What is old is new again?
It is amazing ot think that one man's books could inspire an entire album of one of hte greatest rock bands of all time. Also, there is A Falcon which has nested wiht it's mate in an inner city skyscraper. It was named Frodo by readers of the courier mail. [ 3:33 AM November 28, 2003: Message edited by: Everdawn ]

Along US 101, I thing about northern Medocino County, CA., is an OK tourist's trap with a trail of Middle-Earthling displays and so forth. My daughter and I did the tour some months ago. As I kid in a car I saw the place near Cave Jct., OR. I don't recall noticing it at all times of late, but US 199 is trippy enought. But in the Calif./Oregon world where Hippies once throve, none of that is surprising.
Zepplin Rocks! Dancing Days are here again ... "Hobbit" is a coined word found in many dictionaries. Ironic?> There's lots of stuff on the Web. Ya know?

In the real world is this awful story about Gandalf Cres in Paraparaumu, north of Wellington. A lot of our streets are named after New Zealand political figures, native plants, or places in the UK. I think it's a bit ridiculous to name a street after a fictional character, but I suppose it will be a lasting testament to the whackiness of the last couple of ROTK-filled months down here in Aotearoa. I can't help but feel that Tolkien Ave or Jackson St would have been better, though.
Not really in the real world:

Today I was watching Wheel of Fortune and was quite delighted when one of the last puzzles was "Elves and Hobbits," with the puzzle category being characters. teehee.

Plus, the band Nightwish makes some LotR references in a couple of songs, mentioning Elbereth, Lorien, and the Grey Havens. Most of the members (maybe all, I don't remember right now) say that LotR is one of their favorite books and influences. I got a card for my birthday that said Quote:

When Tolkein was a boy he used to frequently pass a pub in his hometown called Rosie's. And in the book Rose Cotton is the bar-maid. Just thought it was neat.

Some time, sit down and listen to "Orion" by Metallica (on their album Master of Puppets). It's one of the most melodic, beautiful pieces of metal music I've ever heard. Or "Hero of the Day" from Load, for that matter. Or anything by Tool. And hey, let's not forget that, on the show Babylon 5, the homeworld of the Shadows was Kazadum.

Terribly sorry. That place I spoke about in my last post was actually called The Rose and Crown and it was a tavern. Terribly sorry for my mistake. I do apologize.

Don't know if this counts but the security guard where I am currently working is a dead ringer for the Bree gate keeper with the same cheery demeanour.... really brightens my arrival at work...
