Øystein Bech Gadmar, ever patient and industrious, has taken into account several of the suggestions and nit-picks from the previously posted Princess Bride/LOTR crossover, and now presents to you a final (?) version, available and looking tidy at:

Tell your friends; bring your kids; spread the news. Great work, one and all.

In an unrelated note, my Tolkien calendar speaks today of the Dwarf-Road, and says, "The Edain entered Beleriand in this way, and so did bands of ravishing Orcs." Indeed.

ORC 1: Ashknughd, you look ravishing today! Is that a new breastplate?
ORC 2: Why, yes - thank you - it is. You like it? Really?
ORC 1: Adore it. Oooh, it's so leathery! What's it made of?
ORC 2: Roadkill. Fresh last week.
ORC 1: You find the best deals. I'm so jealous.
ORC 2: Oh, don't be silly. I so wish I had your hair.
ORC 1: No! This old mess? You do?
ORC 2: Absolutely. What do you use on it? Skunk fat?
ORC 1: Oh - just blood. Ox if I can get it; usually only squirrel.
ORC 2: Truly? Well, it looks fabulous on you! I wish mine did that.
ORC 1: Oh, you do not. You're such a flatterer.
ORC 2: No, I mean it! I think you're the ravishing one in our army. I've always thought so.

Yeah, okay, that's enough. *wanders off*

You may remember, a while back, I received an LOTR/Princess Bride parody crossover from DeVee, and posted it here. Many of us added our own funny quotes, though it was never quite put into any particular order. Well, Øystein Bech Gadmar just emailed me this--the full LOTR film trilogy script, as told through Princess Bride quotations. This is pretty much total brilliance. I'll post it as the talented ØBG sent it:

Is This A Kissing Book?( Read more... )

For those of you who, like me, have memorized the film The Princess Bride, tonight's humor piece will be a fun treat indeed.

A certain DeVee M. emailed me this. It's basically LOTR as told thru Princess Bride lines, and they work surprisingly well. (From http://www.geocities.com/idrmoon/LOTR_PB_Parody.html , but hosted here to help keep from crashing the fragility that is Geocities.)
