How do you think it got that way in the first place? :D

I wouldn't say "corrupted". Let's just say you inspired my natural silliness. :)

(Goldberry got a really good laugh out of my yodeling kayaker by the way. :D )

Just what "they" are we talking about? :suspicious:

They are right by the way. Incorruptible and incorrigible. ;)

Hey, I got a huge laugh out of your yodeling kayaker.

Did I not say so? Then I think I need to trout myself. :salmon:

The next time my folks are off kiyoodling, I'll know what to envision. :D (Last January they kiyoodled to Antarctica. . . .)
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Gimli told me that it was just a model.

RICHARD TAYLOR

That's not just any model, Meriadoc. That's a bigature! During the production of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Weta Workshop made 48,000 separate items including an incredible 1200 suits of armour, 2000 weapons, 68 miniatures, 10,000 arrows and some 1800 body and prosthetic suits...blah, blah, blah...Models up to 1.5 metres tall were sculpted, and using a hand-held laser scanner (one that was actually developed for scanning carcasses by the NZ Meat Board), the models were captured in 'real-time' at mega-high resolution. This created a detailed form guideline which the animators used for building up characters...blah, blah, blah...
