like that bit in lord of the rings where the orc dudes are like "looks like meat's back on the menu, boys" and you wonder what opportunities orcs really have to order from a menu. I picture even a finger buffet as a bit far-fetched.

I do think that if it was the tale of the oyster and the orc and the orc had an O.P. and did that trick with the pebble then that would have worked because orcs are painted as pretty sharp thinkers who are often distracted from observation duties by a love of fine dining. That just hangs together better.

An oyster was in love with the moon. When the full moon shone in the sky, he spent hours watching it with open mouth. An uruk-hai saw from his observation post that the oyster was completely open at the full moon, and decided to eat him. The following night, when the oyster opened, the orc put a pebble inside. The oyster immediately tried to close again, but was prevented by the stone.

you'd really have to prepare hobbit feet just right if you made them too like, they walk barefoot everywhere so you know the meat is tough, and like the hair? You'd have to take great pains to get rid of all of it and hobbits have a lot the more I think about this the more I think that the orc restaurant just doesn't make a lot of sense

Eonwe posted:you'd really have to prepare hobbit feet just right if you made them too yeah that just spoiled the rest of the trilogy for me. Like when they did those underground scenes in isengard or in the bit in mordor i was looking for any sort of orc cafe or perhaps orc street food where there might be some sort of menu available but that whole side of things is left terribly under-developed in what i think is a big mistake by jackson

personally I think hobbit feet would be split in to the meaty bit of the foot and then the sole could be like jerky just have to sear off the hair

nope it doesn'tquote:Tolkien was very careful in the moon phases described in his works, so that they fit the passing of days realistically. Tolkien was remodelling the phases while reviewing the book in 1944 so that he preserves the consistency. The moon phases described in the Lord of the Rings correspond to the phases of years 1941-2 and its probable that he used a recent calendar for reference[23]. Unfortunately, some minor errors (that can be detected only after thorough measurement and astronomical knowledge) slipped his attention

CCP want me to condense the past 6 weeks or so of EVE happenings into a 3 minute segment on The o7 Show (they gave me 5 minutes before). With the exception of the RMC collapsing more, and some Lowsec shenanigans, I don't think it will be that difficult. Plus side, I get to talk about the first Fiend dying

It's like the scene from the Empire Strikes Back where the rebel ships are trying to run the Imperial Blockade and the Imperial captain is like "Good, our first catch of the day" and you're wondering when he has ever fished or why fishing would be a thing in the Empire or why that phrase is being used at all.

Space friends, menu simply means list to chose from, or a collection of offerings for selection. It's etymology is from small / detailed, so orc english can have followed the same routes to become a list of foods to eat. Like the pile of dead body parts would be there, and someone would roughly list whats in it to eat. BOOM A MENU. Doesn't literally have to be at a restaurant, go back to watching all 614 hours of LOTR in peace.

I did thing with Goon when Kartttttoon didn't pay our space bills, that was a good time. I joined Goondev and worked for SOLODRAKBANSO and then Lucas Tigh did a warp to me and thought I was a spy because he went mad on Internet Drugs and Solo said if that was the case then they were hosed because I'd worked on the auth backend. Also once Vio called me into a private something on TS because I had logged into TS from a Swedish IP. This is the fun you can have in EvE: Online a spaceships in space game. I had a lot of fun tbqh. We killed furries in wormholespace. Hratli Smirks is a cool guy. My wife got in an argument about whether hobbits have oversized feet or not. That's my eve stories thanks Eonwe for the opportunity.
