Daily Dose Of Tolkien Geekery

Since Robbo is off putting flowers in his hair, I'll link to today's (actually yesterday's) chapter of LOTR as presented by Gary, the ex-donkey Tolkien geek par excellance.

I present it without Robert's usual commentary, except to say this; it warms my heart to see that civil rights in this nation have advanced to the point that Star Wars geeks and Tolkien geeks no longer must drink from separate fountains.

I have a dream
That one day, geeks will not be judged by their costumes at the conventions
But by the content of the characters they wish they could be.

UPDATE:

An anonymous commenter asks a vital question:

"What's a 'Tolkein'?"

Thank you, He Who Should Not Be Named, for that inquisitive nature of yours. However, I cannot answer, for I too have no idea what a "Tolkein" is.

I only know Tolkien.

But, if you simply must know, he's the guy that wrote that little read book that became that OTHER famous movie trilogy.
