The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

Apologies for introducing a "non-joking" subject here, but I'll point out that there's another bit of "applicability" in that meme: the original photo was done for the sleeve for "The Unknown Soldier" 45, The Doors protest song from 1968:

And was meant to suggest crucifixion imagery. Both images have been applied to Frodo's role in LOTR.

On a personal note, I had that 45, and you sparked a memory from that time: a friend being drafted into the army, coming over to say goodbye, and playing that song over and over.

He survived, fortunately. Many didn’t.

Thanks for the information, that's really interesting! I love to learn the backstory from music and fun facts about albums like that. I'm glad your friend survived.

EA, in a year or two:

Snacks are less of a problem, from rumors I've heard (except perhaps for loudness).
Spoon-feeding mushy baby stuff, spinach very high on the list ...
But if you keep your face-protection screens from the current crisis, you should at least still be able to see ... mostly ...

Yesterday, I ate a clock.
It was very time-consuming.
Then... I went back for seconds.
