discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Flaming1]

There are definitely people who are into that kind of stuff. Just be warned, I'm not good at hearing safe words...

You want to know the worst part everybody? The fucking safe word is 'antidisestablishmentarianism'
Good luck trying to say that when you're getting Mimed.

Sauron cut the forest near Isengard, but the Ents atrophied of their own accord, having lost the Entwives - and it wasn't presented as though there had been terribly many to begin with. There were only about 40 depicted in the movie, you may recall, but more than 50 marched on Isengard, with Treebeard leaving after Gandalf's visit in the night, apparently leading the Huorns (tree creatures similar to, but not quite Ents, but that followed the commands of Treebeard) that went to Helm's Deep and wiped out the fleeing forces of Isengard - more than 10,000 had marched on Helm's deep, and it didn't seem that more than 1,000 had been killed off before they got there and then swallowed the fleeing army as Theoden and Aragorn rode out against them. Merry and Pippen told them the stories that led to the Entmoot, but the Ents themselves chose to fight - the scene depicted in the movie, where the Ents decide against war, is pure bunk - they chose war on the first vote. BUUUULLLLSHIT! The Ents already knew that Saruman was destroying the forest!

First of all, I don't remember Treebeard ever going to Helm's Deep. In fact, he fought in Isenguard and stayed there after the battle. In the books, he was supposed to guard the tower to keep Saruman imprisoned there. He didn't keep Saruman there, (let him and wormtongue leave after getting the tower key) but he never fought at Helm's Deep.

The time of their assault was fortunate, because they arrived just when the

was emptying Isengard for a final assault on . As a result, there were few left to defend Isengard besides Saruman himself.

The Huorns went to Helm's Deep and wiped out the fleeing Urak-Hai in the Strange Forest (which was actually just the Huorns themselves, if I remember right). But I was talking about the ents.
-The Huorn scene was in the extended edition.

Less than half of the 10,000 Uruk-hai who had survived the main battle had fled into the strange forest, where they were never be seen again, as this was actually the newly arrived from . At night, unseen by the Rohirrim, the Huorns slew all remaining Uruks and buried them in a hill later known as the .

But, in your estimate, 50-ish Ents tearing through a wall carved out of a mountain spur a minimum of 100 feet thick, and as much as 300 (trying to remember the descriptions in the book) and probably at least 50 to 100 feet high, isn't badass? Commanding an army that is a forest isn't badass? If anything, Jackson didn't do them near enought justice.

So, a 100 foot wide by 50 foot high wall? I don't remember that, and thus, I am going to say it's BS.
Jackson didn't portray them enough as good-for-nothings.

As you can probably tell, I am irritated after arguing about Lord of the Rings. I am sorry if I offended your sensibilities, but I didn't want to look this stuff up. Or spend 30 minutes reading about Isenguard and Treebeard.

So, look, you are right: The Ents are suuuuuper cool badass dudes.

ok that took an unexpected turn haha

People are still trying to get me to like raw cucumbers!
I assume it'll be the same timeline: disgust, mild disgust, disinterest, curiosity. And then one day, I want to put them in my mouth.

I never had problem with it, and here the system and scales are the same between the checkout lines, the only different is that one is a employe

Ours are in the next lane over and has the same scale, but i think people just drop full baskets on them all the time, so the scales are fucked up.
I scan the little UPC from the bag of oranges, put it on the scale, price pops up as $90 for 50 lbs of oranges.

I'm not old.

I meant the slow and stupid in the line.

So, look, you are right: The Ents are suuuuuper cool badass dudes.

Glad you admitted it.

I reread it less than a month ago, and Wiki is utter shite because it's mostly done by people that only watched the movies. And much of what is added into the extended editions only tangentially reflects what Tolkien wrote in most cases, or is cut from whole clothe (the stew scene, Aragorn going over the cliff, and killing the Mouth of Sauron, for example) in others.

As Pippin recounts the events, he tells that Treebeard disappeared with Gandalf and didn't return until morning - this all happened after Treebeard and the Ents had torn through the walls and opened a mountain tunnel to the sky and started to destroy the workings of Saruman and his followers. It was in that time that he led the Huorns to Helm's Deep and they swallowed what army remained, and returned in the morning. Remember - these guys move quickly when they decide to move, and the Huorns move under command.

When the walls are described, they are described as being carved from the trailing ends of the mountains - think about the large roots at the base of a tree that stand above the ground, but signficantly larger and of solid stone, as a mountain range peters out to the plain. I don't recall dimensions in feet being given, but the descriptions were of something that was formidable, into which at least five levels of dwelling and storage spaces had been carved, and through which light did not pass easily from end to end - this wasn't an overpass on an eight lane freeway, but something much more significant.

The predation of the forest by Sarumon had been gradual, but when the Ents heard of the greater events, they called their moot and "quickly" (for ents) chose war.

You can continue to be dismissive, but if you go back and reread the books, I think you'll admit that you're objectively wrong in your assessment.

EDITED: In Fonstad's "The Atlas of Middle-earth", which is based upon Tolkien's drawings, writings and notes, the "Ring of Isengard" is illustrated as approximately 40 yards thick (somewhere over 100 feet, but less than 150) where the gate passage is cut through, and approximately 100 feet high.

Further, Gandalf's riddle at the beginning of the chapter "The Road to Isengard" refers to Treebeard (aka, Fangorn) as the one that caused the Huorns to be present at Helm's Deep. Later in the chapter, after Theoden and Gandalf's party had ridden through the Huorns, Gimli made note of eyes within the woods; Gandalf confirmed that they were the shepherds, or herdsmen, of the forest - in other words, Ents. Thus, they were led to Helm's Deep by Treebeard, with younger Ents left in charge of the Huorns. Upon completing their mission, the Huorns were led back to Fangorn forest by the Ents among them. The numbers were not stated, but the language suggests quite a few.

I'm no expert, but I believe in the States a lot of workers that have the strictest policy on sick days also have less good health insurance through work, so getting a doctor's note might cost several hundred dollars. Even if it justifies the day/days off, it might be hard to afford a doctor's visit. Especially if you're obviously sick (diarrhea, for example) but there's really nothing to do but let it pass. So you pay for a confirmation that you're sick and you need to stay home and drink water.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully this'll boost your spirits:
I bounced around in many countries, so I don't know which one I was in.

In one of them, for ONE clinic, the doctor absolutely saw me for a medical note...

...and billed my employer and not me. The doctor also sent a scathing note to my company's HR, stating the waste of patient and doctor time and resources re: Doctor's notes. The doctor also spoke about his clinic's legal representation. I told all my co-workers about it. They started to go there for their notes.

I got pulled to HR. They gave me the maximum (!) severance for termination without cause that was available for my position (likely due to the doctor's mention of lawyers) and I was told in the most polite way I've ever heard to basically never darken my employer's door again.

Worth it!
