    Ever since Elijah was on, I’ve been telling my husband I can’t imagine what it would be like if a LOTR fan was playing League of Legends and all of a sudden heard all four hobbits on the mics talking and laughing with each other.
    I want this so much. Would be amazing to hear and watch a live recording of all four playing the game together and see if anyone online recognized them.

    It's both great and bittersweet to see this. Great for the nostalgia, and the reunion of the people who made possible for us the greatest film franchise in modern cinematic history. Bittersweet because it was 20 years ago, nothing like it will ever happen again, and these guys have lost a lot of the memories because they have done so many other projects since.

Teaching kids to imitate Bad habits for along with the candy cigarettes which I also used to get all the time. Surprisingly I don't smoke or chew tobacco. So, I don't know if they were bad after all.

    Wow, I grew up on Big League Chew. It was the only part of having to go watch my older brother's little league games that I looked forward to; that they sold it at the little vendor at the park. I used to get this disgusting "watermelon" flavored one; brings me back.
