Actually, I've come to expect that the more bizarre your story/claim, the higher the likelihood of it being true is. Science is cool.
Well, uh, a Canadian, a Puerto Rican, and a Finn walk into a bar and, er... sorry, I'm all out. But I still think there's a business concept here somewhere. Maybe if your beer was so exclusive and rare, each bottling its own unique flavor, that you'd charge exorbitant prices for it? Like just now; green tea snot beer: it has all the health benefits of green tea, all the EGCG, catechins, and amino acids you need combined with the fun of beer! And the... texture of snot? We gotta work on that last selling point. Btw, what would happen if you snorted beer after drinking beer? Would it be like dividing by zero? Or would it cause a gravitational collapse and create a foam hole?
This, sadly, is exactly what would happen. But even sans the ring, I would still make the journey because of obligation. I can walk and read at the same time, too, so the books and booze would come in handy. Also, I love this thread.
Aye, but we'd have Sauron so flummoxed, discombobulated and bebothered, he'd end up dribbling in a corner and eating his suspenders...
Seriously though, who wouldn't be terrified of an angry wolf charging, and quoting from ancient epics? 'Be still, O heart! You have known worse than this! Like facing @GingerCoffee and @Lewdog in debate!
Ok the Eagle thing is explained...sort of. http://periannath.com/feature/why-doesnt-frodo-just-ride-an-eagle-to-mount-doom/ Adit: Face GingerCoffee! I can use a search engine just fine TYVM!
yikes! i was just thanking my lucky stars no one was crazy enough to draft me, when i came to these: ...i've no clue what you're all talking about, or what the whatever-it-is needs to be have done to/for it for whatever reason, but this ol' great-grandma just ain't up to no deeds of derring-do no more, kids!... the spirit mighta been willin' but the curent over-abundance o' flesh now lacks the requisite 'muscle'... ...so, carry on, all you other draftees... evoe! [try to stay reasonably sober]
Holy crap. So does that mean y'all think I'd be most likely to give the finger for you? Or perhaps that I'd seek out the greatest ash hole in the land and put the ring where the sun don't shine? Yikes.
