Return of the King humor

December 22, 2003 Stephanie Leary

This one’s making the rounds: Sauron, the One Ring, and contract law

See, Sauron labels this Ring as “the least of Rings” but really he can use it to enslave everyone. The Dwarves might well say “What? We thought you meant that plastic decoder thing that Isildur stole from your breakfast cereal—Elrond’s had that as a memento of the War of the Ring forever! Damn. But we had no contract for this Ring.”

(via MeFi)

Another one you might have seen before: AI Orcs too smart to stand and fight at Pelennor Fields

And if you haven’t seen the Very Secret Diary of Legolas, it’s time to revisit the Diaries page.

Day Eleven: Bumped into Gandalf who is all sparkly white now. Asked him, “Who do you have to blow to get last bottle of bleach in Middle Earth anyway?” Gandalf said, “The Balrog.” So not worth it.

Am rethinking, though. Roots are showing.

Still prettiest although at this rate for how long?

Day Twelve: Asked Gandalf for Balrog’s number. Gandalf said I couldn’t call him. I told him not to be jealous and posessive. He said he wasn’t, it was just that he killed Balrog last week.

Note to self: never date Gandalf.
