flaflwrgrl, I though the video of the three bears was funny, Ranger Rick had a very keen sense of humor.

I tried reading the Hobbit when I was younger, but couldn't get through it. After I'd read some Terry Brooks (Shanara series) and Samuel R. Donaldson (Thomas Covenant), I ate them up and love it.
