I understand Drozd...It is also somewhere in the text (and I looked, but was tired) that he only lived to be 190 years old...........It is only mentioned one time so I disregarded it.
Yeah--that Shire Reckoning does throw everything off a bit
No worries--I'm working on a non-geek contest for all the "uneducated folks" to participate in....I may even have and extra box mod to add to the mix...........

Wil it came wit instrukions?
lol yeah there was Aragorn I who was devoured by wolves (and succeeded by ARAGLAS) ...and Aragorn II (the one we're familiar with and the king of the reunited kingdom and changed his name when he became king to Elessar) who was succeded by his and Arwens son, Eldarion
Lol aint as bad as all that...Araglas was just a cheiftain not a king..was pretty sure who he meant but sing as Aragorn changed his name it throws off those quick google searchesif you guy are right about Araglas you ain't gonna see Elendil in a long time from now on He needs to hide his shame.

Lol no worries...it's just a fun thing..and you think we're bad..you should see my friend who has a masters in Anglo-Saxon, Old English, and like 2 other dead languages get to the nitty gritty on names and the languages that Tolkein used..lol he's fun to paper and dice game LOTR with too
yeah shire reconing is a PITA but it's kinda fun how it relates to the real calandar...and the Tolkein calander of events is all over the place anyway...I knew there were a couple of answers..
uneducated in fantasy novels-technically....fantasy.
That would be me
well it really is so much more than just fantasy...it really is an elaborately crafted and thought out world grounded in old languages like Anglo-Saxon for example...the gregorian calander, several different mythologies and their gods and their view of the world tree..and middle earth..
Maybee hill doo it in piktures for ya.The way you speak you could be my next favorite translator
Lol... translator of what?...
Half the time I need my own translator...depends on whether my work brain is firing (the heavy construction worker where finess is applied via sledgehammer and torch) or the geek brain that's into history and mythology, and historical re-enactments, and reading heavily, and old school paper and dice gaming, and math..
I've been joking all the time, I was bored and this thread cheer me upRelax folks---it was a joke
Awww...but were having fun!
Thanks Elendil...I loved the movie...just cant remember anything anymore.

totally relaxed...this thread was a welcome distraction from doing Li-Ion battery math..Relax folks---it was a joke
From an English major of an elite american university.....
#1-He loved LOTR and believes that it is arguably the best example of its form of literature.
#2 He grants that it is exceptionally well crafted and has intellectual roots across a broad spectrum of influences.
#3 Still, it is fantasy in form, structure and execution. To believe otherwise is to not understand the history, structure and meaning of world literature.
His words, not mine. I must live with him---not you!
I've been joking all the time, I was bored and this thread cheer me up
That's Cool!!
Just don't understand how every person on Earth cannot love this literary masterpiece.......
