  1. I admit it; I vanity-clicked until I hit one of the ones I submitted. (Which just served to remind me how gosh-darned clever the folks here are…)

  2. Sorry, much too late and i haven’t even read it all.
    I literally just yesterday started to hear A Canticle For Leibowitz, where I’ve had a suspicion who likes it a lot, with eloi/simpletons and all.
    “I, for one, am very glad to see fandom standing fast upon this bridge, facing the Balrog with those immortal words that nobody here needs me to repeat.”
    – Fantastic Leibowitz cosplay!

  3. @Ginger: certainly, and I’ll then display the categories and the eventual winners on my site, and link to yours to inform users (viewers? surfers?) of the vote.

  4. “I, for one, am very glad to see fandom standing fast upon this bridge, facing the Balrog with those immortal words that nobody here needs me to repeat.”

    In the end, it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God’s creatures, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

  5. I may have been listening to a live recording of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds on the way home from work, and it put that gag from Futurama in my head.

  6. Gandalf’s memorable words, perhaps for the last time…

    Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete. Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball. If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing green substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space. Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Discontinue use of Happy Fun Ball if any of the following occurs: Itching, vertigo, dizziness, tingling in extremities, loss of balance or coordination, slurred speech, temporary blindness, profuse sweating, or heart palpitations. Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin. Do not taunt or annoy Happy Fun Ball.

  7. One more:

    You know something, you’re wasted here; have you considered a career in HR?

    Before the Puppies came, we didn’t speak so much of certain things.

  11. Gandlaf’s memorable words

    For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is Gandalf? This is Gandalf speaking. I am the Istari who loves Middle Earth. I am the wizard who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am he who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing—you who dread knowledge—I am the wise one who will now tell you…

  12. OMG, I just clicked the above link to Teemu’s Magic Balrog 8-ball Website, and the entry it produced was…

    … the only one I had submitted.

    That is some serious web-fu you’ve got going there, Teemu.

  13. @JJ

    That is some serious web-fu you’ve got going there, Teemu.

    Sometimes my powers amaze even me!
