TheOneRing.net is back with their
Middle-earth March Madness. What's madness is that, once again, I am defeated early and, might I add, illogically. Ok, last year I was pitted again the eventual
winner (beardy fellow, pointy hat, smells of weed) so obviously he must be super crafty and strong and villainous to have defeated me. Well done, old sir. And okay, maaaaybe with my blubbery sensitive skin I would have had a challenge against a black arrow (2014). Just one of them? Unlikely, but whatever. Against Smaug in 2013, that was clearly a popularity contest by Mr "One Dragon to Rule The Box Office" in the midst of Trilogy Middle-installment Mania. Also, he can fly. Unless someone will build me that flying hot tub I've been clamoring for, I'm not ready to go airborne.
But this year, those puny Men of the Internet have actually voted for
the balrog over me. AS IF.
Water beats fire! I have many tentacles, you see? I grab ol' Flamey and dunk him in my lake. Fire goes out, balrog defeated. Boom. Over. HOW DO THEY NOT SEE THAT?
