No need to gang up. One of us can handle you...
And we've seen the look in your eyes when the precious is near...

A ranger can be VERY sneaky if he wants to be. Besides, you dwarves are so loud that we could have snuck past you in the night, to paraphrase one of the cooler elves.

I've been doing breathing exercises. I'm much quieter now.

Was just thinking, the image of dwarves in The Chronicles of Narnia is quite a bit different than the image in Lord of the Rings.

Here's a Tolkienish theology question. What happens to dwarves when they die?
Elves go to the Hall of Mandos, men wait for Iluvatar's next song/creation. However, dwarves were not created by Iluvatar, they were created by Aule, and Iluvatar accepted the dwarves as an act of praise from Aule. But I don't think their destination after death was ever addressed. Do they just return to the earth? Or is there some other place they go?
I suppose if Corin or g'nad sneak past me to the Preciouse again they can tell us. ;^)

Good question Kevin. Why don't you go do some research and get back to us. We'll guard the precious while you're gone.
(Here's betting Jen knows the answer)

...to the Preciouse....Make that "Precious", not "Preciouse".
Did I ever tell you that the Gondorian public schools have been a mess since the line of kings was broken? I hear Dan Quayle-Mir was a product of those schools.

Corin, all we have to do is start up a polka. Then we can sneak away the Precious while the Man of Gondor is dancing.
To: Overtaxed; ksen
Ah, in that case, roll out the barrell...
To: ksen
I hear Dan Quayle-Mir was a product of those schools. Yes, and when he visited Rivendell, he was overheard to say, "I wished I'd studied Elvis more closely..."
To: Corin Stormhands
Well, look where we are...
To: Corin Stormhands
The dwarf stands alone...
To: Corin Stormhands
Back off!
