Apparently, if you use the Blue Yonder UK search, my blog scores very highly when you are searching for the term, “Viggo Mortensen Got a Girlfriend.”
I’m sorry to have to dissappoint you, but I have no comment at this time.
We’re just good friends.

Fun with Dorks
Because all dorks are not created equal. Lord of the Rings dorks, ferinstance, are unequal, generally being superior, particularly to the kind of dork who sees your “186,000 miles per second isn’t just a good idea: it’s the Law” Einstein t-shirt and comes over to say “Actually, it’s 186,282.397 miles per second,” and then wonders why he sleeps alone.
And if you still doubt the Bond-like coolitude of LOTR fans, you can look here, here, here, or here for proof of cred, you doubting trolls! Meanwhile, you can enjoy this stunning work of art, a video of the SandwichQuest of the Rohirrim and the Last Snack Ride of Theoden. Remember to bring a hankie for the melodramatic finale!

A little movie about Theoden, King of the Mark.
We made this as a little “preview” for the third installment of our Lord of the Rings Parody: Special Edition. The storyline is made all by ourselfs, we came up with the idea during Return of the King. If you like Lord of the Rings, you’ll probably like this as well. We hoped it would be a small/short movie, but as you can see it turned out to be quite different. Enjoy!

P.S. December 17 – Happy Birthday to Bernard Hill!!!
And from the same awe-inspiring team of filmmakers, we have this, the shortest of all LOTR musicals, which features a special guest star, sure to be popular with those loyal Gilbert & Sullivan fans, our fogey contingent.
linkie o’ the day: everything DOES have a fansite
And, until recently, an annual convention (and has the word ever been less aptly applied?).
You read that right. SegwayFest! Note the super-hyped “!” !!!! From 2003-2005 inclusive, the world’s largest collection of elastic waist chino enthusiasts gathered annually at a Southern backwater city chosen for the ready availability of cheap Redbull and Day’s Inns for their annual Lazy Dork Rodeo. Alas, it is no more, and these bereft vacationeers will have to content themselves with weekend jaunts to Excalibur! (also “!”) in Vegas.
Behold: 
Every year, in conjunction with other Segway® HT enthusiasts and Segway enthusiast organizations [!!!!!!](such as SegwayChat and SEG America), Segway LLC supports a national gathering for the Segway HT community.
Dubbed SegwayFest, 2003 marked the first year of this gathering and was attended by over 150 people from around the country. SegwayFest! 2003 was held in Chicago while SegwayFest! 2004 was held in Bonita Springs, Florida. Each SegwayFest offers in-depth workshops, educational seminars, “Ask the Experts” sessions, social gatherings, Segway HT skill competitions, special guest speakers, and more!
“And more!” Wow, “over 150 people!” I guess those big numbers start to get confusing, especially after the second or third RedBull.
And here are the true believers, men (?) and women (?) not afraid to pose with their Segways in full polo gear. Ralph Lauren would be so proud; he can’t use his legs much either.
Welcome to SEG America
the national Segway Enthusiasts Group!
Oh god, more “!”
Welcome to the Segway Enthusiasts Group – America, the official national organization for enthusiasts and owners of the Segway® Human Transporter (HT)! We are an independent, national organization that can help bring together Segway HT owners and enthusiasts across the country as we share our interest in the Segway HT. SEG America is run by its members for its members. Our primary goal is to act as a tool to enable Segway enthusiasts to share information and experiences with each other and to move forward the concept of the Segway HT as new mode of transportation.
I love how they always call it the Segway HT, as if there were a whole raft of other Segways out there you might confuse it with. And, I suppose, after the second or third RedBull, you might.
HappyFunCommie Game with Comrade Lei Feng
Or like, whatever. Here straight from the horse’s mouth, or Yahoo‘s, and they must have all the hot poop on China, what with them being all up Chinese ass lately, is the latest in online roleplaying game innovation.
Doing good deeds, volunteering on building sites and obtaining Chairman Mao‘s autograph are some of the objectives of “Learn from Lei Feng,” a new online game starring the Chinese Communist Party’s legendary hero.
“For beginners, sewing and mending socks is the only way to increase experience and upgrade,” said Jiao Jian, a young pupil and online game fan from the southern city of Guangzhou.
Boy, this guy is totally gonna be scoring all the chicks the D&D guys are pulling now, eh?
“As long as my experience, reputation, skill and loyalty satisfy the game’s criteria, I will win and meet Chairman Mao,” Jiao said.
Sooner or later, we all will, if we’ve been bad enough.
Lockout!
Good god, I’ve been banned!
I can hardly pretend it’s the first time in my life I’ve been banned; it’s the second. The first time was when Smonie banned me from her Only Orlando Bloom perving forum. I wasn’t a visitor there, since I think Orlando’s a nice, polite, decorative hunk of himbo and nothing more, and I only found out about the banning when someone told me there was a big ol’ hate on for me over there. Naturally, I went to look; when someone tells you that you’ve been involved in a horrible trainwreck and you haven’t actually noticed, you go check it out, right? So that’s when I got the message saying I’d been banned. Subsequently, every person except Smonie who posted in that thread was also banned. Was it Machiavelli who first suggested killing off the witnesses? In any case, mission accomplished there. Mandate fulfilled and eloquently manifested.
In any case, I have been banned again. Now, I may well have gone to this forum. It’s possible. It would have been five or more years ago, but it is possible. It’s definitely my kind of thing: Fortean phenomenology is right up my crooked lane.

You have been banned from this forum
Please contact the webmaster or forum administrator for more information
message_die() was called multiple times. This isn’t supposed to happen. Was message_die() used in page_tail.php?
Die??? That’s a little strong, don’t you think? Given my 16-year history on the Web, I think being banned by Smonie and the Fortean Times Online Forum isn’t too bad. They should really get in touch! They have so much in common.
Like their meds.
