THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
(4 January 2003, 18:25 | Civ2) After Moria: A Journey in the Dark and Return of the King, FavouredFlight returns with a new scenario: The Fellowship of the Ring is of course the second part of the Lord of the Rings epic
|
second part? second part?
FOTR is the first part! 
(unless you count The Hobbit, which isn't really, unless you replace the "Lord of the Rings" with "the Red Book of Westmarch". Which is stupid because nobody knows what that is...)

I do 
I noticed the error too (but was too lazy to do anything about it)... Now you've made it easier for me, this error needs to be corrected!

They're easily digestible books conforming to what fat, audodidact ex-hippies mistakenly believe to be great literature (stilted, formal language, boredom, epic scale), while allowing them to pretend they're still eight years old. Plus, of course, they were one of those mandatory-reading phenomena in the seventies, when loads of absolutely cack-awful symphonic rock was composed around them.

I only know one thing as TTT (Tampereen Työväen Teatteri), but I hardly believe it's useful knowledge on Poly.

Tampereen työväen teatteri : Tampere's [a city] workers theater
[sounds funny, but the only theaters which can go on here
without goverment support are often 'workers theaters', formed in the 70's]
