*Ash reads over the the thread right as she wakes up, sees discussions about underoos, and falls over flat.*

Hee Home of the Whopper (Has anyone seen the episode of MST3K called "The Giant Spider Invasion" wherein Tom had been replaced by an Evil Alien Pod Tom, and to prove it was really him, he had to describe his underwear collection, including "One pair, "Home of the Whopper" briefs? I have that sound file on my computer and it's frickin hilarious!)

I'll go for soft cotton or linen boxers.... but what to embroider on them? Muahahahahahaha
*Ash's imagination gets swept off to places it really shouldn't be lurking in, this early in the morning!*

I'll probably go see TT by myself.... I'll still be here in Utah when it comes out, and my LotR viewing buddy is in Paris studying abroad this semester.... but I'm not jealous! grumblegrumblebloodyunfairIwannagotoParisw

I finally watched the TT preview on the DVD, and all I can say is bouncebouncebounce!!
I swoon in a non-romantic way for Theoden and Treebeard! Hurrah!

Good morning! Luckily, it's a holiday here in the States. My stupid Outlook stopped telling me there were updates to the thread! I figured no one was posting last night!

(Was feeling crappy and went to bed early, anyway. Much better today, thanks.)

DW, I think Tolkien was mad at the French because of that 1066 business (!!), which in his view committed cultural genocide upon the native English mythology. Not one to hold a grudge for very long, was he?

Good to see TH, Niphy, and FroFan, er, Spork here!

So who's got one of them fancy sewing machines that you can program to embroider what you want? I'm visualizing a sort of mass-autographed pair of men's furnishings, sort of like the Froster at the Hoot. We might even put a little Tengwar on there...

Narya--that was oodly! Made me think of summer nights in Nebraska--only they were never spent in such pleasant company...

Hi Rosie!
'
I'll probably go see it opening nite with my brother. If my bro can get tickets like he did for FOTR.

I do know that when ROTK comes out, I'll have to go alone the first time as I will be a weeping mess.

So just because Elda and I are echt New Yorkers doesn't mean people shouldn't plan to come in for the premiere. I'm sure as the time nears and more details become available, we will be able to come up with a battle strategy that will allow for maximum viewing and swoonage, and most definitely partying. Doesn't help that it's so close to Christmas, but Haremites are notoriously resourceful when it comes to seeing that the Squire receives his due tribute.

Narya, what a lovely, swoony vignette. And thanks for the pix of the boxers. They are adorable. In fact, were I to wear underpants on my head, they would be my first choice. But Rosie's original vote (None of the above) does, I admit, have its charms for me (easiest access of all!).

I will probably go with my sister the first time, as she is the only one willing to attend a midnight showing (if they have one here). She's into the blue eyes herself, so it shouldn't constrain my enjoyment any, worrying about what she is thinking. I'm hoping that all the rest of the fans in my family (my kids, nephews and nieces, my mom, other siblings, siblings-in-law) are content to wait a day or two to see it, as I know that I would be distracted by the whole troup going the first time.

Anyway, I'm not sure it's the first time that it will fully hit me. Because I've loved the books for so many years, during my first viewing of FotR I spent some energy digesting the changes that had been made - it wasn't till the second viewing that I was knocked flat on my a**, fell in love, and became a gabby incoherent fan-girl. I have no clue this time whether the first time I see TTT will be tempered by analysis, or whether I will need medical assistance to leave the theatre...

I did find very much that my reactions were tempered by who I saw the movie with. I went to my fourth and fifth showings with guys I work with (and when I say guys, I do mean of the male gender). I didn't even tear-up at Boromir or the shore or the boat. I thought this was a sign I'd seen it enough to innoculate myself. Then I went the sixth time on my own, and I was still crying on the drive home.

edit: gabby broads, indeed! Three people posted while I was typing this! I am afraid to leave and do what I need to do today - harvest cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, and zucchini and make pickles, relish, and salsa. By the time I get back there will be pages of posts to read!!

I always knew getting knocked up would be good for somethin'.

Headline: "Woman Goes Into Labor at The Two Towers Premier"

AP--New York A woman attending Peter Jackson's "The Two Towers" premier went into early labor towards the end of the film late Wednesday evening. Emergency services were called and the woman along with an unidentified group of friends were rushed to Memorial Hospital whereupon she delivered a healthy baby (your guess is as good as mine right now.)

