Well, the title basically sums it up but for those of you who didn't know, the One Ring was cast into Mount Doom on this day, May 25th. So how do y'all plan to celebrate? I'm planning on going home watching the filmed reenactment while eating strawberries with cream.

| I like your celebration idea. *isn't doing anything celebratory* Maybe I'll dress up like an elf and walk around my house singing in elvish, just to see the face my sister gives me.

I'll begin planning a sci-fi project titled "Devil Squadron" with the song "Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer" as their theme. I'll also pass my vocabulary final. Tolkien would be proud. |

I'm going to memorize a few elvish insults and tell everyone I know what today is.

Whatever they mean.  Ooh, good idea. *thinks about memorizing Nimrodel*@Vanya: I believe the Shire basically followed our calender... I could be wrong, though. |

Tolkien figured it out for us and gave the dates in our own calendar system (this is of course by the Shire Reckoning, since the Gondor Calendar was reset upon the destruction of the ring, making it January 1st). |

So wait a second. Gondor's new year is January 1st? Isn't it bad enough that our calender has a kind of random new year; but Gondor's does too? *is a bit calender obsessed* |

It doesn't line up with our year. |

Right, after the ring was destroyed, the Shire's May 25th became Gondor's January 1st. |

Moved to GD. Announcements is for HW-specific notifications. I need to finish reading this book... I just got a lovely boxed set used. Now I just need to find the time.

I was gonna bust ya'lls bubble, but Melody beat me to it. Of course, today is the fourth anniversary of my beginning my work in the Red World stories, so I'll celebrate something anyway... (besides, we can celebrate the death of Sauron any day of the year, because that means he's not around to come charging out of the south when we least suspect it or subvert the UN with rings...) |

I'll try to think of something to do anyways on this not-so-momentous day. Maybe I'll rememorize the poem about the one ring. |

I see, but I thought the world was around six thousand years old? Oh well, I am glad that I will not be seeing any black riders anywhere near Guatemala. |

Yes, it is, but the Middle Earth myth is an old earth one (though still creationist). It isn't "accurate" by any means.

I assume because of the roads over there. I hear that it will be twists and turns. When my family moved down from up North we would pretend we were on the journey to Mordor. Though, Florida is not quite Mordor. I feel blessed living here. |
