Absinthe & Cookies (a bit bitter, a bit sweet)

Because I Amuse Myself

Yesterday, Robert very kindly linked to my "Severed Fingers For The Holidays" post. He said, "I'm pretty sure that if Tolkien were still alive, this would kill him." Here's my response:

Yeah, and then they'd be selling his severed fingers. I can see it now, in a velvet lined faux biscuit tin, with the certificate of authenticity stating that it's an actual replica of the finger that held the pen that wrote the Lord of the Rings! And every six weeks, another finger from the hand will be sent to you. If you order right now, we'll include a lovely pressboard display shelf embossed with genuine faux Orc skin. You'll be the envy of all your hobbit friends! Order now!!

I slay me sometimes! And I'm modest too!
