I'd like to share an old memory or two with y'all ... Can't Post

Wayyyy back in 2002, a bunch of us got together for the Barliman's Bash in Seattle, Washington, USA. I took a lot of pix. I was just looking at them again, and wanted to show them to you. I got to know these people through the Barliman's chat room here on TORn, and if you go and hang out there, you too could wind up having this much fun some day!! :)

Also on this site (which is my real personal site, but hasn't been updated in forever) I have a whole lot of LOTR selections as ruined by the Google translator ...

Enjoy!

I guess it's actually a birthday mathom or two ... [In reply to] Can't Post

I missed the 10 minute edit/delete window ... anyways, it is indeed my birthday - March 15th - the day Aragorn shows up on the ships of the Corsairs to save the day on the Pelennor Fields!

I remember most of those nicks [In reply to] Can't Post

Brings back some memories.

Most of those people moved on from the TORn chat ages back. I stopped seeing lots of those nicks a few years ago. I know of a couple still chatting there and there are also a few of the ops from over the years who remain of course. It dropped off once the films were done and dusted more so. Mind you, I stopped opping and left the TORn server over a year ago now, and things have no doubt changed again! New nicks and people chatting I am sure. And chances are new people going to Bash this year :)

I hope those who you met at Bash, wherever they may have gone are happy and well.

Looks like a good time was had by all that year. Nice to see some familair faces anyways :) Thanks for sharing.

Have a (hope you had a [wioll haven be]) happy birthday! [In reply to] Can't Post

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father.

Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later aditions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.

  • Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony.

    Happy Birthday, luin!!! [In reply to] Can't Post

    I don't know what was more entertaining: the pics, or the filenames you gave the pics. Laugh It's great to put some new faces to names, and to see some well-loved and familiar faces too.

    Thanks and I hope your birthday was extra special! Smile

    "Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world."
