the land of the knee-walking turkeys

Reading Bored of the Rings for the first time in 20+ years. It is truly shameful* how much of it I have down by heart, even now.

It is because of this book that, whenever I have been required to create a map, it is certain to contain a province or geographical feature called "Cantinflas."

*When I say "shameful" I of course mean "amusing as fuck."

Actually I've always remembered "...And think of dirty things/Of deviant dwarves who suck their toes/And elves who do it in teams." Which means that, unfortunately, Bilbo's fireside song in Fellowship of the Ring makes me laugh in a terribly inappropriate way.

When Betty and I went to LoTR, I kept bugging her by reciting the inscription. And saying stuff like Look it's Goodgulf! And there's Frito! If she hadn't already seen the film she'd have killed me. Now she just keeps calling the elf Legolamb.
