There was a link here a while ago for a set of screen shots from the LOTR with hilarious captions… It was some blog page, I believe. I’ve put the search engine through its paces but can’t seem to find anything (well I probably could but you try searching for one specific LOTR thread among the millions here). Anyone remember it, and still have the link?

The one I remember most clearly is Boromir proposing a few interesting approaches to getting the Ring to Mt Doom…

I remember those. I think the site that was originally linked to here is gone, but I found my favorite one by searching for “lotr animated gif mortor”.

Here’s one [link](http://s115787710.onlinehome.us/kenmitchell.net/video.html)

- One does not simply… walk into Mortor…
- Mordor.
- What?
- It’s “Mordor”. With a “D”.
- One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Heh heh.

That’s the link you’re looking for. Here’s the thread:

> **[That is the funniest d\*mn Weird Earl EVER!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=311972)**

> Serious, kids. If you haven’t checked out the Weird Earl on the front page of the site you’re missing one of the things that makes like worth living. “Give up the Ring, short stuff!”

Interestingly, you were the last to post to it. 🙂

Do you mean badly translated captions? If so, here they are:
