      Price rate for one to the Shire = your shoes and whatever ammounts of cheese, mutton & pear cake you are currently holding.
      Wifi = Palanthir
      The forecast for Orcs vary with the season and whether or not you are traveling alongside any megalomanic warlords. You are recommended to dress light, but with a maneagable sidearm (preferably short sword)

      What you should be asking about their breakfast, second breakfast, elvenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper, that's the most important thing, you don't want to go and get famished without those necessities, and you better hope to get some lembas at the end or you should complain.

    the guy smiling at the beginning because he met his idol face to face makes me happy everytime I watch it. Like a child seeing his favourite toy again after a long time under the bed. I'm sometimes like that too bc of aspergers, and seeing people like this that have one specific thing they love and then suddenly getting the absolute maximum of that is awesome imo.

    This title is an understatement. I grinned the entire time and was laughing at the flight attendants throwing flower petals and Gandalf screaming as the armies neared each other. The final message, "Your Middle-earth adventure is closer than you think," made me immediately tear up, which is almost impossible to do. May that adventure happen soon! ~Kili
