Azadhel: What's Tolkien?

[architech]

Why do you say Lothar? Are you some kind of Tolkien Fan? Or merely a Warcraft adict? (Aren´t we all?)

Hey Azadhel, :P
Forgive my ignorance ... :?: ... but's a Tolkien?

[mom of 3]

isn't that an author? J R Tolkein or something?

I kind of think your kidding, but I'll bite. :P

Tolkien is the man that wrote the Lord of the Rings books and The Hobbit. He pretty much single handedly popularized the world of elves dwarfs and trolls with his books.

After writing The Hobbit he condemned millions of 90lb weakling teenage boys to playing dungeons and dragons in their basement on Friday nights with their socially awkward friends. They would later evolve into not needing “friends” and playing video games like Ultima, Heros of Might and Magic, and Warcraft.

In no way does any of the above apply to me or anyone that may resemble me.
:wink: :D :oops:

I'm VERYCIVILDRAFTER and I approved this message.

Actually ... I real didn't know ..... :oops:

... however I did see the "Trilogy" of "Lord of the rings" at least 6 times each. :P

I obviously never knew the author.
Dammm .... :oops:

Thanks for the education.

LOL, very funny :D

Thanks CADMAN,

:oops: Like they say "Write what you know." :oops:

You know it wasn’t just nerds that were into Tolkien, Led Zeppelin’s song Ramble On (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/led-zeppelin/82096.html) mentions Gollum and Mordor.

And no, I’m not such a big dweeb that I know that from memory. I was just listening to the song.
:P Give me a little credit. :P

I just realized I still don't understand what you guys mean by Lothar. I don't get what the A stands for... I guess i don't even know what the H stands for. :? :? :?

Am I completely missing the point, and it's just Exxit's name?

If so - Sorry Exxit!

[architech]

Yup ... Exxit's name is Lothar .... :D

[CADMAN]

Hey we got there in the end! :)
