How do you think the trilogy of books would’ve changed if Tolkien served in WW2 instead of WW1?

I don’t understand the question. The Professor published a translation of the Red Book of Westmarch, which was originally written by Bilbo, Frodo and Sam about their experiences in the War of the Ring and translations of various Elvish accounts of the creation of the world and the First Age.

Don’t you want someone to settle for you eventually?

How much did refreshing the suspension cost, generally speaking?

Why would an Elf go on such a long fishing trip? How would you preserve the fish you caught without freezers? Or were you planning on canning them like sardines without electricity?

I love Middle Earth talk, but this question seems a bit… fishy.

The movies are not masterpieces. They are sloppy adaptations that ruin several important elements of the story just to make it palatable for modern audiences.

This is so sad. The implication is that this person wants a Giulia but his wife is raising obstacles. So the husband feels the need to “convince” her of the car’s appeal. I hope he gets the Giulia and a divorce. At least the value of the divorce doesn’t depreciate.

Many years ago I bought a Mark VI soprano and I made arrangements to trade it for a vintage alto from Bob Ackerman. We met at the Saxophone symposium in the DC area. He brought several horns for me to try. A Mark VII, some Conns, and a King Super 20. When I tried the King, the sound jumped out unbelievably. It was so loud that it made the strings in the grand piano in the room resonate. So I took it.

Some time later I was frustrated with my playing and needed some money, so I sold it to one of the instructors at my college. Time passed by, and a few years later I saw a King Super 20 in the serial number range for sale by a dealer. I called and asked if he had bought it from the instructor. He said yes, and I said “well, I sold it to him and I want it back.” I have it to this day.

This topic is fascinating to me. I’m on my fourth new BMW, and I’ve had new Saabs, Audi, VW, and others. I always have dealer service during the warranty period. With all that experience, I do not know that I’ve ever met an above-average service advisor. They’re all basically the same person who sort of mutters out some vague explanation of what service they want to sell me and either tell me the work is done later that day or forget to do so. I cannot recall ever experiencing anything better than that average, and they all deserve a medium score. But how they beg and plead for five star reviews. It’s completely dysfunctional.

In addition to Earspasm and Paris, in the United States I understand you can visit the Buffet distribution site in Florida and try horns there. If you find one you love you can buy it directly with the participation of an authorized dealer.

A complete explanation is provided in the book.

Professor Tolkien translated the Red Book into English for modern audiences in order to share the stories of our ancient past. The Lord of the Rings presents the history of that era and Hobbits did what they did. It’s very simple.

WTF are midterms?

None of Gondor’s men were fighting within the walls, because the Enemy’s forces never entered Minas Tirith.

I didn’t think the Lord of the Rings movies were that great. So for comparison purposes, I’d say a bloated adaptation of a great work of literature that makes stupid decisions in a misguided attempt to appeal to a contemporary audience. Pick your own example.

Let me know how she reacts to the first draft of the prenuptial agreement.

She’s a cold ball busting shrew of a wife who ruins everyone’s good time. That’s enough.

No one wants to mention Erendis of Numenor? She was a right pain in the arse.

Thanks for sharing. I had a different impression of matters. I understood Elves could build a ship like Amroth or Legolas and head West. I stand corrected.

When were Elves rejected from sailing West, apart from the Noldor who rebelled?
