So, uh. I guess my prediction of a Beatles-sounding band fell short of the mark. Good music played well by men, indeed.

[littlefallsmets]

I'd've gone with "I'ma think out loud here" as the title but... we're definitely splitting hairs.

Am I the only person who couldn't get into "Lord of the Rings" at all?

Couldn't even get through the books, books that are 80% exposition and universe-building tend to interest me very little... and the movies were pretty to look at but such long rambling slow paced things that I almost fell asleep.

And I don't fall asleep during a movie easily. The only movie that has ever put me to sleep was "Annie Hall"... but, man, did "Fellowship of the Ring" come close.

[KeithHernandez]

UH, I hate Lord of the Rings also.  Good strip though.

[melack]

I read the books back in... 8th grade or so? But I didn't start with the trilogy. I read the Hobbit first, which is like dipping your toes into a hot tub. It's a good way to get hooked on the series. After that it's pretty easy.

Wow, so not what I would expect of a good song like a man would play at a concert.  But no way I'm going to argue with Nice Pete.

UH, I hate Lord of the Rings also.  Good strip though.

I'm watching you.

You too, Inev.

[theinevitable]

what did I do?

I mean, I don't get LOTR either... but mostly because I always decide to read it when I'm on some long trip. And then I fall asleep, or lose the book, or something like that.

also... I'm pretty sure today is the 12th.

[AugustWest]

I meant LFM.  But I'll be watching you too.  Why not?

[V-Adore]

Wow, the Acheverse appears to have just skipped a day.

Anyway, I approve of Mister Band being the next Rhapsody. Now they just need a hero to write songs about, ala DAAAAAAAARGOOOR OF THE SHADOWLAAAANDS.

Assuming Lyle is playing in the key of F, I've got to submit my congratulations. That repeated B note is PERFECT for the elves and dwarfs type thing. Seriously everyone, try it.

also... I'm pretty sure today is the 12th.

That may be true, but in the alternate dimension where Chris Onstad lives, today is the 13th.

[Drastic Action]

Wow, when "strip returns wednesday," showed up, I thought for sure I had missed getting a birthday strip this year again.  But no, somehow it shows up in the afternoon.  Coincidentally, I actually just woke up, due to completely crazy time schedule shenanigans going down today, so it almost is like tomorrow already, while still being today.

I love those lyrics.  That is excellent.

Now, I've got to go prepare to take a final.

[melack]

Here, take this good luck can of Dr. Pepper with you to your final. I hope it serves you well.

[Roger]

Suddenly Nice Pete started to sound like Nick Cave in my head. I mean, if you just swap all the Bible references in Cave's lyrics with Tolkien lore.

As to the Lord of the Rings connection, Onstad probably thought of it after looking at Paul's kid picture from yesterday. Just check the poster in the background.
