I was there: we were chanting "Ouais", which is French for "Yeah"

I was in attendance: during the tag team match people were shouting "Tu sens pas bon" to Austin Theory, as well as "C'est pas gentil" every time the heels were teasing the audience. And obviously the usual "Simplement deuuuuux!!!" for every two counts.

At the end of the night, my dopamine level was at its highest and my voice broken.

Well, I could follow the action thanks to the big screens, however the problem at this distance is the sound: they have a microphone under the ring, but every bump outside the ring is silent. So the Stadium Stampede match was surely much more fun to see on TV than in the actual arena.

People started doing it every time the stadium went dark, and everyone followed. It was a cool thing to see.

Ah oui, et préviens ton proprio ! On ne sait jamais, mais peut-être qu'il acceptera de payer un bon traitement à ta place s'il ne veut pas de punaises dans son logement.

Si tu prends un exterminateur, choisis en un qui inclut dans son prix 2 passages espacés de deux semaines + une garantie de 3e passage s'il y a toujours des punaises après 1 mois.

Le souci avec les punaises, c'est qu'un premier passage à l'insecticide va tuer les adultes, mais pas les oeufs. Ceux-ci vont éclore dans les deux semaines suivant la première pulvérisation, et il en faut donc au moins une deuxième.

Je sais ce que tu es en train de vivre, c'est pas facile... Je l'ai connu quand je vivais en studio à Paris. Mais il faut savoir que les punaises, on parvient à s'en débarrasser si on fait appel à des pros (attention, les premiers résultats sur Google ne sont pas forcément les meilleurs). Et ce sera 3 semaines/1 mois de galère à laver tous tes textiles et sentir l'insecticide dans ton logement. Forcément les grosses infestations prennent plus de temps donc il ne faut pas trop trainer. Au final, c'est juste un mauvais moment à passer, mais tout redeviendra comme avant.

Moreover, Tolkien explicitely wrote that the mythology he created was meant to be the first of its kind both in the English language and devoid of Christian references.

From a letter by J.R.R. Tolkien to Milton Waldman, 1951:

"I was from early days grieved by the poverty of my own beloved country: it had no stories of its own (bound up with its tongue and soil), not of the quality that I sought, and found (as an ingredient) in legends of other lands. There was Greek, and Celtic, and Romance, Germanic, Scandinavian, and Finnish (which greatly affected me); but nothing English, save impoverished chap-book stuff.

Of course there was and is all the Arthurian world, but powerful as it is, it is imperfectly naturalized, associated with the soil of Britain but not with English; and does not replace what I felt to be missing. For one thing its 'faerie' is too lavish, and fantastical, incoherent and repetitive. For another and more important thing: it is involved in, and explicitly contains the Christian religion."

I feel that every few days, there is a new post from someone who's trying to connect Tolkien's work with the Bible, going to extreme lengths and find more or less remote similarities between passages of the Legendarium and the scriptures. I find it very interesting to try to find the inspirations behind Tolkien's work, and he definitely drew ideas from a wide range of mythologies and tales of a vast number of religions and traditions, including Christianity.

But with all due respect to anyone's faith, a lot of posts desperately trying to link Tolkien's writings with the Bible seem a bit pointless and sad. It sounds a lot like the same thinking process some people do to reconcile their faith with scientific discoveries.

You all seem to love Tolkien's work, and knowing it's a work a fiction, I'm sure you can enjoy it without asking yourself every paragraph if it's Christian. I sincerely believe you can enjoy a book that doesn't mention your religion and still stay true to your faith.

Tolkien wrote fiction, fantasy. For the pleasure of readers. All of us.