A friend was quoted as saying "it was the end of the film that triggered it."

Immediately following, Peter Jackson, accompanied by assorted cast members including Elijah Wood and Sean Astin went to the hospital to visit the new mother.

"I've never had that happen at one of my premiere's before," stated Jackson. "We're all very pleased"

When asked if there was any truth to the rumor that a private screening with cast members was to be held for the new mother and her friends, Jackson's only reply was "no comment." However, friends seen standing in the nursery area were reportedly high-fiving each other and exclaiming "Jackpot!" "A private viewing!" and "Will Elijah have his wig?"

The mother could not be reached for comment."


Ezzie, please post your Frodo/Sam version of "Bed of Lies." It's been haunting me all week.

EDIT: Ooooh, Narya, can I join you?

It was my third viewing, Narya - i cried like a baby. First viewing was a huge disappointment - "too loud, too dark, and too many orcs" was what I told people. I went back for #2 purely because my heart told me I needed to, and because I wanted to see more of Legolas . 2nd time was better, but #3 was the one that transformed me into a nut.

Thank God.

Lily I am all in favor of your scenario. Maybe Stormy, being a nurse-type, could get hold of some Pitossin for you. Then again, my Mum swears by cod liver oil..... :P

Lily!! Yes!! You are so funny! Heheheheehe.... You know I CAN see PJ being very pleased if something like that happened. I can also see Lils screaming at the ambulance crew:

"Wait! It's not at the end of the movie yet! Listen, women used to have babies in fields, you're telling you can't set something up in here? It's indoors with running water, for pity's sake!"

Hey, Ghyste, I still like the braes. Ladies, c'mon if we were making them, there wouldn't be all that excess fabric.

They would be tailored much ....closer.

I think I'll be going to the TTT premiere alone. * I opened my heart for my dad's spirit to accompany to me to the FotR premiere, and I will do so again for TTT, because I believe he was there on December 19, 2001. Otherwise, the first viewing will be a sacred ritual for me alone. The other fifty times I see it, I'll gladly go with anybody.

*Subject to change, though, if Lily can make arrangements to give birth to the Hobbitling on the Day. In which case I will claw my way to NYC and endure the throngs.

Mel, classes start today? Massive bummer! (((((Mel)))))

Chica Jr.'s classes started two weeks ago, which at the time seemed inhuman (going to school anytime in the months of June through August is inhuman, IMO), but at least she has the day off today. Me too, although tomorrow I have to report in for Jury Duty, sigh. Wish I were a more enthusiastic citizen of our great democracy sometimes.

Faramir and I, Chica the Unphysical, do start tennis lessons tonight--wish me luck. At least I can't harm a tennis racket! (Not so it can feel it, anyway.) I was afraid of what might happen at the Hoot if I tried to get on a horse--to the horse, that is.

I do like the braies--even with all the extra yardage. (I'm still reeling from the "50 meters" on the Nazgul--how heavy that must have been! But how beautifully it draped and flowed on those guys!)

I think, though, that there was the tunic, there was the trousers, and that was it. Aren't undergarments a post-industrial age innovation? I recently reread *A Gleaming Pearl,* and the author had all sorts of underwear anachronisms in that. I was almost expecting her to describe the words "Tommy Hilfiger" on Frodo's briefs as he was doffing them for the fiftieth time.

And I think Ghyste and I must have been on the same site in regards to the "loincloth" information.

The site with the ref to Victor Hugo's brother, right I found the sites when I was looking for a traditional corset maker. It's amazing the education you get when you're researching that kind of thing - I never knew how expensive it was to be a fetishist

Re Cirith Ungol - no matter what kind of undies Frodo's got on beforehand, he certainly won't be wearing any afterwards. However desperate the circumstances no-one would wear second-hand Ork skivvies!

Oh my Eru, the Harem's in fine form today! Lily, you...minx you! Yeah, I'd venture into the madness that is NYC to be part of that. No offense to our New Yawkers, but NY scares me. Really.

I don't care that undergarments are a post-industrial invention. A pair of soft, thin, fine-woven cotton boxers with drawstring waist would suit Fro perfectly. Buttons might dig into that alabaster skin and leave marks upon its smooth loveliness. The braies just seem too crude and of course bulky. 'Nothing' would work fine, though.

