The Hall of Fire

Ath, it is one of the mysteries of life. The great songs are separated by a minute or so of strange Flintstones dialogue about their trip to New Rock City for Christmas. Tres bizarre! But the songs are great. I share your wonder about the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet. I can't imagine it, but I still...

Thanks for sharing that, sf. I suspect that most of the people that liked LOTR will like Kong, and that most of the people that were put off by Jackson's excesses in those films will be even more put off by them here. I for one am greatly looking for to it. I am quite curious about the music, and ho...

Even I have a favorite Christmas Album: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/Voronwe_the_Faithful/0c_1.jpg Jingle Bells (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Diana Ross & Supremes) Frosty the Snowman (Jackson 5) Silent Night (The Temptations) The Little Drummer Boy...

Faramond, that's beautiful.

Alas, this is not a gift that I share. But I would also love to see more nature poetry, in English or in other languages.

Hey satch! Hey again duffster.

Astonishing, yes. And beautiful.

To be honest, I don't know where that picture is from. I Googled it so fast, I didn't even stop to see. Maybe I'll try to figure it out later.

Rowan! How nice to see you!

The name "Cheetah" does not appear in any of Edgar Rice Burroughs' books. And with that, in order to prevent this from turning into a chat thread (which no one wants), I'll have to post another picture: http://www.neiu.edu/~ncaftori/falls/rainbow-again.jpg That is not to say that there sho...

Queen Beruthiel!!!!!!!!!!111

Are all of my wishes going to come true?

Jeanelf, a great big and welcome to you.

tinwë, what can I say? That is horrible. If you come to the Parlour, I'm sure that we can hook you up with some absinthe, or maybe some nice hot apple cider with a generous dose of the fine Venenzuelan rum?

I think you are getting that from Tarzan movies, which by the way are gross distortions of Edgar Rice Burroughs books.

Hobby, ask away!

As for having an additional discussion about Fëanor to investigate his character and motives, I think some of those thoughts could be explored in the Shibboleth of Fëanor thread that I started.

Why, Frelga, I never would have guessed that you would say something like that.

Hobby, the cat that I posted IS a Cheetah, not a Leopard. Its a completely different animal. Cheetahs are the fastest known land animal. They have a very unique physiology, very different from other big cats.

I can handle Pearl. I like Pearl. I'm just not used to it. Give it time.

Welcome, Drogo!

How embarrassing.

Sorry Scribbles. I can't type. But at least I enticed you out of the corner. Or maybe it was the cheese dip?

Me too.

Something a little different today. I'm not sure what they did to this photo, but I like. It was taken about six miles from where I live.

Welcome, Padme. Glad to have you here by any name. Welcome SilverScripe. I hope you will come out of the corner soon. Welcome, Tosh. Please feel free to do all the poking around that you want. Welcome, Bornilon. So glad you could make it. Pearl, may I share this happy dance with you? Although I will...

Faramond, your post was amazingly responsive to those things that I meant to say with that post but did not specifically lay out. I actually was going to go back and try to edit the post before we opened to try to bring some of thoughts more to the surface, but I did not get a chance to do so. And i...

Impy, please!!!!!!!!

Ath no need to apology - I was the one that brought the Sil into the discussion, but after all, the title of this thread is The Moral Universe of Middle-earth. The Sil is part of that world. ;) But recently, I have also been musing on the "fall" of Thingol: how did it happen that one so &q...
