We're off to the park! See you later!

That's just evil. Someone did ping the big guys, right?

FYI, the gentleman involved in these posts has just been banned. Not nuked though, the Moderators are getting really tolerant. The guy did finally say that President Bush (by name) knew about 9/11 and planned or permitted it.

if the rumor is true and if fairies are really elves, then that might explain the elvishness about Frodo?

Actually I think it's just one of those fairy-tale elements that show up in Hobbit. There really don't seem to be any fairies or sprites or other little things in the LotR universe. They got written out fairly early on, IIRC the proper History of Middle Earth reference. Probably hobbits just have fairy tales like we do, and it's just a story to explain the weirdness of the Tooks. Like medieval humans had "changelings", maybe.

[2Jedismom]

Probably so. It seems that Frodo is often described as having an "elvish air about him" or that he looks elvish at times. Faramir notices it, Sam too when he leaves him in Shelob's lair and also the orcs think he looks elvish when they find him. I just wonder why all these references to elvish in Frodo...

[JenB]

The 'elvishness' is just the spiritualish way that Frodo has about him. IMO, anyway. I have enough trouble with the human/elf pairings to even think of hobbits and elves together. It's kinda a scary thought.

Am I logged in? hehehe

Glad I was super busy today, because I noticed that the site was down a lot. Luckily I had enough I was supposed to be doing that I didn't get the shakes.

How did you guys do?

[Overtaxed]

it's just a story to explain the weirdness of the Tooks.

Who's weird? It's the rest of the world that's weird!

I know I read somewhere, quite a long time ago, that the "elvishness" of Frodo was probably a nod to that story about fairies being in his family background. But darned if I remember where I read it, or who said it--it could have just been someone's idle speculation for all I know.

[JenB]

I think the "elvishness" is just a way of showing Frodo's spiritual side - deeper than most Hobbits', certainly... No fairies necessary!

[2Jedismom]

Almost to 51! Can I have it?

[2Jedismom]

I like the top numbers!

[JenB]

New page! Yay, fun!

[Penny1]

Not very far to 6000 now...

[HairOfTheDog]

I get new pages every 250 posts! No thrill here every 50 or 100.

[HairOfTheDog]

A little early to start sneaking to it, in case you were trying that one.... heheheh

[Penny1]

Now have you EVER known me to sneak to try and get the precioussss?

Of course, there's always a first time..... ;)

[Penny1]

BTW, have you tried to get into Imladris today? I've been trying since I got home from work, and it seems to be down.

I hope they get it back up and running soon!

[JenB]

Ooohh.. Imladris is down, eh? I'd better duck and cover. A certain sister is about to try to log on... hehehe.

[HairOfTheDog]

Has it maybe been down for awhile? - I deleted my shortcut to it and when I tried to find it awhile back the Google hit that looked like the right one directed me to the official site.... what is the URL?

[Corin Stormhands]

We know who the sneak is...
