I'm such a geek

[Tobus]

What's funny is that for our 10th wedding anniversary, my wife and I got matching "posey" rings in (Irish) Gaelic that say "le mo ghrása mise agus liomsa mo ghrá". When people comment on them, they always ask if they are from Lord of the Rings.

So you're the one who has my ring.

Don't be surprised when these nine guys all dressed in black come to visit you.

"I cannot make out the words," said Frito.
"No, you cannot," said Goodgulf. "They are Elvish, in the tongue of Fordor. A rough translation is:

"This ring, no other, is made by the elves,
Who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves.
Ruler of creeper, mortal and scallop,
This is a sleeper that packs quite a whallop.
The Power almighty rests in this Lone Ring.
The Power, alrighty, for doing your own thing.
If broken or busted, it cannot be remade
If found, send to Sorhed (the postage is prepaid)."

Bored Of The Rings, anyone?

Aw, see? You try and do something nice...

OK I will admit I'm a major geek and my wife knew that she would be dragged to the movies. In cases like this my wife will read the novels to know what is going on. She worked her way through them and came up to me and said -

"I can sum up this epic series in four sentences:"

They came. They sang. He tripped. They won.

"Are you telling me this epic clash between good and evil was won because the bad guy tripped."

I was at first horrified that she would dismiss one of the greatest works I had read but the more I though about it the more I needed a drink.

See, it's not what you tell about, it's how you tell it.

I would like to proudly point out that in 77, or 78 -Ralph Bakshi did an animated Lord of the Rings which my mother took me to see (Being a LoD fan from the 60's!!!). The Hobbit had come out a short time before which my Mom took me to see (Which I loved), but when I saw LoD-I was blown away. 7 years old and for the rest of my life I was an a geek fan (This event started my love affair with fantasy and sci-fi).....OK....I've said to much. Great post!
