You have made me laugh... and now I have heard the horns of Gondor play a fine version of Roll out the Barrel... Now that's a good night! May you dream of ants!

So who's the Choreographer of Gondor!

Gondor HAS no choreographer, Gondor NEEDS no choreographer!

Now THAT'S funny! LOL! ;^)

I nominate that for "Best Line of the Night."

Now, good night. Really!

Hair, isn't that what Boromir meant with that spiel about the Horns calling the Lords of Gondor home?

When Boromir said that people would say "The lords of Gondor have returned"... is that anything like Lords of the Dance?

Ok, I'm up to late. Night, all!

The things you notice when you're taking stills....

Did anyone notice that Isildur appears to be sporting the seven stars on his armor in the prologue? At least, that's what it looks like to me in this picture:

Now that you mention it (and provided the still), yes! I noticed it!

Good Morning everyone....are we still silly this morning?

Good morning. I don't know about silly, but I'm still chuckling over SuziQ's Gondor NEEDS no choreographer line. ;^)

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

Penny1: You don't really want to know, do you? I know I don't!

Now that you mention it, no, I don't really want to know. ;^)

QUESTION FOR EVERYBODY: If politicians had been cast for the roles in LOTR, who would play what?

We already know who would play Shelob, what about the rest?

Here’s a partial list that I came up with (for some reason it is easier to cast the politicians in the bad guy roles rather than the good guy roles):

1.) Al Gore – Evil Ent
2.) Bill Cl***** - Sauron
3.) George W. – Strider (He hasn’t quite grown into Aragorn yet, though the potential is there)
4.) Jeffords – Boromir
5.) Daschle – Gollum
6.) Gephardt – Wormtongue
7.) Ron Paul – Faramir
8.) Dick Armey – Gimli
9.) Tom Delay – Legolas

Well, there’s my stab at it.

Ooh, that's better than mine. I had him as Boromir, because he started out as a good guy, but then turned bad. Jeffords as Boromir was faulty because Boromir redeems himself in the end, Saruman doesn't.

I guess that we could always hope that even though Jeffords looks like a Saruman now, that he may end up turning out to be a Boromir. (I know, I know, fat chance; but remember, this is a thread about a FANTASY topic)

And don't be insulting Smeagol with Daschle. There is at least some good in Smeagol.

That's true, but I was trying to play off of Gore's wooden tree like personality.
