Apr. 12th, 2002 01:31 pmSee now, stuff like this is why I should never open my mouth, ever.
So, like, Treebeard and friends were talking about (and displaying) the evil that is B*ksh*, including a link to this site. A visit there yielded this:
"I've been planning this CED feature for over a year now in anticipation of the release of the first Lord of the Rings movie, but in light of the September 11 attack, I believe Tolkien's works also serve as an allegory to conditions in this country leading up to the tragedy. America had a false sense of security with its friendly neighbors and geographic isolation, not unlike that of the Hobbits safe in the relative isolation of their Shire with friendly people about, oblivious to the gradually darkening world at large. Well, the Hobbits and their allies rose to the challenge, and we're accomplishing the same thing."
Excuse me. I have to put my head in a drill press now.
