Waitaminute... Gandalf didn't have a sword when he fought the Balrog, did he?
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Maybe I missed something ... but why do you assume that thats Gandalf?

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" -- Gandalf, to the Balrog, LoTR Part I.
That's why.
Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :
Yes, he had his sword.
I don't remember if it was shown in the movie or not, but he had one.
Posted by Nim Pim (Member # 205) on :
TSN, you haven't read the book? Yes he had Glamdring with him in Moria, it shone of white just like Frodo's Sting did blue, and it certainly got acquainted with the balrog.
Check the LOTR thread here in Gen Sci-Fi, I posted pictures of them. He's been cleaving orcs for a couple of million years, he certainly wouldn't let the others have to do all the work in Moria. :-)

Apparently Rob sees a different sign ... that says "you cannot pass" ... not, "you shall not pass."
*sigh*
Silly librarian.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I think he may have said "you shall not pass" in the movie. But, in the book, he does say "you cannot pass". Four times, actually.
And apparently, he does have his sword w/ him at that point. I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me before to reach a couple feet to my left and behind me to pick the book up off of my dresser and check it...
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
He has his sword, he doesn't. He says "You shall not pass." not "You cannot pass." Does it matter? The picture's supposed to be funny, and we all know who it is and what part it's supposed to represent.

"WHAT... is the minimum turning radius of a 1989 Honda Accord?"
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
It depends on the width of the tires, as well as the edition of the car -- deluxe, standard, luxury. Transmission matters as well.

And, of course, whether you're driving it in Africa or England.

What about bin Laden?
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Couldn't that just be some random Al Queda terrorist? Why must you assume its Bin Laden in specific?
Posted by Magna Ultrus (Member # 239) on :
Refresher course:
"laden or unladen?" "What about bin Laden?"
Hey, it's like a funney.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
... I know, silly.
refresher course: "Maybe I missed something ... but why do you assume that thats Gandalf?" "Why must you assume its Bin Laden in specific?"
Detecting a trend here Mr. Ultra "I like rectums but don't like trends" Magnus?

Anthrax??? Anthrax??? ANTHRANX?!?!?
Why do you think they have Anthrax? They don't even have common sense.
Posted by Magna Ultrus (Member # 239) on :
You are a piece of shit.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
You seriously need to go away. Not you, UM. You stay.
Posted by The BWC (Member # 818) on :
I always thought Bin Laden had white clothes and a black beard...
Posted by thoughtychops (Member # 480) on :
Anthrax was a pretty shitty band. But they were friends with Metallica. I saw this on VH1, right after the show about a pop teen star who fell to drugs, and who crippled his best friend in a car wreck, and then dropped him like a bad habit.
The producers of this fantastic show had the fallen teen idol and his crippled friend meet after fifteen years of silence.
You see? sometimes doing stream of consciousness writing is a really bad idea.
Posted by DeadCujo (Member # 13) on :
Metallica was shitty, too.
Posted by thoughtychops (Member # 480) on :
Shitty, but more popular. Also, they don't braid and dye their peach fuzz in order to look hip.
Posted by DeadCujo (Member # 13) on :
You're right, they just assume being so old doesn't matter. Which it does. They suck.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
That was the Leif Garrett installment of VH-1's Behind the Music.
God, why do I know that?
Posted by thoughtychops (Member # 480) on :
The same way I knew it: You were so incredibly bored one evening, you watched TV. On top of that, you watched VH1. On top of that, you probably watched during one of VH1's horrible "Behind the Music" marathons, which are run every other week.
Don't feel too bad, though. VH1 ran that episode so often it's been spoofed by the Onion, MAD magazine, and "The Family Guy".
Part of our cultural memory now, I suppose.

I think you nailed it right on the head. I'm a sad, sad man.
