Damn that’s a good trick, especially if you can change the varietals and wine style on the fly so that the kitchen tap delivers precisely the right pairing for each course! Combine oenological expertise with the ability to work miracles, and you’ve got yourself a sommelier who can freelance anywhere and name his own price!
Not really. His dad is dead, but it is written that at Halloween he completes the trinity by coming around as a ghost and drinking Jesus’s Macallan.
The Holy Grail is the Holy Grail of Holy Grails.
Look … I understand your fondness for Gandalf … but there is another side to the story.
It was just a small misunderstanding that lead to a minor industrial accident and if everyone had stayed calm and NOT FREAKED OUT … then maybe the whole island of Númeror wouldn’t have sank. So I just don’t see how we can objectively say this is all Sauron’s fault. Maybe if everyone had just listened and obeyed then things wouldn’t have turned out so badly.
Or a serial killer. 
He just wanted to turn water into wine?
Yeah … that’s the ticket … and a cure for childhood cancer too …
Bad translation, I’m sure. In most (Christian) languages, the word for “Easter” is the same as the word for “Passover”.
Yes, in Spanish and Valenciano they’re both called Pascua, a name which in fact refers to multiple High Holidays. Aslo one of those things nobody mentions in ESL class (religion didn’t get mentioned at all, in my over 12 years of taking lessons).
A piece of information for anybody looking at pictures of the Valencia cup and going “oh, no way!”: the cup is not what’s supposed to be the Grail, but only the top bowl and the dish which now acts as the foot. The jeweled decorations are a known add-on, I’m just feeling lazy about looking up which king of Aragon had them added.
And most of the stuff Cecil mentions in his article has never been part of the local stories about the bowl-and-dish set, it’s supposed to be the one Jesus used in the Last Supper but no miraculous properties or anything, for once. Just a historically-important bowl.
[hangs head in shame] … yeah yeah yeah … my bad …
I think it was Bilbo in Chapter 6.
Just make sure it’s the true Holy Grail, or your flesh will start to melt if you drink out of it.
If you choose… poorly.
Father makes Industry.
Son makes Agriculture.
Spirit makes rest.
Not all that confusing…
Since we’re talking about making:
The Father has the Idea,
The Son does the Work, and
The Spirit sits in the audience’s seat and watches the show to be sure everything works.
Judging from this thread, the one who married Arwen, right?
