I can barely throw but can get some excellent distance with those things. My sister's Lab loves it.

This has been making me happy for days. (I'm easily entertained.)

If The Hobbit were going to feature a (relatively) young Sauron, pre-disincorporation, this would be a cool concept sketch. However, I seem to recall that Sauron lost his body around the time Númenor fell, so ... not so much. Damn.

I used Twitter too. No problems. Fortunately.

Good lord, I hope you're right.

Fingers crossed. If Ridley Scott can't pull it off ...
