The Hall of Fire

I had a long post eaten last night. :x I'm going to try to recapture a piece of it. The Shibboleth is a symbol of language as a divider. But language is how we communicate with each other, one way we bridge the gap. I really think there is something ... dismaying ... about language also being someth...

I too hope it will flourish here. Unfortunately, I won't be able to feed it any more here as there, not out of lack of interest but from lack of knowledge, but I will continue to read it regularly as I find it fascinating.

Eru, that picture is heartbreakingly lovely. And I mean that in the best possible sense.

Thanks, Al.

Welcome, hal! I'm glad you could make it. I mean that

Welcome, Narya! Welcome syl! Welcome Hunter!

Scirocco, I have heard much about you. I am greatly looking forward to discuss "things" with you.

Welcome Lord M. So glad you are here.

Welcome to my old friend Ang as well!!!!!11

Welcome, Mrs. Whistler! Thank you for lending us your husband. I promise we will return him, only partly used.

I think our Newest Members are being properly greeted, but in case any are (like me) of the hops and barley persuasion, I brought a friend along to help out:

Ath, it is one of the mysteries of life. The great songs are separated by a minute or so of strange Flintstones dialogue about their trip to New Rock City for Christmas. Tres bizarre! But the songs are great. I share your wonder about the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet. I can't imagine it, but I still...

Thanks for sharing that, sf. I suspect that most of the people that liked LOTR will like Kong, and that most of the people that were put off by Jackson's excesses in those films will be even more put off by them here. I for one am greatly looking for to it. I am quite curious about the music, and ho...

Even I have a favorite Christmas Album: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/Voronwe_the_Faithful/0c_1.jpg Jingle Bells (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Diana Ross & Supremes) Frosty the Snowman (Jackson 5) Silent Night (The Temptations) The Little Drummer Boy...

Faramond, that's beautiful.

Alas, this is not a gift that I share. But I would also love to see more nature poetry, in English or in other languages.

Hey satch! Hey again duffster.

Astonishing, yes. And beautiful.

To be honest, I don't know where that picture is from. I Googled it so fast, I didn't even stop to see. Maybe I'll try to figure it out later.

Rowan! How nice to see you!

The name "Cheetah" does not appear in any of Edgar Rice Burroughs' books. And with that, in order to prevent this from turning into a chat thread (which no one wants), I'll have to post another picture: http://www.neiu.edu/~ncaftori/falls/rainbow-again.jpg That is not to say that there sho...

Queen Beruthiel!!!!!!!!!!111

Are all of my wishes going to come true?

Jeanelf, a great big and welcome to you.

tinwë, what can I say? That is horrible. If you come to the Parlour, I'm sure that we can hook you up with some absinthe, or maybe some nice hot apple cider with a generous dose of the fine Venenzuelan rum?

I think you are getting that from Tarzan movies, which by the way are gross distortions of Edgar Rice Burroughs books.

Hobby, ask away!

As for having an additional discussion about Fëanor to investigate his character and motives, I think some of those thoughts could be explored in the Shibboleth of Fëanor thread that I started.
