if I had a nickel for every time Alan Silvestri wrote a "Tunnel Chase" piece I'd have 15 cents, which isn't much but it's still noteworthy

oooh! If I eat all these Cliff Bars I have a chance to win a wilderness adventure trip where I can eat EVEN MORE CLIFF BARS!

which would bother Star Wars fans more, referring to The Imperial March as "the music for that dude saying DESSSTINY" or "The Standing at Parade Rest In Front of Windows Theme Tune"?

reflexively moving to raise a lightsaber in salute like Obi-Wan every time I hear The Force leitmotif

including ska versions

In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.

All save one. There waiting sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax.

“Oi PISS OFF!” said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. "We ain’t interested, we’ve already got one and anyway we’re closed for the evening!”

Random thought; the most D&D element of Lord of the Rings is how Aragorn - a ranger who would probably like to avoid encumbrance or notice by magical creatures - wanders all over the place with a straight up broken artifact of legend, because he might get it fixed up in a few levels.

I cast OTTO'S IRRESISTIBLE FRANCE!

"Couldn't you choose a different spell, like Bigby's Bogarting Bong Rips or Otto's Irresistable Pants? Look, there's Mordenkainen's Executive Dysfunction, on a failed Will save the target can take no action..."

"Yes but what good are they if I can't fling poo!"

"Sacred Garl, it's Defekles the Brown. Speak ye not unto him!"

"Why, brother? Is he not a sorcerer of fell might who would mickle aid our party in battle 'gainst the foul orcs?"

"Nay, brother but..."

"Good morrow friend Defekles!"

"I cast SCARAB'S DUNG BALL at the orcs!"

"Uh...."

"... any that fail their saves be subject now to 2d6 continuing Coprophagous damage, fuck yeah!"

"Uh..."

"There is a war leader standing, clad in now befouled banded mail +1. He waves his khopesh and bellows a challenge in his own language."

"Awright, tough guy, I cast FECAL TORRENT! A cone of liquified stool hits the war leader, fort save at -2 versus nausea for d8 rounds, hooah!"

"Uh... um. Uh, Fred? Do we really need to do this every session?"

"Subtle are the ways of Copromancy! Question them not!"

Olorum Sana as an album to look up later when I’m not stuck in traffic

She-Lob and the Princesses of Power, the LotR spinoff no-one asked for

Tolkien's unfinished sequel to Lord of the Rings, featuring Jeetkunedo Baggins, would have been very different

it's when you associate The Liberty Bell March with O Fortuna that you know your life took a wrong turn somewhere

enjoying Janelle Monae's "Pynk" because you think it's about a giant sapphic roadtrip

Assuming “yerba” as a slang term for something great, equivalent to “sex,” as in that new drink from Australia “it’s fucking Yerba, Mate!”

people the people big bellies banging bigger drums

they beat down on you they beat the pulse into your shoes

shoes are made for walking you to shores of other seas

see the seas oh see the seas that you've seen on the big screen

woke up on lockdown one more time

my visions won't ever learn

I see the light that much clearer

every time I return

forge my armor in the old fire

my spirit sings loud and clear

even in HERE.

I'll be reborn, someday someday

if I wait long enough.

I don't HAVE to be afraid,

I don't WANT to be afraid.

OH YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MOTHER
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WIFE
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN MILES FROM HERE YEARS AGO
YOU SHOULD BE LIVING A DIFFERENT LIFE

maybe it's time for some nice relaxing Garmarna

* FYRA MINUTER SENARE *

Why are the gods silent? Maybe challenging my neighbor to Holmganga will help

It never fails, every time I decide I'm going to prep and cook spinach I really regret all the little bits of leaves everywhere and the fact that a bunch of spinach the size of my head easily cooks down to a few mouthfuls
