Re: [ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
I'm not a Tolkien fan -- nothing negative. I did read The Hobbit years ago but just never got around to any of the trilogy. So maybe this is funny, and maybe it isn't, but there was a cartoon in the latest New Yorker. You don't really need to see it to get it, I wouldn't think. TOLKIEN CHARACTERS THAT NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE AUTHOR'S NOTEBOOKS.

RE: [ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
-Gary- Also, if you send the answers to this list, make sure to warn everyone that there is spoiler information involved. Good call. WARNING!! This message contains SPOILER INFORMATION!! Don't read it unless you already know everything it says! In which case, reading it is superfluous. But then, I'm talking to a bunch of people that participate in an email discussion list, so I'm being redundant. 1) What is Gollum's real name? Mullog. 2) What is the name of the king's evil advisor? Francie Ducros. 3) What is an Ent? The wife of an Ooncle. 4) Who is Gollum's friend that helps him? That would be Mr. Valium. 5) How does Frodo escape the tower? The firemen get him with their ladder rig. 6) How many palantiri are there total, and how many are known of by the end of book 3? The same number as before I got here. If you've lost some of your palantiri, don't try to pin the blame on me. 7) What army does Aragorn raise to help him win a major battle? An army of those fast-growing Star Wars clones. Just kidding! He probably just raised himself some army Ents. As you know, they are social ensects, and can thrive in one of those glass-sided Ent farms. That should do it. If you can answer these questions, then I agree that you remember the books remarkably well. About time you made that admission. (By the way, which books are we talking about?)

Re: [ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
Look, I read these books 39 years ago. I still remember them very well, thank you. I don't have to read them this year. Stop picking on me!

Last year to prepare for the first movie, I read the Hobbit and Fellowship. This year, I've read both Two Towers and Return of the King (I was going to wait until next year, but just couldn't leave Sam hanging there for an entire year. Won't say anything more so as not to give away the ending of this movie). // /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^
