In the universe of Robert Heinlien...fiction becomes reality, when it is written...why is that such a hard concept to grasp?

What the hell are you talking about? Michael Valentine Smith is walking the earth now? Jubal Harshaw is practicing medicine? There's a colony on the moon?

Dimensional distortions are a regular experience and there are numerous catalogings that substantiate my beliefs.

What the hell are you talking about? Please provide substantiation.

but to me, Tolkiens world IS the natural world, as it once was, and should still be

What the hell are you talking about? That there were orcs and cave trolls and balrogs and rings of power and elves, dwarves, and hobbits? Where are they in the fossil record? Where are the archaelogical ruins?

What IF, in the course of Tolkiens research, he did stumble across some unknown and long forgotten mythology of britian?

What the hell are you talking about? First, Middle Earth is the true natural world, and now it's a forgotten mythology that was discovered by an English professor? Which is it?

Look, I know you're not lacking intelligence. However, I'm having a difficult time determining what exactly is going on in your mind. Are your beliefs akin to a christian's belief in biblical myths? Are you clinically delusional? Are you just having fun role playing? What?

I don't think I've seen Mutt this dumb founded before. This is really sending ya fer a loop, eh Mutt?

I think he's just having some fun and means no harm. Now, if/when he starts dressing up and going to the Renisance Fesitvals........

Yeah, the "having fun role playing" was my most likely scenario as well. But stikmon is truly strange, so you never know...

stiky, I have proof that all of it's real. I have a picture of chili, the great Dunadan, and me under a sign that says, "Mirkwood, don't play with spiders" We came across it in the Ozarks. I'm emailing the pic to you

Oh well, it's a big file. I just added it to my webshots account under a folder named "Trail Talk". I'd do a link, but recent updates aren't available for about 30 minutes.

I love Tom Bombadil! That was one of my favorite scenes in the book. When they meet Tom Bombadil - and of course, when they meet up with the Ents. Don't they eat a nice hot bowl of good mush or something?


hmmm... very interesting thread...

they are going over the sea...
to the undying lands of Valinor.

and NO, Galdalf does not die he is a Maia. And is not mortal, nor elf kind.

and Mutt...go swing in a tree and beat your chest...mutt of the jungle...

BROTHER, but you need some fun in your life. go find some and stay out of mine.

So you ARE delusional then. Go ahead and cling on to an adolescent fantasy then, if that makes you feel important. Far be it from me to drag you kicking and screaming back to reality.
Mutt

yeah....I'm delusional...
and the other 30 million fans are too! and all the scholars that study this and all the colleges that offer courses in it...yeah...I'm delusional. Maybe ONE day, you'll wake up and find out that YOUR universe is not exactly what it seems to be, and that it really sucks to be YOU!

Whatnever...your hopeless and not worth the bantering.

There's a difference between being a fan - and a devoted fan - like myself and being a nutsoid who believes it's real. That there's college courses on it reveals it's a work of literary genius - not that it's reality.

I used to work in a small store that sold a few Star Trek items. We'd get the trekkies in there, let me tell you! There was one chick who used to come in dressed in her Starfleet uniform. Weird.

Like I told a friend once, some of these people's lives suck so bad they have to believe in an alternate reality where they are somebody. What they fail to realize is, if they're a fast food worker or a ditchdigger in this world, in the Star Trek world they'd probably be a warp coil cleaner or work at some other low-paid, menial job.

Stikmon, bitpusher just insulted you to higher degree than I have. Is he going to receive some of your wrath?

In the Two Towers when the Ents were marching off to kick some azz, am I the only one who stood up and yelled, “Run forest! Run!”?

I think that if those guys on the wall would have had a few M-60 machine guns it would have made things go alot better for them. But the best thing would have been a recoiless rifle with flachette rounds.

You couldn't crit double ought me if your life depended on it even with loaded dice! Unless of course you happen to have a vorpal blade and in that case I would humbly pick my head up off the ground and apologize.

Yeah, I was a geek.
