Because they were so...uh, I don't know if I can keep this PG any longer. Shiny? Pretty? Fair?

Hmm, he did lose them, didn't he? Damn...

(BOP - check your PM's please )


Arty - I really admire Hurin, too - what a guy! - but somehow, Tuor's the guy I'd rather live with on a day-to-day basis. He just seemed to treasure Idril and Earendil so much, and he seemed much more passionate - just really in love with Idril. Fun! I love the account in FOG of how he would just grab her and kiss her, he loved her so much.

Hurin just seemed more distant - heck, when Morwen was dying, it was like he was chatting with a casual acquaintence but then again, after what he went thru, I suppose it's somewhat understandable. But I would have rather seen a more tender and loving last few minutes between the two of them. Yet even at the beginning, he seemed rather distant to her - of course, she had a bit of an attitude, like Turin.

That's because you're obsessed.

Well he seems to have wanted Finrod's too.

Yes. Though I must admit, of late I've been thinking of claiming Ecthelion, Lord of Fountains, for myself as well.

BTW, this thread is still as hilarious as ever.

(I think he prob. knew that! )

Shiny?!?! That reminds me of some article I just read recently, where men are starting to do the hair removal thing, like on chests, necks, and, um, ... you get the picture ... Exactly why, I have NOOOOOO idea! One would think for purely reasons of physics, this would not be a good idea, but whatever ...

So Arty, what do you think of my Tuor/Hurin comparison? Have I changed your mind? (not that you'll pry Tuor away from me!)

Once again we've dropped the Silmarillion forum down to somewhere near the gutter.

Yes, shiny. I was trying to remember why Morgoth wanted Feanor's jewels -- I mean balls -- oh, I give up.
