Tolkein rubbish (it's all the late Gary Gygax' fault)

Anyway, it turns out that Zinfandel is a grape, not an elf from the First Age of Middle Earth. This is most distressing and next time I play D&D or anything remotely similar, it will be as an elf called by that name and with an alcohol problem.

Can elves be alcoholics?

I rather see him in sitting with a group of other unfortunates in a little sylvan dell with a name that sounds suitably Welsh: Cyn’hoel, or suchlike.

Zinfandel: My name is Zinfandel and I am an alcoholic.
Omnes: Hello, Zinfandel!
Zinfandel: It will be 2,853 years, 4 months, 6 days and 11 hours since my last drink, come midnight next Throckmorton’s Eve.
Omnes: *applause*
Matteus Rosé (a fat friar): Can elves actually become alcoholic?
Zinfandel: Indeed. I assure you that…
Matteus Rosé: In fact, I thought Zinfandel was a grape. What sort of name is that for anybody?
Zinfandel: It was in the last year of the war against the Dark Lord himself that I succumbed. Too many of my kin were slain in that final battle on the fields of…
Matteus Rosé: Are you sure you’re not a grape? Your nose is red enough.
Zinfandel: Now look here, Lardy…
Matteus Rosé: Ooh, lardy-dah. Listen to the pixie with his airs and graces.
Omnes: FIGHT!
Off stage: I'll have a large one!

And now I come to think of it, why is it called a “Chap Stick” if men and women can use it? Isn’t that a bit misleading?

Sneaking off

Quiz night tonight at the local, so I think I shall wander off shortly so that I can get home and have a little doze to some music before going out to the pub.

The Colonel will be back from whatever shenanigans he’s been up to as part of the priming for his shiny new job amongst the furriners. I hope it turned out well and he’s not too knackered from his exertions. We shall, as they say, see.

OK. A couple of things to tidy up and then I’m outta here.

Watchmen

Well, a few more stills - or rather character portraits have been released from the Watchmen movie, which is due for release a year from today on 6 March 2009.

trav28 posted up a couple of pics on his LJ, so I wandered over to the Watchmen site and found the rest. Most of them are behind the cut to save bandwidth if there's still anyone out there on dial up.



Rorschach

( Others here )

No pictures of Dr Manhatten. I think we can guess why.
