Well, this puts a new spin on how the Rohirrim patrolled the Mark

I'm picturing them riding the orca in the Anduin itself...
(One of the questions in a general knowledge quiz on stuff.co.nz.)
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Eomer: What business does an Elf, Man, and a Dwarf have in the Seaworldpark? Speak quickly.

Gandalf: Ride, Shamufax!

OK I'm done.
***
Eru Ilúvatar lived in a timeless state,
Then he created the Ainur to sing his magnum opus. Wait….
The one who had most power,
Melkor, sang his section sour,
Ilúvatar got rather dour,
He sang Eä! (he let the Ainur in).
Melkor, in jealousy, he sought to mar the symphony
That all started with the first word. (BANG!)

Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories.

Q. What do you get if you cross an oliphaunt with an orca?
A. A submarine with a built-in snorkel.

"Frito stared thoughtfully into the sediment of fish hooks and the frothy head of ground glass on his Orca-Cola. Making sure no one was watching, he cautiously took the glass over to the large potted palm nearby, which accepted it and placed it carefully on the floor. His suspicions now fully aroused, Frito edged from the booth, careful not to disturb the decorative listening tube placed in the center of the plastic floral arrangement."
Bored of the Rings did it first!

******************************************
That hobbit has a pleasant face,
His private life is a disgrace.
I really could not tell to you,
The awful things that hobbits do.
Things that your paper never prints
They only speak of them in hints.
They have such lost, degraded souls,
No wonder they inhabit holes;
When such depravity is found,
It only can live underground.
I really dare not name to you,
The awful things that hobbits do.

Start watching about 3 min. into the video.
Apparently this scene had to be taken many times as the grim  'Russian' standing to the right of Sellers couldn't stop laughing.
It's hard to take your eyes off Sellers in this final take - but watch the Russian closely and you'll see him trying Sooo hard to remain grim, and failing, as he nearly loses it. . . again.
