Why didn't Gandalf just call up those loving eagles from the start instead of dragging people around mountains and mines and losing hobbits all over?

Slime posted:

Because the eagles would steal the one ring and try and rule the world.

Piell posted:

Let Frodo ride one, that obviously works because no horse ever tried to steal the one ring

rydiafan posted:

Horses don't have sentience. The eagles in LotR are of (at least) equal intelligence with the men, dwarves, elves, etc.

Gromit posted:

Are LOTR horses some sort of robot?

Polyseme posted:

Fantasy horses are robots, yes. Well established fact.

Pun chains are the one time I wish SA was like Reddit where all the pun replies would be contained to a single group that could be minimized so I'd never see it and also so all of you could downvote this here post of mine so no one could ever see it either.

So, what I hear you saying is you'd like to punt this stuff off the forum?

Even old New York was once a number of Dutch towns, including Breukelen (Brooklyn), Vlissingen (Flushing), and Nieuw Haarlem (Harlem).

Hire a computer toucher to fix the code, it sounds like that's a gigantic part of the problem

"Hire"? Why pay, when there's a guy on the forums who'll do it for admin privs? I don't have archives, but I think his handle is barium or thorium or something similar. Why not ask him?

I've been inclined to grant these "mods please" wishes lately, to the extent that I can (which is to say, title/av changes) so y'all are warned

Pastry of the Year, I request that you find inner peace and happiness.

Also, i would love a name change to y'all are warned but I suspect the single quote/italics combo might be the last straw for the forums code. Mods?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled derails to call dibs. I was going to buy plat and then Yikesaroo 2020 happened, so no PMs, but I have in fact made a donation so DIBS ON KITTEH (I'll sort it out next month once the parent doxxing process is done).

In apology for the interruption, here is a picture of a funny quote:

"wer" in Old English means "man," so a werebear is a man who turns into a bear exercises his right to bear arms. No wolf involved.


On the other hand, in Proto-Germanic some thousands of years ago or something, the bear had a different name, but it was so fearsome an animal, people started euphemistically referring to it as "the brown one," which in Proto-Germanic was something like "bero", which also is related to the English word "brown." So maybe "werebear" just means "brown(-haired?) dude."

Hey, where did wīz go?

Our, our hertô a-thumping and you
My bear-eyed girl
And you, my bear-eyed girl

Is that the one where someone posted about drinking mercury once (as a small child whose dad was a chemist and irresponsible about storage)? Because I've read that post, and wow

It's more likely than you think.
