Hm......I dunno. I mean, it's clear that the king business ain't what
it used to be and the guy WAS a ranger back in the day, right? Well,
what better place for a geezer with nothing left to do....no goblins
to slay....no world to save, etc....than hang out in a newsgroup
ostensibly dedicated to a subject he used to be more than passably
familiar with. And at his age and given the sort of changes he's been
through, I should hope he'd be a bit crazy by now. I think somebody
oughta ask him outright if he used to hang out with elves and
****.......um.....you ask him.....go on, I double dare ya! :)

Wolfgang
don't get too close though, he might have a sword or something under
that cloak. :(

I was supposed to pick Snake up this eve in Greensboro, NC, but her
flight
out of Vancouver, BC, Canada, North Amerika, planet Earth was canceled
due
to inclement weather, or so she said? I suspect that she is just
toyin'
with my head. She likely knew that the weather and temp would be just
right, back here, to go flyfishin', and that I wouldn't dare take-off
on
my
own, knowin' that I was supposed to pick her up at the airport this
eve.
In
her diabolical way, she waited 'til just the right moment--to late to
go
fishin', but not to late to wish I had gone earlier--to call and tell
me
she
wouldn't be comin' in until Tues.

Op --WOMEN! and I bet they control the weather too!--

Natural conclusion for me to come to since Op knows that in the last two
weeks I have seen the Return of The King four times, and hope not to be
through with it yet! What I have not told him-for fear he will learn the
truth of my insanity- is that in the last two weeks I have also re-watched
extended versions of the first two LOTR films on dvd twice each! Great
stuff.

So Op- who were you referring to when you said shed not tears for me, for my
name is not Strider....

the web sites were nice- good commentary on Tolkien and this work. Tolkien
makes many great statements on the human condition and the condition of the
social and political world in this story. So, while this stuff is
enormously entertaining, there is much more to taken from it.

He's just some dumb-ass that's been postin' of late. I had no clue, not
clue bat to assist me, about the Strider in the LOTRs thingy. Been quite a
while since I read that stuff, and was really only smitten with THE HOBBIT,
and not the Trilogy.

I really don't either- truth be known! I wish Boone would continue to show
it all through the winter and into the summer like Vancouver will do. They
will continue to show it, and have numerous special showings where you can
buy a ticket to see all three films at once, and they will do this probably
for a year! People there are really hooked on it.

Before you make a habit of introducing yourself to a room full of strangers
and are forced to make a weekly decision about whether you are more bored by
repeating your story ad infinitum or by listening to theirs, you might want
to have a look at "J.R.R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings", one of the
"Modern Critical Interpretations" series. This volume, a collection of
scholarly essays, is edited and contains and introduction by Harold Bloom.
I haven't read it myself yet (currently in number six position on the to be
read list), but if you're interested in Tolkien's work as anything more than
a pleasant diversion you'll probably find it illuminating.

You might also find an exploration of Tolkien's relationship with C.S Lewis
interesting.
