how many calories in a wafer of lembas? (or is something more sinister behind that endless willowy thinness?)

i always sort of imagined them as beignets dusted lightly with confectioner's sugar and speed.

It's all about knowing how to work out without working out. Oh yes.

BTW, Brian has just learned that Mark S is *the* Mark S as in Mark Sinker from The Wire. Having learned this, he expressed surprise over the fact that there would be someone who wrote for The Wire who had a sense of humor. ;-)

1. Legolam = slender, winsome, mega-fuckable => as with many such foax, REALLY QUITE IRRITATING
2. Galadriel = Pigsy from Monkey (ears)
3. Rivendell = middleearth capital of W.Morris-oid ard & crafts; Lothlorien = Forest of the Ewoks heh
4. Fighting Uruk-Hai = Predator
5. Gimli: "Never trust an elf!!"
6. (this will surely validate matters for anthony): Sauron = Great Flaming VAGINA!! It's TRUE
7. OK has no one evah spotted this? Sauron = not boss of evil in overall Silmarillion story, but second in command. TOP BOSS OF ALL EVIL EVER = MORGOTH!! Do you SEE!!

I haf a theory but you must wait till after Xmas my pretties.

oh oh! i forgot!1 ELROND = BRIAN ENO !!!!!!!!!!

― mark s, Wednesday, 19 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh yeah! I thought Elrond looked exactly like Roxy era Bri when I saw the trailer! But finding elves sexy is just wrong, so I'll have to try to forget about it.

The Elrond=Eno conundrum has made my day. "It must be cast back into the fires of doom! In terms of my preparation to do so, I spent eight weeks in Africa contemplating the noise late night crickets make when I read art pieces about blue lights."

i haf pash for *everyone* in LoTR, balrog to uruk-hai, except aragorn obv (who = most boring major character in bookZoR also)

oh oh i forgot this too: THE SHIRE is not Oxfordsh as per JRRT's drreamings but THE EMERALD ISLE BEGORRAH! At Bilbo's party is dancing last seen in steerage on the Titanic

And it seems M.Pr•nd•rg•st was korrekt abt Enya after all hurrah.

Is he boring, really? I like him a lot because in many ways he's very antiheroic, at least in terms of image. There's the one reference to just that in the Bree chapters, of course, but in many ways he's brusque, self-torturing, at points very unsure of his course. He's even prone to snobbery! I think it makes him more human in ways, these flaws.

Isabel thought Strider was FoXoR (also Legolas but not Sean Bean). "It must be the beard" I said.

― Tom, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

can we explore the grrlie vs boi pash dimension re LoTR specif and FANTASY vs SF in gen. etc, then? In the queues in leicester sq. i wd say it was about equal male-female; cliche says that this gothy shit = "feminised"?

― mark s, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey, dont diss aragorn, chicks dig the strong silent tortured type

Nicole! Help! He seeks to bring it to life again, he seeks the One Broken Razor!

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned, this task has been appointed to you. If you don't do it, no one will.

Wellll, I always thought LoTR was a total boyzone, you know geeks with C64s/Kate Bush obsessions. Then again my girlfriend loved the book, yet is wary of the film (she's sceptical about the casting, the hype and one big additional reason: she hates Liv Tyler's guts). I suspect soon LotR will join Star Wars as a taboo subject in our house.

But Mark you think there is a division there in re Fantasy/SF because I always suspected they were both boyzone's, just that SF was the one for boys-with-good-taste. ;) ;) ;)
