I don't know if everyone's seen this little animation already, but I thought I'd share it just in case. It always cracks me up. :grin:

By the time they came for me, I had all the support a man could ask for.”

heh, that was priceless, especially the stares at the end :lol:
Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!

I actually laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes. Image
I watched it three times and I'm still laughing. Image
My family thinks I'm a blithering idiot, b/c it's been like 5 minutes and I'm still laughing. Image

I can't see to type because I'm laughing so hard. That is brilliant!

My husband and I just watch it over and over and over...giggling harder the farther it goes.

I'm still laughing! Make it stop! Now I've got my little brother laughing about it too. Hah! Our numbers are growing. The whole world will be laughing hysterically with us before we are done! Image

I saw that one and there are others like it--I saw a bunch of them a year ago. It seems your dear Sean Bean is VERY fun to make into a joke, Shadowland!! That's one of the best though. I love the Ninja Wizards, and the bears with laserbeams coming out of their eyes.

There are more of them? Spoofs, I mean, not Elven ninjas.
