This week, you get extra headlines, extra TWIM, an extra skit, extra Book of Morons, and extra profanity.

Yes Heath, here in Mass we do call package stores 'a packy'. A friend of ours spent time in Italy and suggested on a night out that they hit a packy. The locals flipped their shit going on about how they had heard how racist Americans were but didn't really believe it.

That diatribe needs to be animated - STAT. :-)

I would like to say that Kyle is indeed ruining Europe.

Man, fuck you, Eli, Lord of the Rings is fucking awesome. :) Mildly racist, sure (movies more so), because Tolkien was a white man in the 40s. But his world-building is still the most intricate and well-crafted in all of mainstream fantasy, he created complete, working languages out of whole cloth for shits and giggles, and though I'll agree his language is maddeningly dense at times, his stories are still beautiful. And the eagles didn't help at first because they were giant assholes who thought they were above the rest of Middle Earth and wouldn't be affected by any of that shit. And then later, when that position became indefensible, Sauron had flying servants of his own who were watching the skies around Mordor. So, uh, I'll show myself out now...

"God murders all the slappers" ... Oooh you've never been to Essex

The Gray Hunter

Tolkien was a linguist so of course he created whole languages. But the whole thing is for 14 year old boys. Zzzzzzz.... Just read Arthur myths. They're better.

The Recovering Gringo

well, he did say read the silmarillion (that's actually the *only* book in in that series I ever tried to read; I didn't get through it.Heidegger's being and time was less dense; on many sides; many sides).

Hey! Apologies, I won't have time to sit down and write a proper explanation until Sundayish, but two quick points for now: 1. I meant the 1940's, not the age, "his 40's." :) 2. To give a quick example (that is mostly a problem in the visual medium of the movies), literally the only brown people you see in the films are evil, or at the very least misguided. Think of the Haradrim- their costumes, the presence of the Oliphants as war steeds, etc., suggest that they're fashioned after Indian and Asian cultures. And there are no "good" Haradrim. The Orcs are hyperbolically dark-skinned. You never see any black or brown members of the higher races, either- no dark-skinned Elves. You might see some black Men in the background, but almost always in the less exalted places like Bree (in contrast to Minas Tirith). In the films and I'd argue to a lesser degree in the books, having dark skin correlates pretty closely to being either morally questionable or outright evil. And, for reference, I love LoTR more than I can possibly describe, so this isn't coming from someone biased against the series. I read The Silmarillian in 6th grade, I dress up as the characters for comic conventions, I know all the lore, etc. There's a reason I told Eli (in good humor) to go fuck himself. :)
