ksen, ksen, ksen.....tsk tsk tsk

You take delight in this, don't you? I'm speechless, since I don't know a ferengi from a patootie...

I only know the old original version of Star Trek, never got into the Next Generation...

Just think Capitalists without consciences.

Even though the Ferengi were introduced in The Next Generation they really came into their own on Deep Space Nine.

Thank you so much for posting that!

You're welcome! We saw a copy of the DVD in a local bookstore... according to the cover copy every Schoolhouse Rock song (46 total, plus a couple of new ones) is on the DVD, unedited and unchanged from the original form. :)

Someone should have put Boromir in his place!

Yeah... Legolas' little slap-down wasn't quite the same, was it.

I liked those...the upside is that they really do help you remember stuff. The downside is that the songs out-catchy Veggie Tales songs.

No. No one pointed out to him that it wasn't JUST the men of Gondor who were protecting Middle Earth. They just let him whine.

If they told him once, they told him a thousand times, but did he listen???

Welcome here Elf-Friend!

We are a friendly group here, a little weird, but in a good way... some days are weirder than others. I think everyone here is still in a bit of an adrenaline rush after the latest trailer and all the news!

Let us know when you need pints, or Lembas to keep you going in the harsh outside world... and you can always come here when you need a break. We will still be rambling on!

That's because getting slapped by an Elf is like getting slapped by your little sister.

Now if a Beorning had slapped Boromir down.....let's just say they would have needed a different Gondorian to round out the Fellowship.

Is there a contest or something? Remember I'm new to the Shire.

If my memory is working properly, someone eventually told RWRF what it was all about, soooooo...

One of the traditions of the Hobbit Hole is the race for posts ending in 2, 3, or 4 zeroes... they've become "Precious" (or at least semi-Precious, for the double-naught posts.) Much like Smeagol's "Precious", they seem to have a strange power over the minds of Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, and Men alike.... :)

By the way, you've chosen an auspicious time to join the group, RM, since we're coming up on a quadruple-naught Precious (30,000!)

Well, who exactly were the Rangers then? I thought they were Gondorians in "exile" if you will.

Oh, yeah, it's been 20 years or more since I've heard some of them, and I can still remember them...

No one ever told me!! I figured it out on my own.... sheesh... And I remember being very elvish about it at first. Kind of looking down my nose at all of the simple ones playing their silly games. But this place cures you of elvishness in a hurry. I figured if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

But I didn't know what a threadkiller was. Had to have that one laboriously spelled out to me....right Bear? ;^)
