Sorry Durelen, but I think the aforementioned site is a bit poor really. It is very difficult to read aswell.

For a laugh, check out bounce-a-baggins on

The tolkien sarcasm page is really good, IMHO. Especially the crackpot theories are very funny.A while ago I drove everyone at Amon hen nuts by repeating over and over again that Tom B. was the witch-king.<img src=smile.gif ALT="

I really like that site!

This part is quite funny <img src=smile.gif ALT="

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>

The shadow poured behind it, like unto
vast wings. Fire shot from its nostrils and it raised its whip on high.
With a crack it sent the thongs flying across the bridge, setting a post
beside Gandalf to flaming. He ducked out of the way, but held his
ground.
"Now that was entirely unprovoked," he mumbled.
"Just look at those wings!" whispered Lego-lass.
Aragon turned to the elf disapprovingly, "Eh?" he asked.
"Well, see for yourself!"
"I see naught but a shadow like unto wings," Aragon commented.
"Besides, you ought to know better, being of elven kind."
"Do not teach your betters, manling!" reproached Lego-lass, "I was
there when the Balrogs flew - Flew - down upon us at-" They ducked as
yet another post burst into flames beside them.
"You cannot pass," Gandalf said to the Balrog. The goblins stood
quite still and a dead silence fell save for the quiet arguing of Aragon
and Lego-lass. Gandalf shouted, "I am a servant of the Secret Sauce..."
"Those are wings!" insisted Lego-lass.
"Utter nonsense! Just a shadow. Read your lore better, elf!"
retorted Aragon.
"...wielder of the flame of Arnor. You cannot pass!" Gandalf ducked
again as yet another pillar was set alight by the passing of the
Balrog's foul whip. "This flame war will not avail you, servant of
Mattel..."
"Look, " pointed the elf, "see how the wings flap behind him!"
"Shadows dancing in the firelight," said Aragon who did not look.
"...Go back to your bed! You cannot pass!" shouted Gandalf.
"I know the histories as well as you!"
"Obviously not!"
"I WAS THERE!"
"So? Shadow!"
"Wings!"
"You know, it's sad when a mortal knows your history better than one
who 'was there'."
"Now, just wait a minute!"
By now the hall was filled with flaming posts and the Trolls chanted
their vulgarities. From out of the shadow, the Balrog raised its
fire-red sword. Gandalf's glittered white in return.
There was a ringing clash and a stab of white fire. The Balrog fell
back and its sword flew up in molten fragments. Gandalf staggered but
remained standing.
Far across the hallway they heard a high voice cry out, "No, Gandalf!"

------

Gandalf fell backwards over the edge of the chasm with a cry.
Pipsqueak blinked.

"All right, smart girl," pouted Aragon to Lego-lass, "If he's got wings
why doesn't he fly out?"
"Gandalf!" Pipsqueak sobbed down the chasm.
"Fine!" said Lego-lass, advancing to the pit. Aragon followed.
Leaning over, the elf shouted down, "Gandalf! Does the Balrog have
wings?"
From the depths they heard the faint shout of the receding wizard,
"Fly, you fool! Fly!"
Boromir™ arrived panting. He had been deputized to find out what
the hold up was. Close behind was the disheveled yet stunning Arwen.
"Ah, well, there we are!" shrugged Lego-lass to Aragon.
"What do you mean?" replied Aragon.
"Gandalf just said it!"
"No, he said 'Fly'. What does 'fly' mean?"
"That the Balrog has wings! He told it to fly: to save them both,
obviously!"
"Hang on," Aragon leaned over the pit and cupped his hands around
his mouth. Before he could shout down to Gandalf he felt a tapping on
his shoulder. He looked up into Arwen's blazing eyes.<hr></blockquote>

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/sting.jpg" align=absmiddle> Humour (as opposed to sarcasm)

Call me a miserable stick-in-the-mud if you want, but I see nothing funny about having to read five pages of second-rate dialogue between ripped-off characters from an epic story and never laughing once <img src=frown.gif ALT="

">

This is a prolonged form of indulgent pap with little or no original humourous content and consequently probably an extremely long shelf-life.

Seriously, for instant gratification, try hurling halflings around an anti-gravity sphere like the Moon amd hearing them yelp as you squeeze their gut
(The idea needs work but is guaranteed to make you laugh at least once).
