Disgarceful! We'lll be needing a bucket of very cold water here soon!

[Lancebloke]

Why? Is that part of a Scotshobbits mating ritual?

[Mrs Figg]

and I get called out for using the correct tenting terminolgy, its not fair!

I had better not ever have a conversation about the Planets with Halfwise, I may have to use the word Uranus, tell you what I will say Gas Giant, or Orwell for short, howzabouthat?

[halfwise]

[Lancebloke]

Do you like Uranus? I can dust of my special probe if you are in to that sort of thing... get a close up of the ring?

[Norc]

the one ring.

[Mrs Figg]

[chris63]

Watched a space program with me dad when i was a kid. It was on about the discovery of rings round the planet Uranus.
Can always remember me dad saying. I didn't no Uranus had a ring round it.
The look on his face when he realised what he had said. Still makes me laugh

[Tinuviel]

There's not much else to do in such situations other than turn up my nose!

[Orwell]

Careful where you point that nose, that's my advice.

[Amarië]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

But really folks, be sirius.

[Lancebloke]

Not sure turning up ones nose in close proximity to Uranus or Mianus or any other Anus is the right thing to do.

Again... unless you are in to that sort of thing.

[Pettytyrant101]

Queens can do as they please with their exquisite noses I think you will find.

[Eldorion]

Not an official Hobbit picture, but I someone posted this on TORn's forums and I thought it was a pretty good representation of the kind of films PJ seems to be making.

[Pettytyrant101]

Seems about right to me.

[Mrs Figg]

I would send PJ to Uranus, one way ticket.

[Lester Cat]

For the sake or decency and balance, Carl Sagan officially changed the name of Uranus in 1983,it is now known as Urectum.

[Orwell]

{{{I know I shouldn't encourage the Ol' Cat but....}}}

They didn't teach us that at school. Our teachers used to refer to it as "Eurarrcewhole".

No wonder I didn't pass that exam.

I like that Chris! Do you know who the artist is? It reminds me of the character design sketches for the Henson film The Dark Crystal, curious to know if it is the same artist.

[Elthir]

That's John Bauer Petty -- I notice the influence, in my opinion, on Kay Nielsen, and more recently Brian Froud -- for two I can think of at the moment -- with respect to the treatment of trolls for instance.

Another artist recently posted (somewhere in these forums, if I recall correctly) was Florence Harrison, or so I guessed anyway (Mrs Figg's Arwen and Galadriel suggestions)...
