Why not at all, but thanks for worrying. ;^) (and good afternoon to you to)

JenB thanks for pushing me to the top. NOW I am going home. ;^)

Ahem, Gondorians do NOT flit. We only do manly types of things, like....................THE POLKA!!!!!! ;^)

I did not know that the Polka was big in Gondor. I would picture the men of Dale to be much more the polka type.

I would picture the men of Dale to be much more the polka type.

I seem to remember that the Wild Men do a dance that the Hobbits consider strange.

Isn't Viggo Dutch? He's not one of those Hollywood, Alec Baldwin type libs is he?

You don't really want to know, do you? I know I don't!

Our one saving grace is that all of the people involved with LOTR, except for Ian McKellan, seem to keep their political and societal opinions to themselves. Good thing for them, and probably a very good thing for us. ;)

Oom-pah oom-pah oom-pah-pah

The men of Dale are pikers when it comes to a good polka celebration dance. All they can do is bring out the tired, old Beer Barrel Polka. After they killed Smaug did they try something new? Oh no, they did the same old Beer Barrel Polka. After the Battle of the Five Armies? You guessed it, the Beer Barrel Polka.

The Gondorians are much more refined in their Polkatology (actually, before he fell in with Saruman, ole Grima Wormtongue could do a mean Polka). We have the Tirith Polka, the Isildur Polka (before the Ring got ahold of him he could Polka with the best of them, he was really quite pleasant to be around in the pre-Ring days), and everybody's favorite - The Numenorean Shuck and Jive.

Heh heh, what DON'T the wild men do that the Hobbits wouldn't consider strange?

You are a riot! - LMAO! Changes my whole image of them! Aragorn will never Polka though - no way. Rangers don't Polka.

[ksen]

Ok, it's nearly 9:30, how did your test go?

-Kevin

I'm afraid you're right. (Could you guess that I'm not even Polish?)

-Kevin

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I come from Norwegian Lutheran stock, and there are strains of them that Polka. I would have guessed you know a fair bit about it from the way you talk... I think you are pretending to know less than you do ;~D

[JenB]

Ugh - not too horrible, other than the problem I did wrong three times! Just kept mixing up the numbers. I have no idea what grade I'm getting in that class but it's not very good.

Anyway, thanks for asking!

I'm all Irish and French. The only polka that I know of in my family was my grandmother, my dad's mom, liked to start polka'ing after a "few" drinks. It was kind of funny to see her try to polka to Aerosmith. That was around 20 years ago.
