I had nightmares when I first saw the LOTR movies... <BR/><BR/>And then, of course, I saw Viggo Mortensen (King Aragorn....) and my nightmares vanished....

All aboard! :) Did you see ever see the guy who was driving around the country in a big purple double decker called the Knight Bus? (Advertisement for the final book). It was pretty funny. I might have ridden it if the guy didn't give me the heebie jeebies. :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423951836289693239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38754680.post-9815337509179038862008-07-20T22:50:00.000-07:002008-07-20T22:50:00.000-07:00correction, mom, it's all ELVISH to you. elvish.em...correction, mom, it's all ELVISH to you. elvish.<BR/><BR/>emily, this is a conversation we had on the way to zach's wedding.<BR/><BR/>jarret, what is the silverton? i am interested.abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10421385816847493275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38754680.post-12088032740288378712008-07-20T17:20:00.000-07:002008-07-20T17:20:00.000-07:00I stand squarely with Jamie.

And Galadriel would make a more formidable choice.<BR/><BR/>In Abby's favor, I am told the Orient Express is a great trip - closer to home the Silverton packs a Wild West punch.Jarret M. Sharp, Ed.

At least, they celebrate Christmas. I know unbelievers in our world do, too. But I think that shows that someone somewhere in HP land believes in God. And, if you want to get all philosophical, Harry is this much loved person who is protected by love as he stands against pure evil and he even makes the ultimate sacrifice for everyone. Even his spell during the big duel ... I mean, he gave Voldemort all those chances and then could've easily used a killing curse, but he didn't.<BR/><BR/>Oh. My. Stars.
