RoughRiderтАФ10:21 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Um, okay, so let me get this
straightтАФthe whole Frodo/Sam thing is a bondage relationship? Master-Slave?
Can anyone say "stupid"?
WiseguyтАФ10:22 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < No, can anyone say "reductio ad
absurdum"?
RoughRiderтАФ10:23 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Hell, I can't even spell it.
Lady White OakтАФ10:23 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < I don't think
TinkyWinky was trying to say that there was nothing more to their
relationship than that, just that there are elements.
RoughRiderтАФ10:24 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Look, I didn't make a big fuss
when Stinkwinky came on and said that all of Heinleins books are some kind of
stealth queer Propaganda just cause Heinlein likes to write about people taking
showers together and the navy and stuff like that but at some point you just have
to say shut up that's bull@#t!
Lady White OakтАФ10:24 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < I think you are letting
TinkyWinky pull your chain and that's just what he's trying to do.
RoughRiderтАФ10:25 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < He touches my chain he dies . .

WiseguyтАФ10:25 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < I just can't stand this kind of thing.
I don't mean THIS kind of thing, what you guys are saying, but this idea that any
piece of art can just be pulled into pieces no matter what the artist intended.
Doesn't anybody read history or anything, for God's sake? It may not be
"politically correct" but the master-servant relationship is part of the history of
humanity, not to mention literature. Look at Don Quixote and Sancho Panda, for
God's sake.
Lady White OakтАФ10:26 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Panza. Although I like the
image . . . ;)
BBanzaiтАФ10:26 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Tinkywinky also started the
"ConanтАФWhat's He Trying So Hard to Hide?" topic. Pretty funny, actually.
RoughRiderтАФ10:27 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < So am I the only one who
thinks its insulting to Tolkiens memory to say this kind of stupid crap?
RoughRiderтАФ10:27 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Missed your post, wiseguy.
Glad to see Im not the only one who isn't crazy.
TmkyWinkyтАФ10:27 pm PDTтАФJun 28, 2002 < Tolkien's memory? Give me a
break. What, is he Mahatma Gandhi or something? Some of you people can't
take a jokeтАФтАв although it's a joke with a pretty big grain of truth in it. I mean, if
there was ever anyone who could have done with a little Freudian analysis . . .
The Two Towers, one that stays stiff to the end, one that falls down? All those
elves traveling around in merry bands while the girl elves stay home? The ring
that everybody wants to put their finger in . . .
