Congratulations again on your marriage Darth!

I dated a Stars Wars fanatic with mixed success when I was 25. He was actually quite romantic, but the action figures collection he had in his bedroom gave me the screamin' willies, and made me feel a little like I was dating someone's little brother.

Nice as Star Wars guys may be... I am quite sure the best date is a Lord of the Rings fanatic. I dig guys that can can speak poetry in Elvish, or will admit to getting teary eyed at the choices of Master Samwise or the fall of Boromir. Here's to all the good LoTR lovin' men I know (I hope I have not forgotten anyone!)

Hey, I do LOTR too! :-)

As much as I was anticipating "Attack Of The Clones", it's **really** left me feeling flat and unimpressed. The only two characters who really "felt" like they were straight out of classic Star Wars were Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Count Dooku (Christopher Lee, who has the most WICKED Star Wars villain of all time with this role IMHO). I wanted to cry at least once during Episode II: never happened.

By contrast, not only did my fiancee and me cry at times during "Fellowship Of The Ring", but during the trailer for "The Two Towers" as well :-)

Congrats Darth!

I'm off to take the 13-year-old to see it tonite. Funny how I got two kids never having had a date...

How's this:

 
Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Si vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië!