Mel: Never, ever, ever have I heard of classes on Labor Day. Ever. Why you? Why now? {{{MEL}}}

Already have the day off for TTT premiere day. Will probably go with elf-loving hubby. He's still OK with my crying at the end of FOTR every time.

OK, business first, someone, PLEASE tell me how to do a custom status!!! I looked, I can't find!!! Want one now!!!

Whew, now that that's over....

MY GOD!!! I canna *believe* the amount of gabbing I missed just since I posted yesterday!!!! It's like the Haremites are trying to mark this corner of KD as our own. Without missing a beat. Not that that's a bad thing. I just wonder if we'll be able to hold on to all of this discussion as a part of our "history"...

Re: the underwear thing. I kind of fancy those french-back boxer thingies Narya found. But maybe in a soft linen.... I think all those buttons are majorly sexy... Well, I do!

Lily ---- ROTFLMAO!!!!! If it wasn't so true, it'd be even funnier!!! Almost makes me want to go to NYC for the premier. Almost.

Actually, I'm with the contingent that plans to see it for the first time by myself. I want to be able to totally lose myself in the movie and allow myself to feel and react any way my old psyche chooses. Not that I wouldn't love to see it with others (esp. Haremites) soon after that, but not the first time. I think I'll do what I did for the opening of Harry Potter. Go to the lunchtime showing on opening day. (I put in to take that day off *ages* ago, really as soon as I knew for sure what date it was) Lunch time is late enough so that the large crowds of faithful have already seen it, but not so late that I'll be totally frantic, and a time of day at which it seems Midwest moms do not take their kids to the movies (feed 'em before they get there). There were maybe two dozen of us in an 1100-person theatre, huge screen, fabulous sound system, all HP fans... I'm hoping I'll get the same sort of experience for TTT... we'll see...

Stormy, loved your vignette. Musta been before my time. Narya, I'll read yours as soon as I sign off... I'm sure it's wonderful!!

I'm with Stormy on that one!

I don't like standing around for hours in December weather on the streets of NYC either. But I DO have some kind of strange ability to meet the performers I wanna meet by just standing around in the right spot. And I rarely have had to wait for too long. So I'm planning on that hour long....if not longer conversation with Lij. Hey... I'm angling for dinner and drinks!

Actually ..though I'd like to go to NY for the premier I probably will go to a more local midnight showing with another Haremite if she's able to get her hands on the tickets.

You know, I'd blow off my last week of classes and exams just to see Lily work her pregnant-lady magic on the cast. Even without early labor and a private Harem movie-showing.

But I think I'm probably going to go to whatever the first showing is (probably not until 3 pm on 12/18 , by which time some of you will have seen it twice! ) with my hubby, assuming I can convince all my students to schedule their exam practicals for the week before. Come on, guys, you all want to go on vacation early, don't you?

I'll go to my second showing in Seattle, though, if Vinnie and Queenie and Tala and any other crazy Imladrisians want to get together there with all the Christmas hubbub going on...

Chica and Goldie: Annoying Public Liberal Arts College has no holidays... I won't say we need no holidays, though. Labor Day is officially celebrated on December 27, conveniently during winter break, or something like that.

Ezzie, I haven't heard anything about another special showing with Barrie Osborne from my alma mater, but I don't think the word got out until later last year. I might not hear before TORN does, though, because it would be announced to the Mpls alumni club, and I'm not in the area. (I've got that article to e-mail you, btw, but your e-mail address is locked in Imladris somewhere.)

RE: going to the movie
i would rather NOT sit by a stranger, therefore, i am going with the local tarts from imladris, and some ppl that we met at barlibash who live around here, am hoping to find a torn line party to join for the premier in seattle, and yes some of us plan on going in costume, i will probalby wear my elf dress and re-use the pointy ears from barlibash.

i think we are all wise enough to be reverent during the initial viewing, and i prefer being next to an understanding friend with tissue, vs a total stranger, albeit one that is a fan.

