On a crossword puzzle, #31 across, 3 letters "Tolkien's Talking Tree". Hmm....I wonder what that could be? And #41 down, 7 letters, "Lord of the Rings" character. The answer was "Strider." I was ashamed that I couldn't figure it out right away. *tear* ~RaggedyAnndy

On the UK Disney Cannel Show Bus Life, the character Eddy refers his blanket that he's had since childhood as "My Preciousssssssss" and acts Gollum-like. Then another character, I think Sally, steals it and quotes, "Now it's my Preciousssssssss" in an aside. ~Elf Princess

While on holiday to Barcelona last week, I had two Lord of the Rings experiences. When I was in London. there was TTT Currency Exchange where I grinned to myself and said The Two Towers to my sister. When we arrived at Barcelona, I looked at the other airlines and to my extreme joy and resulting in me jumping up and down happily, there was a Gandalf Airlines. I would have taken a picture, but I lost my camera and by the end of the holidays I had no film. ~Elf Princess

my pastor made a reference to LOTR one sunday, saying that Frodo's journey to Mordor is like our walk w/ God. We are only told the step ahead of us, just like Frodo only knew he was going to Mordor, but didn't know how it would happen and how he would get there.
