[mtngrl@vrwc]

Does anybody have any ideas about how I should go about posting the answers? Perhaps in white font so as not to ruin it for people who find the thread tomorrow? Perhaps with a warning that the answers follow?

ROTFLMAO

[Northern Yankee]

Saw it with my son last night!

Loved it.

The beacons are lit...

When I saw that scene it reminded me of the Winnebago tribe of Wisconsin. Hundreds of years ago the tribe would celebrate the arrival of spring by lighting huge fires at the highest elevations. Other tribes looking for those fires would then light their own.

In a week's time the tribes from around the state would gather around the great Horicon Marsh area(South central part of the state) to celebrate, and then move out of their winter encampents.

[Snake65]

Tolkien wrote a couple of them.
