I wonder if this is the same 1/2 hour special I saw on Fox about a week ago? We don't have MTV in our house as a matter of principle (and parsimony).

Now that was nice Sauron, maybe you aren't such a bad guy after all.... ;~)

I saw an hour special on the Sci Fi channel last night - which was good, because I have MTV blocked off on my TV.

Yeah, I caught that special the other night. I have to say, Liv Tyler speaking Elvish sounds very nice.

Hmm...understatement...

Or you're being polite :)

Passageway to Middle Earth: Making of Lord of the Rings

Saw it on a better channel than MTV a week ago.
Sci-Fi

Truth be told, an attractive woman(ie. Arwen or Galadriel-types) could probably convince me to marry her by speaking Elvish to me. I loved the way it sounded. I've never heard it spoken before.

Elvish being based on the language of some of my ancestors, the Finns. Not Finland, but Suomi. How pretty is that?! Suomi. Much better than Finland:)

MTV sucks. They are only jumping on the bandwagon. The Sci Fi channel special was great. Hearing Liv Tyler speak elvish, made me feel funny. You know, funny.

Nothing is better than Finland!! Dark, mysterious Forests, 10,000 lakes, digging into your sauna through 3 feet of snow when the 24 hour night temperatures are 30 below zero, getting heated up like a lobster, having your relatives beat you with birch branches to get the circulation going, then running outside to jump through the hole in the ice into the 32 degree water. What could be better. (I know, you were talking about the sound of the words, but I was just showing my sisu!!)

MTV just broadcast a half-hour-long "Making of the Lord of the Rings"

Hey Sauron, thanks for the heads up. 'Just Broadcast' -- not, 'Is about to broadcast'. No wonder they call you 'The Dark Lord'.

LOL.

My grandma's family had a sauna on the farm in the UP of Michigan. I was in there more than once, my friend. Now If I could meet some hot Finn girls to whisper sweet Elv..I mean Finnish nothings into my ear.

You do make me think that I need to travel. I heard some good things about Reykavijk(sp?) I'm single, and since marriage seems a longshot, maybe I should just have some fun? lol Oh the world is so large, where to first?!

Unfortunately, I have not been to The Great White North (Minnesota, natch -- 100 miles north of Duluth), since I was a little tyke. Do look forward to going back in the not too distant future.

Thanks for the heads up.

Read the books!
