Plum Crazy

A conversation with my friend has restored my good humor. He called me up and said "Tall." To which I promptly replied "Dark," showing where my stream of consciousness leads (next would have been "And handsome" for those who don't pick up on it).

Then he told me he was watching the extended version of LOTR on DVD, and was thinking "Tall" because it had just gotten to the scene where Gandalf walks in with (his words) "Bimbo." That set me off on a gale of laughter, which he promptly joined. As we were laughing hysterically, he tried to correct the mistake, and said "Bilbo Bangings." When I repeated it back, he thought I said "Dildo" instead of "Bilbo," so we were off on a tangent of the Bangings family - Bilbo, wife Bimbo, and son Dildo.

BTW, I watched the extended version of LOTR earlier - Loved it. Most of the additional footage set up the story for the next two movies. Speaking of which, I have tickets to the first show on Wednesday a.m. Barring a transit strike, I will be on vacation from Wednesday until January 2nd. If there is a transit strike, well, I will start my vacation two days early. Even taking off from Wednesday through the end of the year, I have 5 days I'm carrying forward.

However, this entire cult fascination with Figwit eludes me. Yeah, he's cute. But give me Elrond or Legolas or Boromir any day. Actually, all three.
