We're watching LOTR: Return of the King. We watched the first two movies (the extended director's cut, thank you very much) earlier this week.

I watched the first movie. Never got to the others. Love the books, but did not get into the movies.

All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are oft saved from the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall sing
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless shall once more be king

(Snap quiz - what character said this?)

Each person in the Shire is something towards to aspire

You're getting to be a hobbit with me

Let me symbolically praise the English yeomanry

You're getting to be a hobbit with me

I used to think that your appetite just meant you liked to eat

But now I must admit that I delight in your furry feet

It began as a fling, but I must make you my Halfling

As devoted as was Frodo's Sam Gamgee

You must slake my desire that's as big as all the Shire

You're getting to be a hobbit with me

No doubt about it

You're getting to be a hobbit with me

Or, if you prefer the Rolling Stones:

I got nasty hobbits

They’re on a quest with me

Got to throw away the Ring to

Keep Middle Earth free

Trying to avoid the gaze of

Mordor’s evil lord

Only friend I really trust is

This old Elvish sword—

Come on now, fellows!

Bilbo wrote a song to sing

Maybe that’s why they call us the

Fellowship of the Ring…

Bilbo writes it for "Strider" (Aragorn), who quotes it to Frodo.

Is that before or after Frodo gets "whacked" while fishing on Lake Tahoe, and reciting the "Hail Mary"?

Sorry, you're confusing Frodo with the brother of the governor of New York.

I'm so glad I haven't watched an NFL game this year.

NFL honors Dreasjon ‘Sean’ Reed, 21-year-old fatally shot by IMPD

This NFL honoree livestream himself driving down the street shooting at peoples homes. Then livestreamed himself running from cops then shooting at them... before he got dropped by cops.

I wonder what will happen when pro sports ratings drop so far they can't pay the inflated salaries.

That will be coming in a year or 2.
