Legolas held tightly to Boromir as they watched Jack and Rose "flying" on the front of the Titanic. "It's just so beautiful!" Boromir sniffed, wiping a tear.

Boromir: One beer?
Legolas: Ok, one beer.

...Boromir and Legolas 6 hours later.

Most photoshopped photo in LLL.

Orlando was grossly aware that this would get out to the Legolas Lovers and he would never hear the end of it.
Sean was just happy to be included in an image that didn't involve him dead for once.

As @Isolde Alarion passed by, many men were overjoyed at the sight of her beauty and elegance such that they grinned like fools. But among them, an elf looked on with melancholy wistfulness, saddened in the knowledge that this wonderful mortal would only grace the world for the fleetingly short lifespan of her people, and that the world would be less bright and hopeful once she had gone.

Sam hadn't wanted to go to near the naturist enclave, and after meeting their representative, was quite convinced to keep his clothes on. Frodo was being swayed toward the dark side though; lured by the honeyed words of their nearly naked guest.

Gollum was sure he had Star Baker in the bag, until Sam, mercilessly prodding the cauldron-shaped cake with a blunt forefinger, crushed his dreams by pronouncing it underbaked.

Both Hawkeye and Captain America were enthusiastic proponents of the rule "He who smelt it dealt it", and so they both tried very hard not to acknowledge the stench of Hulk's farts until the other had already caved.

Eh, I think 3 days is long enough. @Boromir88 you are missing a treat with some of these ... if you like humour, of course - I can give you a short list. You'd miss a ton of backstory but since you're not wearing your bovvered pocket ... But for not watching Winter Soldier I am docking you 100 points. See me afterwards.

@Allacan ob Burzum the floor is yours!

“Behold the Scepter of Inevitable Destiny upon which rests the Orb of Unavoidable Fate, oh thunder-lizard of Temporal Invasion! This is not your Cretaceous kingdom. Banish! Banish!”

Somewhere along the way, Ian Malcolm’s attempt to re-tell the story of what happened in Jurassic Park through the medium of interpretative performance theatre had gone in a really weird, absurdist direction.

I am afraid the Pratchett quote won my heart quite early. No doubt @Wamba_the_Fool was one of those ne'er-do-wells who sent in their own lyrics to Nanny Ogg's bawdy song, causing yet another rendition of the oft-repeated phrase, Oh dearie dearie me!

Dr Strange's new bellybutton mood ring was quite adept at telling folk when to stay away. Green, they had all learned to their cost, meant amorous.

@Wamba_the_Fool, I'm assuming that means you're handing the round to me. If so, thank you! If not, I apologise sincerely!

Anyway, let's go back to Middle-earth now. :smile:
