Special message to the guy in line ahead of me at the art store...

I'm really sorry. It's just that the guy in your picture was very wrinkly, bald, and - you must concede - definitely green in hue, and the handle of the teacup looked like a ring, with the foreshortening and all. I really honestly thought it was Gollum.

It was still a nice picture, even if it was a Buddhist monk.

Wow! If Gollum was a Buddhist monk . . . he would have really been bad at it, huh?

You made me giggle out loud! There go my vows of serenity, damnit. But now I'm thinking of LOTR the Buddhist Version, not that I've ever seen much christianity in there, maybe it's subtle unlike say Aslan other books. Frodo and Sam as merry little monks and the ring being meditated on while Legolas does yoga.

My karma is so bad.

You're not obsessed, either.

Ten years ago I would have said exactly the same thing, but instead of being huffed, he would have said, "Who's Gollum?"
