I've cried a thousand oceans, and I would cry a thousand more if that's what it takes to sail you home.

Honestly, why haven't we all just moved there?

The second one seems oddly-photoshopped for a place full of natural beauty.

Caras Galadhon is the greatest thing in the world - except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is lean and the tomato is ripe.




I wanna move there now. :love: :love: :love:

I think a moot in NZ would be perfect, sometime in 2011, maybe December. :heya: We can stay at this tree house.

I still say, agreeing with an idea someone (sorry, can't remember who :oops: ) brought up at the Chicago m00t that we should do a longterm plan for a New Zealand m00t in 2014-15 or thereabouts.

It gives enough time to save money for such a big trip, even for people who don't have much of an income. Plus, since it's a few years away, dates could be set now. That means that there wouldn't be people saying, "oh, I can't do that date," because, really, who has plans for a specific set of dates 4-5 years from now?

Come on people :poke: You know it's a good idea :heya:

The second one, and possibly the first, are meant to be extremely bad. There's a character in Flight of the Conchords who works in the New Zealand tourist industry...

(Also, architectu!gasm).

I don't need to go to New Zealand...

I have found Caras Galadhon only 10 miles from my house...:love:

That's what I'm afraid of, too.

who says we have to come back?

The Tolkien commune opens in NZ in 2011, bring you own Tolkien.

Pretty, but it looks like bugs would be a problem.

It will be like one long camping trip. We'll all smell lovely. ;)

When everybody smells like shit, you quit noticing it after a while.

Trust me on this. :Wooper:

I'll be up for a NZ trip when I'm settled back home. It'd be a fairly small trip for me.

And when you do notice, you assume it's yourself you're smelling.
