Only cos he never thought of it first.

They did something like this back in 2003 already. If they're expanding the line, then hey.

Remember those gay-themed anatomically-correct dolls they used to sell in ironically hip stores in the late 90s? They are all looking at this Ken-Legolas doll and sobbing.

gay themed anatomically-correct dolls'-movie idea- spawn of chucky:gay and lovin'it!

Last week I ordered the recent Dean Roberts' CD from a certain online retailer and got sent the BBC 14-CD LOTR radio thing by mistake. If anyone wants it cheap...

I find these less daft than the LotR Pipe collection, to name but one ludicrous merchandising opportunity. Or the "Here and back again" doormat. Or the belts.

I mean just click on the LotR 'Quickstore' and be amazed. Pipes are under 'Masks etc'. There are some great things under 'Misc', including the officially licensed Saruman pen.

I watched "return of the king" on cable last night. Funny to watch it with a clock right above the TV and realize that after the climax of the film, there's another FORTY MINUTES of pontificating, tender looks, and jumping on the bed to sit through. It's really a pretty excriciating movie.

Yeah, anyway, fuck Tolkien. They could make Legolas the Christmas Poo for all I care.

When I saw the movie at the theatre, and the jumping on the bed and laughing happened, I nudged my brother and said, "They're laughing at us!"

Wait, I never saw the darts before. They're the most ludicrous official merchandise ever, hands down.

Now, now, there's a hell of a lot in the book about sports darts.

I think they missed a trick by not having a Frodo Baggins leg-waxing kit.

Dan specializes in Gimli reacharounds.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 January 2005 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I specialize in trans-continental nutpunches; I'm like an internet-enabled Johnny Cage.

One way or the other you end up with your hand in someone's crotch.

I feel a strange tingling.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 January 2005 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

That means that it's working.

Denorex on the nads is actually less entertaining in reality than we're led to the believe
