Seeya...
there must be some way for Orlando to be in the Hobbit...
Billy and Dom as Fili and Kili! That would be fun too LOL! Only, *I* personally don't think those two are as funny as they seem to think they are. But then, I have a very twisted sense of humor...Billy and Dom's brand of humor is more Monty Pythonish in character. I can laugh at Python humor, but it's more like *snerk ha ha that's cute*, whereas lines about Jackson Pollock and polaroids from Red Dwarf have me rolling for days. Don't know what the difference is in those two brands of British humor. I just know one hits my funny bone harder than the other.
I think it has something to do with the level of outrage and self-deprecation.
They're ready to ship, except for a cover letter. 2J, how do we "know" Andy? As far as I know, we're complete strangers, and he's about to receive a token from us that could only be described as "princely" in Tolkien's world. And while princely, it still isn't enough to express our pride, admiration, and gratitude. HELP!
They look great!
Wasn't he one of the Mirkwood Elves? I thought it was his father who was supposed to have been keeping an eye on Gollum.
Again we see that all the trouble points back to the elves...
I believe Andy is the son of a friend of Cecile's, who, I think, is a homeschooling friend of 2J's. 2J can clear that up for you.
Pretty close! It was in theaters this summer, tho I never got around to seeing it. Has the usual cast-o-characters: Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway, Hector Alozono (sp?) plus a few newbies. JRD for one! He gets all Gimli in spots.

Billy describing what he was standing in on the Isengard set...
We were approached in the parking lot at Home Depot by a very sad homeless man asking for help money for food. The guy had two black eyes and other bruises and swelling on his face. One eye looked bad, the whole white of his eye was red. I asked what had happened to him and he said he had been beat up the night before.
Well, jeepers, all I had in my wallet was a $20, and I have counseled too many folk in deperate situations to have the urge to just give him money, but I was at a loss. Even knowing the resources I know all I could say to him was... "You have to get to a hospital and get that looked at!" Yeah - easy for me to say. I didn't feel like I really helped so I left and called the Emergency Shelter Network, where I know people, and talked to him about what options there were for the guy. They'd help him if he was downtown, but they can't come get him. I ended up calling Tumwater PD, hoping they could come and help the guy get to at least a shelter, if not the hospital.
Jeepers. Seems like you did all the right things. Not sure what I woulda done.
