Wow, glass gem corn actually looks pretty incredible, like a glass marble mosaic. Apparently it still tastes pretty good, too.
I don’t have any Tolkien facts, but I’ve been reading the Silmarillion lately. I’m surprised nobody (especially Peter Jackson) has tried to make a film out of it, or at least the Beren and Luthien story.
Hi, Folks. Here’s something to start your week with. Have a good one!
A big rig trucker was eating in a diner one day when three tough looking dudes roared up on motorcycles and stomped inside. One of them spit in the trucker’s milk. Another grabbed the trucker’s dinner and stuffed it in his face. And the third one yelled, “You wanna piece of this? Huh? HUH?” Slowly and calmly, the trucker got up and walked out. Bummed out at not being able to pick a fight, the three tough guys sat down and yelled for the waitress. As they’re ordering, one of them says, “Man, that trucker dude was a wimp. Didn’t even do anything about it when we ruined his meal!” The waitress looks outside and says “Yeah, and he’s not that good of a driver, either! He just backed over three motorcycles!”
And Strider was originally an unusually tall Hobbit named Trotter. In the early chapters, Tolkien thought he was writing a children’s book, and really had no idea where it was going to end up.

Frodo was acting almost like a little old man in the LOTR movie. He should have been playing bingo!

“Bingo Lives”. Just doesn’t have the same feel.

I’ll bet he learned that Frog Fact while getting his PhD in Herpetology.

I guess the LOTR folks grew weary of giving white elephants to those who incessantly and enthusiastically shouted “Bingo!” when ever they saw him.
Take care, may famed and beloved performer Kermit “You’re All Talking To The Hand” the Frogord be with you, and gesundheit.

That begs the question: Are you talking about Tolkien’s original draft or Jackson’s?
