Journal metlin's Journal: Tolkien's Silmarillion in 1000 words 8
Too lazy to read The Silmarillion? Want a n00b chat lingo breakdown of Middle Earth's creation in generation-y speak?
A friend of mine sent me this really funny link.
J.R.R Tolkien's The Silmarillion in just 1000 words!
Here are some funny extracts -
*** *** ***
ILUVATAR: Did I mention the world is round now?
NUMENOREANS IN EXILE: Well, crap.
*** *** ***
SAURON: Bwa ha ha!
LAST ALLIANCE OF ELVES AND MEN: Push off.
SAURON: Make me.
ISILDUR: Whack.
SAURON: Ow.

TAR-MIRIEL: Hey!
AR-PHARAZON: Shaddap, woman. Sauron, j00 suxx0r! I 0wnz0r j00!
SAURON: Okay.
AR-PHARAZON: Make me immortal.
SAURON: Human sacrifice is good. Also burn that pesky white tree.
AR-PHARAZON: Um. . .
ISILDUR: Hey! White tree! Got your fruit!
SAURON: *makes chicken noises*
AR-PHARAZON: Fine. Tree burn! Fire pretty!

NUMENOREANS: Life is cool. Why do we have to die?
ELVES: You're human?
NUMENOREANS: Can the Valar fix that?
VALAR: No.
NUMENOREANS: That sucks. Go away.
ELVES: Fine.

However, if you've read The Silmarillion, it sounds *way* funnier than it would otherwise.
I wonder if someone would make a cool Flash video, akin to one of those many All your base thingys. Would be cool!

THAT'S what came to mind as I was reading it! In the back of my head, I knew all of this sounded strangely familiar.... HOMESTAR RUNNER!

But then, they'd have to make sure that they get the voices right, too
One of the things that make Homestar Runner funny is the really really funny voices and voice effects.
Would be real cool, though.
