Hey, it’s OK to be loosey-goosey with the first line of a limerick, as long as the last word ryhmes and the rest of the poem follows the syllabic rules. And are you one to quibble after after rhyming Nantucket and Strumpet? Heathen! 😛 Let’s try this: **"The RIAA then served her notice"** ---

I’ll resurrect the OP I was looking for when I opened this thread (I’m not saying I didn’t appreciate the limerick, because I did :D) “Hey, does anyone know when the Two Towers Extended DVD is coming out? Is it, like, going to have any cool additional stuff, like about the Ents and stuff?” ---

Even though I am prety sure the answer is “No” from the responses in a thread I posted last week I’ll ask this again just to be sure now that people actually have it in their possesion. Did you receive free admission voucher to ROTK with the EE-DVD? You’d think I could wait till tomorrow to find out for myself but its been bugging me. ---