peace out-, hmm wonder what an angora and cotton blend pair of french boxers feels like against ones skin....................
or even a silk cotton blend, yummie -queenie
````````````````````````````````````````````````
EDIT, *MEL*, you gotta get here for the premier (or at least thurs or friday), I am leaving town on the 21st for 3 weeks, and I HAVE to meet you before I go...........

Hewene ; to get your custom status, click on "user cp " at the top of the page, then on "edit profile". Scroll down to "custom user text" and enter your text there. then click on "submit modifications" at the bottom of the page.

Narya; I forgot to say how much I enjoyed your vignette when I posted earlier (in too much of a rush to get to work ). I was thinking about it all day....*sigh*

I'll probably see TTT on my own the first day.Well when I say on my own I mean with no friends or relations. I'm hoping for a jam packed cinema as I was a slow starter with Fotr and didnt see it first until February by which time there were only a few people in the cinema each time I went. I think it'll be great to have the atmosphere of a crowded theatre this time. I'll probably see it with my daughters later in the christmas holidays.
I sure intend to beat my last tally of a measly 6 viewings !!!

I'm having a very quick late lunch in the middle of the garden frenzy and decided to pop back in. I am already tired. Only six-eight more hours to go!!

Lily - what a splendid idea! However, with my luck for being in the right place at the right time, if I come they will keep us out of the theatre entirely to prevent just such a spendiferous event happening at the premier, whereas if I don't come things would probably unfold much as you have envisioned....

Re: undies. The braies in fact date back to at least the 12th century, dispelling the idea that there were no men's undergarments until the industrial revolution. They were initially worn long (like the pictured one) under the longer tunics men once wore with the bottoms tucked into whatever was worn as footwear / socks / hose, and as men's fashions changed and the tunics got shorter and the hose longer, the braies themselves were made considerable shorter and less voluminous in order to fit more neatly under long / full length hose.

The really sad thing is that I learned all of this in the last two days while researching potential hobbit furnishings.

I'm liking the french-back boxers more all the time. The buttons and the tailored front are just....nice.

And I just have to say, I am so glad I found KD, or Imladris withdrawal would be killing me. I still miss the other threads I was regularly on, but I would feel lost without my Harem home...

Well, back to the kitchen to toil some more...

(((Haremites)))

You know it.

Lils - no comment. I'm definitely going to the movies with you!

I'll be spending my first viewing of TTT (the midnight show) with Quenya and Areeldael. We'll bring bagged dinners (no liquids, though!) and wait in line from 5 pm onwards with all the other geeks. I'll wear my FLWOB shirt.

After that, I'll probably go whenever I have a spare 4 hours - sometimes with Quenya, sometimes alone. And I will drag the fam. And I will make trips (though not to the train station in Greenwich) to see It with fellow Haremites.

Re: Labor day - ugh, I had to work today, but fortunately I got time and a half. I always started college classes on Labor Day, too. Private colleges don't believe in holidays, apparently.

Comfy flannel boxers - anachronistic, but so yummy.

Hello everybody! So nice to find you all here.

I'm glad this underwear discussion was brought to the boards. It was something I had brought up at the Hoot and was discussed all too briefly (no pun intended ) and has still been bothering me as it had bothered me before. You know he's got something on under there.. but what is it? What does Frodo Baggins have on under those breeches?

Narya, the pictures of those French boxers seemed about right for Frodo. Anything with buttons.

Chica, have fun at tennis lessons! Let us know how you liked it. I played a bit in high school gym class, but was never one for athletics. Organized sports frighten me, to be honest. I much prefer a game with no rules and no points. If there can be such a thing.

As for TTT on 12/18, Anais already told you that I'm seeing it with her and Areeldael. Mind you, these are the ONLY people I'd allow myself to see it with for the first time because I know they understand. I'm justifying this by asking you first-time loners these questions: Who will slap you silly to wake you up from a faint? Who will drag you off the floor and to your car/apartment when the movie finally ends? Who will bring you water when you're too dehydrated to walk? These are important things to consider, ladies. You Haremites had better think about that before you go off seeing this movie alone for the first time.

Of course I'll be seeing it by myself a whole bunch. I'll just need to build up my stamina in order to make it through without assistance.

Hewene and Hobmom, I've looked around and can't find a thread that gives out the info we seek, so I've concluded that there's a certain amount of time that you have to be a member before you can have a custom title. It's not number of posts, because many people have only few posts but still have custom titles. So I guess by the time Imladris crashes again we should be qualified.

All this talk about underwear made me think about an intriguing shot of the Holy Heaven that I noticed when slo-moing thru the DVD . It's just as Fro is being pulled into the water by the Watcher outside Moria. My DVD display pegs it as 1:46:44. Just thought I'd let you all know, in the name of thoroughness, of course!

Q, I love your sig, too!
