It's a good joke that deserves to be appreciated.

I feel sick.

 

[Sphenni]

I really don't do jokes like that.

Eragon is a crappy rip-off of LotR. D<

OMG The Inheritance Cycle are my favourite books!!

I still haven't read the Lord of the Rings books. Everywhere i look seems to not have the first one evil . But i am reading the Hobbit, and i'm just about to give up: it's the most boring book i've ever read, apart from maybe my sister's "the cat who wanted to go home" book.  

[Niphz]

Insult Tolkien again and I will actually have to kill you. And I know you IRL, so it's even possible. You have been warned.

How can you possibly enjoy the Hobbit so much?! stare It has next to no creativity...
> i.e. the wizard is like most kid's stereotype of wizards, staff, long beard, crooked nose, waves his wand around and fireworks appear. The dwarves are just... dwarves, no unique character traits. Dragons, also like the stereotypes, big, evil, guards gold up in a cave or whatever. Wolves- like the stereotypes... ( eek oooooh... how unexpected...), big teeth, evil, eat people. Elves- like most people think, merry, dances around all the time, good at swordmaking. Goblins- just goblins. And as for the hobbits... aren't they just small people who live in holes? I mean... COME ON. Maybe LotR will be better.

Darling, I think you're missing the point. Before Tolkien, there were no stereotypes, only myths and legends and folk tales. They are stereotypes because he created them, and everyone else copied them. He was the original. That's why there are people who devote their lives to studying him, and why no one does that for Eragon. Sigh. Read LotR, it's much deeper, and you'll find that elves are definitely not just merry and dancing.

Young people these days. Wouldn't recognise genius if it danced in front of them naked. rolleyes

EDIT ::

@souma - Indeed! Do you like it?

 

[Chibito7]

Aiya!

eek

Niphy's hair! My goodness!

It's so weird, since you had the old hairstyle for goodness knows how long. =P But oui, c'est tres nice. 3nodding  

[Niphz]

Had it for going on four years xDD;; I'll probably go back to it at some point. This one is lovely though -runs virtual fingers through hair- <3 Also I'm really happy 'cause my iPod IRL is red, so it's nice to use the red one. (:

Couldn't agree more. Everyone copied Tolkien. Some good, most not so good.

But then again, Tolkien himself was a scholar whose specialty was the complete works of Anonymous (lol, not the Internet group), as he used to say.

I don't think I could have appreciated Beowulf if I hadn't read Tolkien first. The poem, not the movie. Need to see the movie! 3nodding
