Gandalf and Dumbledore are gonna get married!

The above is a link from our Topeka newspaper. Apparently J.K. Rowling made a joking comment about such a union, now that Ireland has legalized same sex marriage. The Westboro Baptist Church responded that they would picket(of course)

But now that a (fake)wedding will be staged right across the street from the WBC they say they won’t picket, that they have other plans. Their church sign does however state that God Hates Ireland and J.K. Rowling.

I realize you liberals think anything goes, butt I agree with the WBC that this is against the will of God, insofar as I don’t think Illuvatar would approve of human/Ainur marriage.

I’m sorry, I can’t consider that a REAL marriage. Not as long as they play at BDSM with the house elves.

Well, of course God hates Ireland. What does that have to do with Jo Rowling, Gandalf, or SSM?

:stuck_out_tongue:

(I want to apologize, as that was quite rude. But it was right there! No, of course God doesn’t hate your wet little island.)

Luthien’s mother was Maia and her husband was Edain. I think Eru is probably OK with it.

The WBC should know better than to meddle in the affairs of wizards.

So an Irish group is going to hold a marriage for two fictional wizards written by British authors to spite a tiny American church/cult.

I really don’t envy the job of the team of Little Green Men tasked with figuring our shit out.

No, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s the gay couple on one side of the street in Topeka trolling the family on the other side, and Ireland comes into just because of the recent referendum on SSM there.

Can’t we get them to meddle in the affairs of dragons instead?

Well, that explains the entire subcontinent collapsing. Evidently he doesn’t have any better aim than Yahweh.

It that the leprechauns or the Great Gazoo?
(Or maybe a certain diminutive Jedi Master?)

By the way, there is this quote

That’s incredible. Who talks like that in real life? Is that from a movie or something?

Dragon’s aren’t that subtle.

The Tolkien estate is just waiting for a single t-shirt to be sold before pouncing.

“I went to Gandalf and Dumbledore’s wedding and all I got was an old ring.”

I’m good with that. There are times when subtlety is overrated.

Typing “do not meddle” into Google gets me (among other things):

a) “Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.” - JRRT

b) “Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.” - original authorship unclear

Hence my wish that WBC would meddle in the affairs of dragons. :smiley:

Gandalf the gay? Who knew?

Neither of them is into rings, I fear. One of them wanted to destroy a fancy antique ring with some cool inscriptions. The other got his hand scarred trying on a ring.

[nerdout]AKSHULLY I think you’ll find Gandalf wore Narya, one of the three rings of power made by (and for) the elves, unsullied by Sauron’s touch. Galadriel and Elrond have the other two.[/no]

But do they still work after the destruction of the fancy ring? They still were able to be dominated by it, so they clearly aren’t completely disconnected.

You know, as a gigantic nerd myself, I’m always in awe when I see a true Master.
