The Lord of the Spoons
Absolute madness.
Our old friend Dominic joined us once more at the WG Grace by JD Wetherspoon(s). But this time to recap a Lord of the Rings watching marathon. Things went off the rails immediately. Although I'm not sure if they were ever on the rails, really. More of an off-roading ATV experience, metaphorically speaking.
Here are some notes of what transpired.
2:00 - We finally finish the fucking introduction.
3:30 - Dom has some hiccups.
6:00 - Our friends abandoned us. And then we started giving the "If I take one more step" line repeatedly.
10:00 - Dominic enlightens us on some LOTR trivia.
13:30 - We played the wizard staff game and I won and Dominic lost. And I beat Dominic. He lost to me.
19:30 - Here's a hot dog pancake recipe for you.
23:30 - ?
26:00 - We try and fail to recite Sam's speech from the end of The Two Towers.
31:30 - I guess we end it. Am I moving to Denmark?
Bonus - Here's Sam's speech from the end of The Two Towers.
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam.
SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam?
SAM: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
