I remember watching that part going "Huh?" I only watch those movies for the battle sequences, because they are fun. But the part I really hate is when Gollum frames Sam and Frodo believes him. I mean seriously? Way to mess that relationship up, thanks filmmakers.

But, yeah, agreed on the Flaming Denethor thing. What were they thinking?

(on an almost completely different note: the Princess Bride Movie does capture the spirit of the book brilliantly!)

Because Meir Brin said so.

It's just tradition: Whomever encounters minis in a fandom first gets to decide how they manifest themselves. Sorry, you were looking for logic? ;)

Arthropods are the big group of animals that includes insects, spiders, centipedes, crabs (giant enemy or otherwise), barnacles and the long-dead trilobites. Basically, everything with a hard outside and no bones inside.

I started using that as my signature gift when I first started because I had just finished a college course on invertebrate animals. But since it seems to keep confusing people, I guess I should switch to something else...

And yes, freakish digital llamas are fun to develop!

...what in the world is an arthropod? XD

Thanks for the llama badge. One day...I shall have a super albino llama!

Nice to meet you! =3

Well, as they always say....it's best to start at the beginning. Hope you like it.

But not THAT one....Oh, who am I kidding. I am THAT Keily. ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome! And the gifts!

By weirdest building, do you mean EMP?

I'm totally there, though. I mean, honestly, it's just a ferry ride away. :D Huzzah.

Let there be dancing in the streets and drinking Bleepka in the saloons! I only joined the PPC this year, but I welcome any chance to celebrate good news.

I'm a newbie, so you won't know me. But it's always good to meet someone new, especially a fellow supporter of good writing.

So, help yourself to a venomous arthropod and an unpublished novel! (There's also a llama badge waiting for you at deviantART.)

Not being a fan of the movie versions of books, especially not Lord of the Rings, it wasn't until I saw Flaming Denethor referenced too many times on the PPC wiki that I watched this scene (on YouTube).

I'm mystified.

How can anyone have thought that was a good idea?

On top of that, the uploader of this video gave us a genius explanation of why the Witch King could defeat Gandalf. I will share:

Sauron>Gandalf
Sauron gives strength to a mortal so...
Witch King>Gandalf

I'm not even sure there's a name for that logical fallacy. Making a part the same as a whole, maybe? Or just total and complete lack of logic?

I joined the ranks of various other people in explaining why this is wrong.

But whenever I decide I hate Peter Jackson, I go back to the animated version. The animated RotK is even WORSE than the first-part-of-the-trilogy movie I watched a while back (and I quit that when I realized that Boromir was a Viking). It makes me want Bleeprin.

It's life-size. And fluffy. Makes for a good pillow, bed, or house, depending on your preference.

Lovely to meet you! I only joined the Board in late 2007, so I don't think we ever met, but so what? Hello! :)

"Moderator" is accurate enough for chatrooms. Also, I'm not comfortable with putting authority figures everywhere - where it's necessary, yes, such as giving Permission, but this is still a community, and we're supposed to all be more or less equal.

That said, July does seem to be the moderator of the chat room regardless of whether she has a title or not, and I'm fine with that.

Just that we don't seem to have any agents around who are drunk all the time.

*bowage to the Returning Oldbie* You have my respect for being such an oldbie, o adorer of vegetation.

:P

Now I've got the required awe and respect out of the way, here, have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object as a welcome-back gift! They're good for distracting Sues, and even oneself!

Feed it only Generic Meat and some Honey.

Trojie is in London from this Saturday, but is likely to be very busy with SRS Sciencey Conference. On the third, she and I are in London until 5pm. She's then in Hull with Ansela and me until the 10th, at which point she flies to Ireland.

If anyone else is reading, we could do with someone for London too - all we've got for those four spare hours is going to a tobacconist in Covent Garden for my dad.

My name is Barid, but mostly I go by Barid (no relation to Agent Barid).

I am also a fan of anime, videogames and music. I will have to look over your LoZ comic, as that is one of my favorite videogame series of all time.

...we still technically are. Technically.

OMG! Panda! It shall join my growing zoo!

Haven't seen you around the internets in a while. I remember when you and Kiwi were working on Red's Tales. :D

Anyways, here's a panda that eats, shoots and leaves (for all your grammatical needs).

I didn't even know we had a wiki. O_o; And that I had my own small mention in it.

Whoo! I was remembered! =D

Nice to meet you, too!

Yup, looks like a match.

Good to see/meet you. ;)

You have missed much going on over here.
