It began with the forging of the great idea. Nefhithiel, co-webmistress of The Lord of the Pants Page, and I, Nuinavariel, other co-webmistress, were at our friend Ame�s sleepover, and were watching �The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,� our favorite movie. Nef mentioned that she had once gone to a website that had replaced the nouns in lines from Star Wars with the word �pants.� We had just gotten to the part where the fellowship goes into Moria, and so we started talking along with the movie, only exchanging the nouns in the line with the word �pants.� Our other friends seemed to be amused and annoyed at the same time, and yelled at us to shut up many times. But such is the price of greatness, ne?
Anyway, the next day, we looked up the �Star Wars Pants Page� and it hadn�t been updated since 1999, apparently abandoned. It was really funny, though, and we craved more. More pants. More good movies. And then�it hit us.
Nef: Wow�this site is really awesome. Too bad it�s dead.
Nuin: Yeah. Hey, maybe we should make a Lord of the Rings pants page.
Nef: Yeah. Cool.
Nuin: Okay. Yeah.
Hey, give us a break. We were at a sleepover, remember? Can you say two hours of sleep?
Anyway, we talked about doing the page for a long time, but since we were both busy with our own websites (Nuin: www.geocities.com/emeraldgaru, Nef: www.geocities.com/birddude1225) as well as school, we never really got around to it. Sure, we�d sign up for an account, maybe pants-late (Get it? Translate? Ha ha!) part of the script, but that�s about the extent of it. �Oh sure, we�ll do it over Winter Break. Make it Spring Break. Make it�� and so forth.
But then�it was Summer Break. Ah, three glorious months (more like two, due to the evil tyrants ruling the school board) of freedom! And summer reading and family vacation and the SATs, but that�s another story. So anyway, I finally decided that we were going to do it.
I contacted the wonderful, talented, brilliant, kind-hearted, selfless Munkey Ju-san of Tossed Salad Web Design Services, who had helped me with my other site�s (fabulous) layout. She agreed to do the layout, taking pity on those of us whose only image editing program is Microsoft Paint and knowledge of HTML is�well, limited. She soon provided me with this amazing layout, and I pants-lated the entire scripts, etc...
And here we are. Wow! This is cool. I�m actually surprised you�re still reading this, although it is funny and well-written, if I do say so myself. And framed by an incredible layout. Just look at it! Isn�t it great?
But the point it, we believed in something, and after fighting hard and exercising our rights and freedoms, we finally got it. Or something like that. How about, although time may weather people and their pants, the good shall prevail? I was never good at themes�I don�t know. Something about stick to it, or something. Whatever. Go read some pants quotes.
