This thread can be seen as a thinly veiled swooning thread, a horrific stepchild of a certain "horror" thread involving alphabets, an abberation of the monthly threads, an osgilliation of the Osgilliate Dictionary, or something new. I see it as simply a dictionary of common and uncommon words, in which the illustration has something to do with hobbits. The "illustration" can be a picture, screen cap, drawing, poem, quote from the Book, quote from the Movie, fanfic, diatribe, or whatever. If it is remotely connected with hobbits or certain actors that have in the past or might in the future play hobbits, that's fine with me. I'm an eclectic pervy hobbit fancier. Foreign words are welcome as well, and foreign alphabets, if they show up as the same letter, consistantly, on all screens.

In general, I'll change the letter about once a week, and change the title.

There are so many good A words, though, it might take two weeks, like angst, abduct, appetite, abhorrent, absurd, abysmal, ale, apprehension, actor, action, adornment, attention deficit disorder, age, art, architecture, ambivalence, ambience, achondroplasia ....

I'll start now with my first entry, but the screen cap will have to wait until I get home tonite.

A is for assuage

assuage [from the Latin "to sweeten"] to lessen pain or distress.

(Insert photo of Frodo pausing after finishing his last entry in the Red Book.)
Frodo finally realizes that nothing here in the Shire will assuage his pain.

OK, it's angsty, but I like ansgty hobbits!

Apples. Hobbitses loves Apples. And Ale. They also have quite an Appetite and they Assuage ;) their hunger with Assorted, Appetizing, Ambrosial, Abundant, Aliments

Aliment: (from Latin, to nourish) 1.)anything that nourishes; food 2.) means of support; necessity vt. to supply with aliment; nourish

Liddy? :scratch

I never got the pic posted, and I am parted from my dear DVDs at the moment. So let's have another week of "A". How about some absurd haiku?

A is for apple
Red-cheeked hobbits consume them
Superior fruit

Sorry, can't think. There's high-decibel Bob Dylan in the background. :P
