Goodness, maybe I should consider selling my Tom Bombadil!

There are a few more 1st Bombadils in the world than there are Hobbits ...

'Ents and Sensibility'?? That's... that's so silly it's not even that funny :)

Do you know Red Dwarf, with the Jane Austen tea party?

I know - and love - Red Dwarf, but can't remember a Jane Austen tea party! Sounds hilarious :) Need to get that series on DVD!

*hums: it's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere...*

Ahh, good times :)
