[quote=Charm2017]Hi Meggie

I join Eric is welcoming you to OCF. I couldn't help but wonder about your choice of subjects on this introductory post, i.e. "Gimli chick"
My recollection of Tolkein' books is that Gimili's "chick" was the fair Elf-lady Galadriel. Are you commenting on yourself or your husband wink
[Explication for non Lord of the Rings fans: Gimili is a good Dwarf with long hair, a beard and his weapon of choice is an Axe- } {concession to Tolkein purists'. yes in the books Gimli uses the same massive Axe, in the movies his character is altered to use 5 Axes plus uncharacteristicf comic relief.] My favorite Gimli quote was always [quote] "You rascals, you woolly-footed and wool-pated truants! A fine hunt you have led us! Two hundred leagues, through fen and forest, battle and death, to rescue you! And here we find you feasting and idling -- and smoking! Smoking! Where did you come by the weed, you villains? Hammer and tongs! I am so torn between rage and joy, that if I do not burst, it will be a marvel!"

But I am always amazed at your well-read mind!
