I ran across a bit of silliness from way back when, during a discussion of the first movie, FotR, and mention of Saurman's "uber-orc" (so wonderfully coined by The Big Sleep J:-). I thought I might repost it in this Tolkien humour thread:
-----------------------------------
...There were even rumours of a more radical-styled orc being bred down in the caverns below Orthanc - a sort of peace-nik orc breed who wear tie-dyed shirts and pony tails and beards and smoke funny cigarettes and never take baths. In fact, there was reportedly a giant concert not far from Orthanc called Fangornstock where half a million orcs gathered for three days of outdoor music and dancing naked in the rain. All the big names were there performing and Gollum Joe and the Fish had the crowds ranting with "Give me a 'U' - give me an 'R' - give me a 'U' - give me a 'K'. What's that spell? 'URUK!' What's that spell? 'URUK!' before launching into a rendition of his song "Fixin' to Hai Rag". It was a grand success, but they tried to recreate the love-in atmosphere with Fangornstock II down at Helm's Deep, and it just wasn't the same. They say it was because the Hurons crashed the party and ruined it the party-animal atmosphere, but no one knows for sure.
