Thanks Dwarven Sen,

I'm tryiing to follow my own advice to a fellow poster.

"Slow to anger, slow to judge makes fast friends."

My next job will be writing fortune cookies.

Thanks for posting that, Cirdan! I have recently become a big fan of Ian McKellan. . .

Happy birthday, Cirdan!!!!!!

Evenstar · 03-14-2002, 01:49 AM

OOh man...I'll miss it!!!

Dwarven Sen · 03-14-2002, 06:02 AM

my words of wisdom for today:
a day without sunshine is like night

he who laughs last thinks slowest

those who live in shadows burn more easily

there are three kinds of people nobody understands geniuses madmen and guys that mumble

beware dwarfs on stilts

eagles may soar but weasels dont get sucked into jet engines

a good bookshop is just a genteel blackhole that knows how to read

the discus throwers got the best seats at al the crucifictions

5 exclamation marks is a sure sign of an insane mind

fortune cookies are good !!!!!

Elf Girl · 03-14-2002, 08:20 AM

Mmmmm, fortune cookies.

Dwarven Sen · 03-14-2002, 08:50 AM

Is that all you have to say words of wisdom matter to some people i personally will never be an eagle

For noticing your birthday?
Your welcome. Happy birthday again, now that it actually is your birthday--wait, when I wrote that it was March 14th where you are. . .

Dwarven Sen · 03-15-2002, 08:39 AM

did you have a nice birthday did you get nice presents did you kill your friend and take their ring or ride a barrel at esgaroth or did you invite 144 people and disappear

**I have become such an Ian McKellan fan, thanks for the tip!!

Richard · 03-18-2002, 08:02 PM

I too have recently become an Ian McKellan fan, right up untill he appeared on snl and shot down the catholic church (which tolkien loved). If that isnt bad enough i recently dicovered he was a homosexual. Now do you think the writer of these books would appreciate a gay Gandaulf? I think not.

Cirdan · 03-18-2002, 08:19 PM

Ya, kissing Jimmy Fallin on the mouth was a bit unnecessary.

markedel · 03-18-2002, 08:48 PM

Tolkien might not have appreciated it, but his homosexuality has no bearing on the performance.

Bigotry usually leads to the closure of threads and bans, keep that in mind while posting in this thread.

Darth Tater · 03-18-2002, 08:53 PM

Sir Ian Mckellen is a gifted actor, a brilliant comedian and, it seems, a wonderful man. His work on SNL was comic genius. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as when he kissed Jimmie Fallen. Maybe Tolkien wouldn't agree with his views, but the mans job isn't to represent the old professor, but what he feels is right. He is an activist for a cause he believes in, fighting bigotry. I say, good for him, and shame on you.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-18-2002, 09:43 PM

*applause for Darth Tater* Well spoken! (er, posted.)

Cirdan · 03-18-2002, 10:36 PM

just got tired of the issue. a "campy" LotR would have been funnier than the fake unsolicited kiss thing. please close this thread anyway since it was just to announce the TV appearances.
