cleolindaWhee! Every day is Christmas when Vladimir is your squishy. FedEx just brought me The Arms of Aragorn, mounted* polystone miniatures that include "Strider's Longsword," "Aragorn's Shortbow" (even though it's just as long as the sword, thankyouverymuch), Strider's Pipe, Strider's Utility Blade, Aragorn's Elven Hunting Knife (seriously, no wonder the man's so conflicted. His mom can't even label all his stuff with the same name! Can't you see the little cigar box that he takes to kindergarten?** It's full of "Aragorn's Safety Scissors" and "Strider's Crayons" and "Estel's Elmer's Glue"), and Aragorn's Arrow. You know, the one. He just had one the whole movie, you know, with a rope attached to it so he could yank it back out of Slimy Orc #3758 and shoot it again. I think they cut that footage from the theatrical version.
*Doll! Eowyn is very depressed that the sword doesn't come off. It's much spiffier than Fugagorn's crooked plastic sword but almost exactly the same size, and she was looking forward to schooling him with it. I may have to hide my pocketknife before she goes over there and starts trying to chip the thing off.
**I don't know why, but I suddenly had this vision of Kindergarten Pippin eating paste, and Kindergarten Frodo falling off the slide and wailing, and Arwen and Legolas braiding each other's hair and playing clappy games. I have no idea what they did in kindergarten, though.

Go find a twig and give it to eowyn and explain to her it's a mighty orc-smashing-club only a virtuous woman of the westfold clan can wield. She'll totally wet her pants all over it.

Date: 2004-10-09 09:26 pm (UTC)stalkinglurking in) pointed out that lurking is a bit disconcerting (who are all you crazy people?!), and we should at least say hello.Um. Hello.
Also wanted to say that that is very funny, especially the 'One arrow to shoot them all' part.

They have killed my dream man, stomped on his face, shrunk his body, threw him up into the ugly tree and let him plummet toward the ground, caught him in their mouth and swallowed him, then threw him up ONTO the ugly tree. *shudder*
They have also ruined Gillian Anderson's beautiful face and hair. (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=xfiles_12&item=7802&type=store)

Date: 2004-10-09 10:50 pm (UTC)Doll! Treebeard
Date: 2004-10-11 01:05 pm (UTC)But the point is: my roomie & I were in Wal-Mart & discovered an amazingly detailed and poseable Treebeard with "BRANCH LIFTING AND MUSTACHE MOVING ACTION!!!" I lie not. It was, like, six bucks. Totally awesome. Right now he's guarding the roomie's anole lizard (name of Mr. Squishy, btw), but will eventually join Alien, Predator, and larval Zurg on her desk. Treebeard will be the baddest of the bunch.
"clappy games". You're the best!
