LOTR Caption Contest: CVIII Edition Can't Post

Thank you, Belegdir, for choosing my caption. Smile It's been a while since I have participated, so I was very pleasantly surprised to have my entry chosen.
So, without further ado, I give you Caption Contest 108. (Special thanks to Altaira for her technical advice which enabled me to post the picture myself. Smile)



You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round

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.

Who, me? [In reply to] Can't Post

It was supposed to be just a joke, and here I end up being nominated... Shocked


Thank you very much! It will force me out of my semi-retirement; and who knows? I might find the energy to return to the RR.

Thanks, zarabia! Now I need to hunt for an image for the next round.
