Lost Tolkein Book to be Published
Oh Jebus, I think I just heard every hobbit fanatic — including my own beloved snarkpanion — simultaneously orgasm.
Yup, that’s right, an obscure manuscript by the Hobbitmeister himself, J.R.R. Tolkein, will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in May. The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun is a retelling of ancient Norse epics and relates the story of the hero Sigurd, a dragon-slayer, and his wife Gudrun, as they seek vengeance on the Niflungs. Yeah, I’m not sure what that means either.
The entire text is in verse, and Tolkein’s son, Christopher, will provide an introduction and notes to the book.
The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun was penned in the 1920s and 30s while Tolkein was teaching at Oxford. This manuscript was written before The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings trilogy and before the author had achieved international acclaim.
Hey, as long as Viggo Mortensen plays Sigurd in the movie version, that’s all I care about.

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.

WHAT IS A SNARK?
The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.
But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.

Thanks for the good read. I would like to query a couple of points. Should I post here or should I personal mail you.
Is the image your copyright or may I use it on my website?
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”
@Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?
