Fragments From Floyd

Dave Barry offers a valuable contribution in his review of LOTR II, wondering

"Why can't they just lose the ring in the sink?"

The PLOT all came together for me when I read his 'simplified screenplay'.

Dave now has his own blog, by the way. I consider Mr. Barry a peer. At least age-wise. He is, as Jane Fitch recently phrased it, of that "Certain Age" that gives him an air of sagacious nobility, don't you think?

Mr. Barry was born in 1947, a very good year for sagacity, which I will also assume, by chronological proximity. Dave's my hero 'cause he's a year older than me. Its getting harder and harder to find someone with those qualifications these days. Not only is he older, but he is in an ever smaller minority worthy of awe... a man older than me who has a new blog. He says he had an old blog that was powered by kerosene. I swear I'm not making this up!
