next door.
And heh... I don't want to re-start the argument either. I hope everyone knows that I am not a city girl who is afraid of things that go bang. I am a gun nut, and I felt it was inapropriate and a little worriable... It was not a panic, but a concern on my part about whether my neighbor was being smart.

I wondered if Derek Jacobi might make a good Albus Dumbledore for the next few films! Hmmm...he might. I saw an article the other day with a list of potential Dumbledores. There were about ten options. Did you think Richard Harris looked a little weaker in this one? His voice seemed softer. Or maybe I'm just comparing him to Gandalf.
I thought Malfoy also looked a little like Christopher Plummer. But I hadn't made the Patriot connection.

and the Mrs. can continue to stay at home w/ our daughter. Prayers going up for you RIGHT now, and I'll put you on our Parish Prayer line with Rosie, and Corin's family.

Is it 4:00 p.m. yet?I wish. The boss is gone until Friday and as soon as I clean the probes it's crap time (until the extracts finish cooking.)

... at The House which is at the edge of a small town. We don't even think twice about hearing shots... try livin' on a Marine Base... the sound of distant gunfire, mortars and artillery, and engineer demolitions is common...
Now that we've beaten a dead horse into a damp spot on the sand... 
see the elf standin' next to the ladder on the left?... the one with his sword outstretched?... he's gettin' ready to go fer a long ride... straight down... screamin' like a woman...heh heh heh...
just doin' my part to change the subject...
To: Overtaxed
and as soon as I clean the probes it's crap time the words "probe" and "crap" just do not belong in the same sentence...
To: g'nad; Overtaxed
g'nad Proctologist would fit nicely in the keywords...but I ain't gonna put it there...
To: g'nad; Overtaxed
Well, I can think of few conversations where "its crap time" could fit into polite conversation! Heh... And we all know what she is talking about, but I have to laugh at the reaction of a new lurker who entered the thread for the first time at that point!

was watchin' the SE DVD last nite (just snippets), and just noticed somethin'...
Durin' Boromir's last stand, when he's got two arrows hangin' outta his chest, the Horn of Gondor is whole, but when we see him drop two his knees after the third (creased the lung and probably damaged the Renal artery) the Horn is clearly cloven... I didn't see anything the last two Uruks he dispatched did that would account fer that... comments?...
To: HairOfTheDog
but I have to laugh at the reaction of a new lurker who entered the thread for the first time at that point! my point exactly...
To: Corin Stormhands
hey! I ain't the person started talkin' 'bout "crap" and "probes"... talk to OT 'bout that...
To: g'nad; Overtaxed
talk to OT 'bout that... I'd be just as happy not to talk about it at all...which I think was your point to begin with...
To: Overtaxed
The only gunshots I have ever heard was when I was in the West Bank in Israel.
To: ItsOurTimeNow
Will certainly keep you in my prayers
To: g'nad
The uncloven Horn of Gondor went the way of Gandalf's original staff! LOL!!
To: g'nad
Did you notice that Smeagol kept his word and didn't go after the Precious yet again.
