I don't even know to respond to this. Moose Drool is clearly the modern day equivalent of the ancient Greek's "nectar of the gods". Like Parrot says, anybody who sees this differently has clearly been going a little too heavy on the Kai-yen peppa.
Nenya- Grizzlies? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Galadhwen- I suspect that much of the inconsistency regarding the
Nazgul stems from the fact that JRRT did not have a clear feeling for who they were when he originally wrote the story up till
Rivendell. Later on, when he 'realized' that
the Black Riders were in fact the
Kings of
Men whom
Sauron had enslaved with
Rings of Power back in the
second age,
Tolkien did not go back and completely re-write the opening bit. Because of this we have one Nazgul battering down the gates of
Minas Tirith late in the story, and another Nazgul coming within a few feet of
Frodo earlier in the story and then just wondering off (No wonder Sauron was mad at them).
Dgoeij- read UT (whenever you find it), it has some fantastic stories, with the 'Hunt for
the Ring' just being one of them. I think we agree that there is no true answer here, but that shouldn't stop us from making up our own minds as to who did it.
Abe Lincoln was one of our first presidents to be celebrated for a truly 'modest' (i.e. poor) upbringing. One manifestation of this was a series of common sense sayings he'd used to spout, one of the most famous being "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". I thought this fit in well with the Nazgul thread, so I threw it in.
