Hobbits are kool

“they backpack”

“In an earlier thread, many agreed Lord of the Rings was really a backpacking flick.. darn good one at that!”

“shoulda known. missed that one. you guys can lay out an incredible amount of thought. just couldn't watch it w/out thinking of TT.”

“The Journey Matters.

Remember, though, the hobbits were reluctant travelers!”

“they're like my wife. they just needed a little persuasion. can't win if u don't play.”

“Aw, go shave your feet.”

“does MSR make a teflon titanium cauldron”

“Wok this way...”

“crap. that's close. i was jokin.

“Hey, look what else. Quite a selection.”

“i gotta get in more.
i just got some new teflon. editors choice, you know the drill.
trashed my 1985 alum hand-me-down.
this new stuffs great. wipe and go, i love america (or made in tawain, whatever)”

“I've never seen that much titanium in one place!

Hobbits are kool - but I dig the eleves as well (as a taller person - I identify a little better).”

“perhaps thats why Ive been feeling a little orcish lately?

“bigcoop, elves don't sink in snow!
Doman- my first outs were w/alice packs and S-steel. hobbits just need to upgrade!”

“The second movie is coming out on my birthday!”

So true Pathman, but isn't that true for everyone. Bilbo was the true traveler and the one who started the whole adventure.

If people are the hobits of the world, than TT'ers are the Bilbo's of the world. We itch for the adventures of the trail.”

“if they would quit smokin they may get out more. maybe. worked for me.”

“Dangit it didn't work. Oh well.”

“i read about this. very interesting.”

“Tolkien didn't make it up, he only rediscovered Middle Earth and wrote about all the wonderful beings that existed before the reckoning of Man.”

“In case anyone doesn't know and wants too. The Return of the King Special Edition dvd comes out Dec 14. The box is blue and will have 50 min of extra footage not in the theatrical release. Yes people this makes it 4 1/2 long. Woo hoo! I hope they added the part were Mary and Pippen go back to the shire and kick ass.”

“Since we're supposedly the apex of this evolutionary tree, let's take a moment and...

thank all the little people that helped us get where we are today.”

“~GROAN!~”

“hehehehehehehehe”

“LNSTABBER: Sorry, you won't see the Cleansing of the Shire. I think Jackson said he didn't even film it.”

“you didn't ask my permission to talk Middle Earth. This is an unauthorized thread and you all must sit this one out.”

“i hate to be a stikmon, but wasnt it the scouring of the shire?”
