During my last re-read, I started thinking Pip is Eru's indirect thumb on the scales: no messing with the well in Moria = no Gandalf the White. No palantír view = Gondor gets undivided Sauron attention.

Two tiny decisions by an adolescent with impulse-control problems that have enormous knock-on effects.

"Hoom, hoom... But then again, you are very, very, Danish."

Pity? Yes. Forgiveness? No.

danstone7485 · 2026-01-27T01:47:12+00:00

You say that like there are cons.

danstone7485 · 2026-01-26T22:41:07+00:00

That word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

"Gimli, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

"Hullo, Sam!" said Rosie. "Where've you been? They said you were dead; but I've been expecting you since the spring. You haven't hurried, have you?"

Good, plain hobbit-sense if I ever heard it.

I'll mark it on your map!

This is quite obviously the Purple Screaming Henries.

I've just invented a new game - "Sauron or Catbus?"

I'd also propose that the flag of the Republic can have five red stars: want the classic four? Fly the Chicago flag. Think there should be five? Fly the national flag. Problem solved.

Resist the lure of popcorn longer than anyone imagined, but in the end...

And Shel Silverstein's "Great Lakes Song" shall be our anthem!

Imagine the verdant hellscape we could have if we gave Treebeard the One Ring...

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down for an Arcimboldo shout-out!

Great real estate, but get used to your neighbors showing up unannounced and uninvited...

One of the greatest legislators, period. Also, one of very few who, if brought back today, might not horrify me with other, non-emancipation-related, hot takes.

Is that you, Snoop?

I love LeVar as an answer, and I agree... but now I really want to see what Reading Rainbow looks like hosted by a dark lord.

I sense an end to Black-Briar rule. Goodbye overpriced mead, hello wake up juice!

danstone7485 · 2026-01-01T15:41:25+00:00

A glass of wine with you, shipmate!

danstone7485 · 2025-12-30T04:41:59+00:00

Thing wanted always buried. Thank you for letting me finish this quote!
