...of all who love them most, for a merry night indeed. I do not know the deceased, but I'm sure they must fare well, after filling so many hearts with joy and love.
Life is beautiful and dangerous! Beware! Enjoy!

And to you Altaira, and all the members current and past of the discussion boards! It's been a fantastic ride and it's wonderful beyond words to see this little fan project of a website mark its 10th anniversary.
On a side note, it's the 25th here and Anzac Day. I got up for the dawn service and drove home to a beautiful sunrise turning the cloud cover orange. And then slept for another couple of hours - 5am starts on Saturdays aren't my usual schedule.
Happy day, all!

The first time I ever hosted a dream-party was on a Tolkien site (the now-defunct official New Line Cinema site, which had no protection from spam or trolls and eventually died of neglect) I expected a night of fun dreams and came back with a life-changing experience (in a dream about Lorien.) In a good way.
So, anybody who's willing, watch your dreams tonight. Go to sleep with a special intention of dreaming your way into the TORn party/Middle Earth, leave this as the last thing on your mind as your head settles into your pillow, relax, and see what happens. Report here in the morning if anything Tolkienish or TORnish happens.
Life is beautiful and dangerous! Beware! Enjoy!

Was just trying to be funny, and I guess failing. Xoanon got to do a couple of things I didn't, but TORn and the people I have come to know through TORn have completely changed my life.

And all I got was a bunch of t-shirts ;)
I know I own just about all the shirts TORn ever put out, and my drawers are full, full, full of some very silly shirts.

TORn is great place to read and share everything Tolkien. I have learned so much more about the books and films since I joined. I have particulary enjoyed the excitement over The Hobbit. I get a little adrenaline rush every time I think about how brilliant the film is going to be. When I first trailer is released I think I may burst with excitement!!!!!!!!!! Here's to the next few years of speculation, intrigued, rabidity(?), and hyperventilation!!!

I'll be hard at work editing a promotional video this weekend, as I have to get it done before I venture to New York on Wednesday.  I didn't get a chance to say earlier, but just in case, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy weekend, and hope that the Anniversary bash turns out to be a great success! Drinks are on me fellas. Afterall, there's never a limit to computer coin, right? 
Happy weekend and anniversary to all!

pull his pants up real high (like to the armpits). My wife said she would leave if I ever did that again. So I have been on the high-pants wagon a good 20 years now. You know I wouldn't suggest this to everyone, but in my family growing up, the women, as needed, would hit the men (or boys) on the head with a wooden spoon. Just a quick sharp whack & it hurts like heck. Now my grandmother did bury a fork in my Dad's arm once. But he was really pushing her over the edge, supposedly and she was sorry afterwards.

thank you to all the staffers here for their dedication and hard work.....many happy Returns of the Torn! May you be around for at least another Age...and, of course, may the hair on your toes NEVER fall out! (and may your birthday hangovers be of no more consequence than Stone-trolls in sunlight! )

I don't know that I've every gotten physical. Well, I kicked him once when he was tickling me on the couch but that was a reflex action. :D
But I can dish it out verbally in a variety of ways with the best of them. I'm quite formidable when pushed too far.
Living in a family of three men (two grown sons + husband), I try to allow for some testosterone to permeate the place. It helps that they're all geeks not jocks. So I'm actually kind of interested in a lot of the stuff they do (like build and pilot 385 lb combat robots). But pretty much... I gotta say, Mama rules. (Can you tell I'm a first child?)

as who really rules the castle. We have a saying that when Mom is unhappy, everyone is unhappy. I also found the saying 'sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me' to be totally wrong. And the 'First Born' thing as well... I heard a comedian say when he boarded a plane (in the old pre-911 days) he used to poke his head in the cockpit and say "So how are you First-Borns doing today ?". When I heard that I happened to be working entirely with aircrews (military) and the next morning polled the 6-7 there when I got to work. It was like all but one were First-Borns. I was a middle-kid. I don't know what that is supposed to mean.
