2. He got it wrong.
The Tea Partiers are the Orcs. Where were the Orcs? Still, he had a great toy collection. :)

3. I just want Anduril
Edited on Thu Jul-28-11 11:11 PM by Wraith20878
And for you non-LOTR nerds, Anduril is the sword. Yes, I am a LOTR nerd.

6. Mithril
Edited on Thu Jul-28-11 11:44 PM by Wraith20878
It was worth more than the whole shire and everything in it. It was given to his uncle Bilbo by Thorin Oakenshield son of Thrain son of Thror, King under the Mountain. Bilbo gave to Frodo to aid in his quest. Does that prove my LOTR nerd Credentials?

8. Yes it does.
Speaking of LOTR have you read Children of Hurin? I haven't gotten around to it and was wondering if it was any good or not?

9. I have read it, but it was a while ago
It takes place during the first age, during the war against Morgoth. It's the story of Turin from the Silmarillion, but expanded. It's a lot more like the Silmarillion than Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit

12. I never liked Narina that much. It seemed preachy almost.
We can talk Star Wars if you want?

26. And what's really funny,


is Colbert handled that thing like he was very familiar with it. It's cumbersome,heavy and fragile and he moved it like it was his.

15. Is that the movie with the wookies and vulcans and klingons?
I think they made a bunch of books based on that movie with Jebediah Wood and Ian Holm.
