online kitchens vs. gothmog

i have been pretty impressed with the resiliency of online kitchens.... they keep cropping up on this board no matter how many times the modar might smite them.
what could be tougher than an online kitchen?
gothmog?

the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."
this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo

Due to determination, persistence, and the ever courageous "we shall not give in" attitude.
'There lie the woods of Lothlorien!' said Legolas. 'That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are no trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold.'

...think you may be correct, lothwen.
the stamina, the seeming imperviousness to pain, rejection, destruction.
online kitchens are scary.

A Gondor trebuchet launches an online kitchen at Gothmog, but he just steps aside. Then Gothmog uses it to cook Minas-trone soup using what's left of the Gondor prisoners. But the online kitchen is so contaminated by ancient spam, poisonous trolls, old trollbait, and porn that Gothmog and all his men get food poisoning and die.
******************************************
Brothers, sisters,
I was Elf once.
We danced together
Under the Two Trees.
We sang as the soft gold of Laurelin
And the bright silver of Telperion,
Brought forth the dawn of the world.
Then I was taken.
Brothers, sisters,
In my torment I kept faith,
And I waited.
But you never came.
And when I returned you drew sword,
And when I called your names you drew bow.
Was my Eldar beauty all,
And my soul nothing?
So be it.
I will return your hatred.
And I am hungry.

While still struggling to grasp an online kitchen without bothering to read the ad, I'm assuming it's real kitchen decor that is sold online. Assuming Aragorn buys a completely modern kitchen online, here's how the scenario plays out:
1. Gothmog is tempted to enter said kitchen by the cheery aroma of stewed hobbit feet.
2. He burns his hand on one of those burners that looks like a flat surface rather than a coil or flame.
3. He slips and falls on the newly linoleumed floor.
4. In anger he hacks at the countertop, but it's granite and not only shatters his sword, it sends shards into his eyes.
5. The icemaker gets possessed by the same spirit of Caradhras and buries him in a blizzard of crippling snow and ice.
6. The dishwasher goes haywire and flings pots and pans everywhere like bomb shrapnel and ruins his mother's antique china.
7. The cupboards pop open, and cram rains down on him like cannonballs.
THE END

The kitchen wins! Not only are all the knives found there...

But an online kitchen also contains many other weird and wonderful appliances that you can only find online. Plus, they're all perfect for destorying Orcs. There's:
- Doorless microwaves
- Turkey baster/home enema kits
- Orc compactors
- Knife floor tiles
- Fairy washing up bombs
- Sucking ceiling fans
I'd like to see Gothmog survive that.

I see a twisted writhing earth, which at Morgoth's command spews up the picture at hand on the Black IPad - the Online Kitchen is called forth. Matching oven mitts are brought by Orcs as tribute. Morgoth is pleased, and a great work is begun. Gothmog is consumed with jealousy and is poised to strike down the Kitchen in wrath and flame when Morgoth steps out for fat free cooking spray. Silently Morgoth returns just in time...Grond speaks once and Gothmog falls. Never would Morgoth allow any hurt to come to the convection oven, that which held the Silmarils in the even-baking eternal glory.
Ding. Muffins are done. Morgoth rejoices. The Kitchen stands triumphant above the body of Gothmog its enemy.

I'm a little disturbed that Morgoth was the hero (you subversive mynx), but at least one bad guy lost in the fight, and even better, now we know how to make homemade Silmarils. I'm going to put some cinnamon and chocolate in mine; that pure vanilla Feanor version was so dull. And you can always add more glitter to their icing to liven them up.

Ah, the Silmaril recipe itself wasn't in the introductory cookbook subscription. You need to order the upgraded version, with the Mithril cover. It's quite spendy.
As for the baked goods - shall we call them Sillamuffins? Almost compulsory to eat one when wearing the Nauglamuffin. Of course once the Silmarils are separated, into Earth, Water and Air, we shall not have them again until after the world is Remade. (There is the one available, true, but I don't see Earandil as much of a baker. Those sailor-types just sort of eat and run. Plus baking with only one Silmaril you don't get a good crisp on top.)
Perhaps with the renewal of the world, the Kitchen will inexorably rise again (as it does on our site), along with the willow-meads of Tasarinan...and the Convection Oven will glow with light again.
(I may have to use 'Subversive Mynx' as second nick. It's so catchy!) Added: maybe a tattoo of that as well, right next to '#131'.

the pilot light is a teeny, teeny, teeny eye of sauron on top of a teeny, teeny, teeny tower.
man, that oven just worked like gangbusters. i had it for three ages, but then the pilot light went out when frodo destroyed the one ring, and it hasn't worked since.
