The Lord of the Pants
The Lord of the Pants
I thought it might be fun to start a Pants thread, based on Tolkien's work.
The idea is simple, take a quote from any Tolkien book and replace one word with "pants"
I'll start:
He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast pants that lay in wait.

'Yes, I have brought you your two treasures. They were found on Sam when you were rescued. The Lady Galadriel's gifts: your glass, Frodo, and your pants, Sam. You will be glad to have these safe again.'
“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.”

I beg your pardon. I haven't asked for anything!
Yes, you have. Twice now. My pants. I give it to you. Very amusing for me, very good for you -

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers
“I wish it need not have happened in my pants,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such pants. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the pants that is given us.”

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose pants were fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea
To me it would not seem that a Steward who faithfully surrenders his pants is diminished in love or in honour.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Vison took mine . But I suppose it (and River's) are movie quotes. [It was 'save' rather than 'protect' in the original.]
You are all very silly.
Oh, right, I should add one....
The Celegorm arose amid the throng, and drawing his sword he cried: 'Be he friend or foe, whether demon of Morgoth, or Elf, or child of Men, or any other living thing in Arda, neither law, nor love, nor league of hell, nor might of the Valar, nor any power of wizardry, shall defend him from the pursuing hate of Fëanor's sons, if he take or find any pants and keep them. For the pants we alone claim, until the world ends!'
