Tom: So his injuries make him only capable of...shouting?

Joel: [Boromir] Good point! Let's take care of that now, shall we?

Joel: When did Boromir catch consumption?

> "Nay, I do not hate you, Aragorn, not at all."
Tom: [Boromir] Trying to break your neck was just my way of saying "I
care."

Crow: Ooh! Maybe it'll get stuck that way!

> "But you are not a man easily liked. Or loved."
Joel: [Boromir] I know, because I've tried--and failed.
Tom: He does that a lot.

Tom: Uh oh--Aragorn's hearing voices in his head.

Joel: [Aragorn] I keep trying to disbelieve, but, alas, he's still
here.

Tom: [Aragorn] Where I developed that Cockney accent, I'll never know.

Joel: [Boromir] There was a time when I remembered what that word
meant...

>

Joel: Apparently, Aragorn has caught Boromir's stupidity.

Joel: [Boromir] You remembered my birthday! Yay!

Crow: Like a flasher softly chuckles right before he opens the
raincoat?

Tom: Maybe he'll drown in them. And take Boromir with him.

Tom: Yeah--words only spew forth from Boromir's mouth. They never stop
in his head for long.

> so much to be explained.
Joel: It's okay--we don't need the explanation. Really.

couldn't get a single specimen!

Tom: At least they can relate now.

Tom: [Aragorn's mind] I'm outta here. And I doubt I'll be missed.

Crow: I don't think anything I can say is wronger than that, Joel.
Joel: I hear you.
Tom: [Aragorn/Wicked Witch of the West] I'm melting! Melting!

Joel: Doesn't one normally hide behind a wall of happy thoughts, to
keep the pains and worries *out*?
Tom: Aragorn's a sad, sorry future king, ain't he?

Joel: Boromir works like Ben Gay, apparently.
Crow: Well, the "gay" part, anyway.

Tom: [Aragorn] Oops, I inadvertently vaporized Boromir. Oh well.

Joel: She's been desperate for entertainment ever since _Days of Our
Elves_ was cancelled.

laughter.]

Crow: And now we're talking about his shirt...right?

Joel: We've been transported into a bad teen soap opera!
Tom: _90210_. I told you.

Tom: According to what? I can't stand the vagueness.

Joel: Someone should have told him buying junk bonds was a bad
investment.
Tom: That's what he gets for using Elrond as his financial adviser.

Crow: How about "nothing at all"?

Tom: [Aragorn] Until, that is, the implication of "Lover" entered my
consciousness.

Crow: Better look behind you to make sure that's passion you feel,
Aragorn old boy.

> I sat on his lap,
Tom: [Aragorn] And I want a train set and a new bike and a Master Ninja

Tom: Eww, that just ruined the moment. Get some Kaopectate!

Joel: So, like, Aragorn just wanted to have an out-of-body experience.
Tom: No, he wanted to switch bodies, like in _Freaky Friday_.

> Boromir in turn was kissing my ear,
Crow: [Boromir] Your lips taste of ear wax, my love....

>
> When he gently untangled our embrace, I looked at him in irritation,
Tom: [Aragorn] --Finally coming to my senses. No sandwich was worth
this price.

Crow: Wow, he's easy.

> It was Boromir now who started to unlace my shirt,
Joel: How many shirts do these guys have on?

Crow: [Boromir] See, *this* is how you remove a shirt without ruining
it!
>
> Surprisingly, I was not annoyed by his slow pace,
Tom: [Aragorn] As much as I was annoyed by his slow brain.

Joel: Like a puppy, then?

Tom: [Boromir] Gads, you're thin! I should've fed you that sandwich
long ere now!
> It was pleasant, for

Tom: ...just excruciating...

Crow: First time I think lust has been described as a deterrant to
bondage...

Joel: [Aragorn, pouting] Does that mean I don't get the sandwich?
>
> "I thought we said 'no more insults'?"
Tom: Like Boromir can remember that.
>
> "That was a compliment, my dear,
Joel: A backhanded one, but still a compliment.

Crow: [Boromir] But don't tell Legolas I said that.
Tom: He said as beautiful as *man* can be. Legolas is an *elf*.

> He shifted his weight to make him more comfortable, yet trough this

Joel: [Boromir] Drat that Medusa! Knew I shouldn't have looked!

Crow: I'll tell you where it can go, buddy.

Tom: [jealously] How lucky for you, Aragorn!
Crow: Yeah, wish *we* didn't have to think about it.
>
> But the kissing part seemed to be over now, and we both knew it.
Crow: On to second base!

Crow: So his member just now popped in for a visit?
Joel: Don't say "member" and "popped" in the same sentence again, okay?
>
> My movements seemed to be rather inspiring, for Boromir close his eyes

Crow: He's skiing down the Caradhras!
>
> I felt him grow underneath my moving buttocks and it felt good. I

Crow: Aragorn, anybody else who reacted like that and claimed to be a
woman was lying.
Tom: Aragorn's been a loser in _The Crying Game_, apparently.
>
> Then suddenly, Boromir opened his eyes again, breathing heavily, and
> stopped my motion by fixing my hips with his hands.
Tom: That's fortunate--wouldn't want him wandering around with broken
hips.
>
> I looked at him, questioning him, but he just gave me a leering grin,
Tom: When did Boromir turn into Chester the Molester?
Crow: That'd be back with the whole trenchcoat-laugh thing...

>
> "Enough teasing, now, my brother."
Joel: [Aragorn] Excuse me! Do I *look* like Faramir?
> His voice was low and pleasingly

Joel: Better get the Bounty--the quicker picker upper.

> "Let me see what you have to offer!"

Crow: And then he said, with loud surprise/"Why, what a sight has met

Tom: Not only multiple shirts, but multiple pants, too!
Crow: Must be cold in Lothlorien.

Tom: [sings, to the tune of "My Shining Hour"] This is...my shining
member....

Tom: *Slightly* unsettling?
Crow: [sings] Hot dogs/Armour hot dogs...
>
> He bent down, at first stroking my naked tights
Joel: So is Aragorn naked, or is he wearing tights?
Bots: [singing] We're men, manly men, we're men in tights, Yeah!/We
roam around the forest looking for fights....

Tom: [Aragorn, through clenched teeth] You're standing on my area. GET
OFF!

> "Feels alright, doesn't it?", he said with a moronic expression.
Crow: And that's different from his usual expression...how?
>
> "Oh, gods, I could swallow you whole, just to keep you with me."
Tom: Aragorn never got his sandwich, so I bet he's thinking the same
thing right now about Boromir.
>

>
> "And tonight, you are mine, to do with as I please."
Joel: [sings] But will you love me tomorrow?

> And with these words, he swallowed me whole, as he had promised,
Tom: [Aragorn] Unhinging his jaw like a snake.

Joel: Like, totally.

Tom: *Nothing* fazes this guy!
> His moving lips and tongue sent waves of

Joel: Funny, that usually inspires seasickness in me...
Tom: Wait...if a boat's on the shore, it doesn't rock.
Joel: Right. In other words, Aragorn isn't experiencing pleasure.
