1. One of them looks like a young Erin Grey too...

:evilgrin:

[qnr]

5. If that's the case, I should go look! I've watches snatches of it before

never noticed an Erin Grey type.

[texanwitch]

2. Because he could.

:rofl:

He was famous as Spock.
:shrug:

[Susang]

3. He's almost as bad as Shatner!

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. He also photographs nude women

Among other things.

Some of them are rather... large.

6. wow.

strange. . .

[sundog]

7. i'm confused

what are they throwing in the air from behind the hill?

:shrug:

[qnr]

8. I think it is supposed to represent a great battle. clothes & stuff --but

maybe it is Martians blasting people & hobbits

[sundog]

9. i saw a pair of pants & some trash,

so you're probably right

that's deep

[Susang]

10. I think some fake ears get thrown in the mix

Though I'm not sure, the resolution on my screen wasn't very good. :-(

[Frank Cannon]

22. I personally like the roll of duct tape that serves as a "magic ring"

Looks like Leonard kicked in for the props of this video himself, with shit he found in the back seat of his car.

[HughBeaumont]

11. That's just about the most righteous thing I've ever seen.

Damn it.

[Sonnabend]

12. Oh I'm not so sure....

..the blonde in the yellow jumper was kinda cute :)

[HughBeaumont]

13. You think she can wear those little ears . . .

. . . without much else . . .?

Or would that be just a little odd? :dilemma:

[sakabatou]

14. In retaliation... "ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL!"

[datasuspect]

20. he made a few of them

one of them was "songs from outer space" or something.

i downloaded william shatner's "the transformed man" the other day. that record is COMPELLING to say the least.

[texanwitch]

27. I have that album, in one of the boxes.

I don't have a record player, should get one.

A friend left me a lot LP's that would be great to listen to.

I also have a Laugh In and Dark Shadows LP's.

[datasuspect]

16. i just downloaded "the transformed man"

the other day.

shatner's rendition of "lucy in the sky with diamonds" is stunning. it always leaves me speechless.

[Leopolds Ghost]

21. Is that his spoken-word album?

The rap album, or whatever, that I heard was popular with indy-punk folks?

[datasuspect]

23. actually it's him singing

but he sings very strangely

picture . . . . . . . yourself . . . . on a boat. . . . . . on a riverrrrrrr . . . . . . . . with tangeriiiiine trees and mAAAArmalade skies . . . . . . . .

[Susang]

25. That was so beautiful!

I am left both shocked and awed. :wow:

[Leopolds Ghost]

28. Here are the lyrics, so fans can sing along at home

(DJ: bad animated movie version)

(One... ring... to rule them all...)

(Da black ridas, yo!)

Hobbiton, it’s on!!!

I’m Quickbeam with the masterplan
I’m Bombadil with the mic in ma hand!
We’re Lords of the Rhymes from a far off land!
And We’ll Rock this joint with a hobbit band.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the greatest hobbit of them all
(Bilbo, Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins he’s only 3 feet tall)

Well my name is Gimli
I’m a muthaf**kin' dwarf !
I been slaying mutherf**kers
from the south to the north
That ain’t Mirkwood I’m choppin with my battleaxe!
I’m on an orc stampede like Shadowfax!

Now all you Boffins-and-Bolgers,
Bracegirdles-and-Proud-feet
I’m the skinny hobbit with all the phat beats
My name is Merry and I’m five feet tall !
I used to f**k shit up at Brandybuck hall!
My man Bilbo’s older than Gerontius Took
Yeah you can read about it in the big Red Book.

Quickbeam on the scene
All the elf girls scream
Like a tree, That’s me
I Like to keep it green.
It’s the chronic pipeweed that I’m smokin'
When I get high I spin tales like To'kien

Well I’m a little hobbit short and stout !
I got the f*ckin beats that'll turn-you-out!
I’ll light you up like Longbottom leaf.
cause the orcs smoke the shwag, but we got the kief.

I’m Quickbeam with the master plan
And I’m Bombadil with the mic in ma hand
We’re Lords of the Rhymes from a far off land!
And We’ll Rock this joint with a hobbit band.

Yo Beam, Yo Dil
It’s time to get ill !!!
We light up the mic like a Sil-maril
Frodo’s on the lam with Pippin and Sam
But you can call him “Underhill.”

Yo, I named the nameless hills and dells.
And I drank from yet un-tasted wells!
I'm mad off the hook, just like a Numenorean!
I got more rhymes than there’s leaves in Lothlorien.

Yo, I’m harder than a Mithril coat.
A hundred is the number of the orcs I smote!
I battled Helms Deep and I took Minas Tirith
If you don’t watch out, I’ll make your ass dissappeareth.

He’s Smeagol, not Deagol
He step up to the mic, he look regal
He’s mean, he’s green,
Gollum beat-box like you never seen.

Go Gollum! Go Gollum! Go Gollum!

I’m Quickbeam with the master plan
And I’m Bombadil with the mic in ma hand!
We’re Lords of the Rhymes from a far off land!
And We’ll Rock this joint with a hobbit band.

My rhymes are hotter than the cracks of doom.
The orcs got bass, but we got boom.
Me and Dil be rockin rooms
From the Misty Mountains to the Gulf of Lhun.

I’m Bombadil and I’ll gladly sing
I got the song for everything
I got the number for Old Man Willow
Bright blue my jacket is and my boots are yellow.

Elbereth Gilthoniel !
we still remember we who dwell.
On the this far land beneath the trees
Thy starlight on the Western seas.
A Elbereth Gilthoniel!
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-díriel!

(Which means…)

Elf booty got soul!
Elf girls like to rock ’n’ roll!

Elf booty got soul!
Elf girls like to rock ’n’ roll!

(Peace out, yo! Peace between dwarves and elves!)

26. Sometimes I wish I was a celebrity, just to cut a bad record...

I would have to do a house and or speed metal version of 'Harper Valley PTA' or something. Something just so incongruent and lame that commercial radio forces people to listen to...like Paris Hilton did.
