Buy a case of lager. Drink one can. Drink another. Tape the second can on top of the first (industrial-strength duct tape required) Continue untill you have a sizeable staff. ADVANCED RULES: The last two players left that haven’t passed out MUST re-enact the fight between Gandalf and Saruman from The Fellowship of The Ring. A serviceable alternative would be the Duel Of The Fates from...

Watching the Merchant of Venice.
The one with Al Pachino as Shylock. Watching a Shakespeare play is so much better than reading it; the text just comes alive, especially with competent actors. And I would so dearly love to swap vocal chords with Jeremy Irons.

That's what I'm Tolkien about.
On a binge after watching the Hobbit trailer; Coursework postponed, I’ve reread and finished the Hobbit (one day - a personal best!) and just downloaded Unfinished Tales onto a brand spanking new Kindle. I want to know what the feck happened in Dol Guldor!

Bane on a Plane: TDKR Prologue.
SPOILERS ABOUND, so if you’re a little squeamish about this sort of thing, stop reading. To the rest of you; OH MY GOD. The Joker has, is, and will always be Batman’s greatest nemesis, because he is the personified chaos to Batman’s particular brand of order.
