What a dead week. I've been scrounging around the forum for two hours trying to find enough material for a full Friday post, finally gave up. It was the deadest week since last years Christmas week LOL. I did throw in a couple of quotes though:

We found out the hideous fate of Buda's pet avocado.
We ate half of him (not the face side) the other day with home made pizzas and then I ate the face half of him the other night with salt, pepper and a spoon.
RIP little one!
Jade posted a long post about moving servers but then at the end she shared this little gem of information making myself and everyone else I'm sure wonder, "Why on holidays?"
That and the sewers are smelly in the neighborhood so my house constantly smells like someone farted. blech. Happens most holidays, which is why I was planning to spend most my weekend elsewheres.
**holding her nose***
And last but not least, Elendil711 dropped in from middle earth on christmas eve and gave this detailed and accurate answer to a three year old thread:
Ok there is alot to tell here:
1. Why did both Frodo and Bilbo leave on the last elven ship? Did it have
something to do with them being ring bearers?
Yes. They had both been warped by the Ring, and as ring-bearers and elf-friends they were allowed to sail to Valinor to heal their pains.
2. Did the Ents ever find the ent-wives?
Not for a very long time. Tolkien had Treebeard say in the book: "It is foretold that we shall only meet again after we have both lost all that we have"
3. Why did Gandalf leave...though his task was finished, does this mean then there is a lesser presence of magic and magical beings on middle earth?
In the movie sense..........No. There were Five Wizards. Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey, Radagast the Brown, and Alatar and Pallando the Blue. The last three did not leave Middle-Earth.
4. Who moved into the elves's abandoned cities?
No-one.
5. What became of the dwarves?
It doesn't exactly say. they kind of slowly began retreating into the mountains, until men made legends of them.
6. What was the North Kingdom that Aragorn spoke of? Why and when did it fall, and by who?
O goody. Arnor, the sister-realm to Gondor. Where as Isildur and Anarion (his brother) ruled over Gondor. Elendil himself ruled a kingdom in the North called Arnor. As you know, after the war Isildur instructed his nephew Meneldil in the ruling of Gondor, then left to take up his father's crown in Arnor. But the idiot got shot. Isildur's squire escaped to Rivendell with the shards of Narsil, and Isildur's young son Valandil had remained there because he was too young.
Right then. for about 12 more kings Arnor was united, then after the 12'th king there was a squabble between his three sons so they cut Arnor into 3 pieces:Arthedain, Cardolan, and Rhudaur. Then suddenly Sauron woke up. Not wanting to wait, he sent the Witch-King north. Thats where he got his name.
The Witch-King of Angmar. He established the evil city of Carn Dum and the Witch-realm of Angmar anf for 500 years made war against the Dunedain of Arnor(this means the ones with Numenorean blood) There had never been very many Dunedain in Rhudaur, and some were slain but some joined the Witch-King. then blah, blah, blah eventually the Witch-King had conquered Cardolan and drove most of the Dunedain out of Arthedain. The Last king of Arnor, Arvedui (which literally means last-king, for a wise seer spoke to his father and said: "Arvedui you shall name him, for he shall be the last in Arthedain" Then he sent for help from Gondor, but too late, he fled to the snowy land of Forochel. Cirdan learned of this and sent a ship to get him back. There in that icy land live the Lossoth or "Snowmen". They sheltered him until the mariners arrive but they said "Do not board this sea-monster now, if they have them let the sea-men bring us food and supplies and you can stay here until the Witch-King goes home. For in winter his arm is long and his breath is chill but in summer his power is lessened". But Arvedui thanked them and left. Yet their counsel was good, for there was a great storm and their ship was broken and Arvedui drowned along with 2 palantir.
Then the navy of Gondor arrived, and they, together with Elves from Rivendell beat the Witch-King's ass and destroyed Angmar. Then Arvedui's son came out and gathered what was left of the Dunedain together, and they became the Rangers, and the Heirs of Isildur the "Chieftains of the Dunedain" all the way up to our friend, Aragorn Elessar.

MEMEMEMEMMEMEMME!!! I have 4 days off and a butt load of fireworks! I get to get drunk and blow up my neighbors!

don't hate on circus peanuts.
I mean, sure, they taste like orange flavored foam, but what's wrong with that, really?
Morea, thank God I'm not the only one. I love those things and most people think I'm a deranged nutcase for eating them. (I'm not denying that I'm a deranged nutcase, but it's not because I like circus peanuts ...)
