entertaining, boys and girls, but not recommended for use in school projects of a *ahem* serious nature!

As I said, there was no writing involved. We did it as an impromptu stand-up act in the cafeteria one night when someone asked for a summary of the Silmarillion. Our version was a bit longer, but very similar.
Interesting to see that someone else had the same idea. ![]()

That is REALLY funny!
I agree - we need Turin in there, too! That story is just ripe for this type of thing!
