tirlaeyn: Umm Legolas and Gimli dealing with the modern day and Darcy Lewis would be cracktastic gold.
It was supposed to be Darcy Lewis’ silly little twist on the new tradition of the Elf on the Shelf. He had is own grumpy little Dwarf friend! It was cute, it was kitschy, it drove Stark up the wall–all good things, in Darcy’s not so humble opinion.
But either someone’s lost control of their magic spell, or maybe it’s a Christmas Miracle, because one morning Darcy comes out to find her Elf and Dwarf a little more… real.
(Her inner twelve year old that’s still in love with Legolas is squeeing.)
God I hope I am immortalised by my husband for having 40 cats
Fun facts:
It cost $5,000 in 1888 to have this painting made, which is more than $120,000 in today’s money.
I say 1888 because it took three years for Kahler to complete, reportedly because he spent most of the time studying and sketching each cat to get a feel for their personality.
It was painted for Kate Johnson, the title was her husband’s idea though, proving him the most patient and good-humored husband in the history of crazy cat ladies.
Speaking of cat ladies, the picture actually contains 42 cats. Or more specifically, Mrs. Johnson’s 42 most favorite cats. She had 350 in total.
It sold at auction via Sotheby’s a few days ago for over $800,000 dollars, vastly more than its $200,000-$300,000 estimate.
Is it ‘nano ree (rhymes with tree) mo’ or ‘nano rye (rhymes with eye) mo’?
I always pronounce it ‘ree’ even though it probably should be ‘rye’. But then it took me years to stop pronouncing meme “mem–ee” so don’t listen to me.
Lol I said ‘me me’ for the longest time. Actually until I heard it spoken on Doctor Who of all things! So I do say 'meem’ now.
It is difficult to get out of a pronunciation habit though. I had to retrain myself on how to say 'Legolas’ when the lotr movies premiered.
