A New (Cooler) Holiday
A recent tweet from a really cool guy caught my eye (and brain).
Seriously, the basic concept is the same. Let's compare:Why do we have an official holiday for the death and reanimation of a fictional character? I say we start one for Gandalf.
- Fictional character Jesus dies as a sacrifice (in our place), battles a fiery baddie (Satan) and is brought back to life by higher powers (God) to kick ass once again.
- Fictional character Gandalf dies as a sacrifice (in the Fellowship of the Ring's place), battles a fiery baddie (the balrog) and is brought back to life by higher powers (the Valar) to kick ass once again.
- People don't use Gandalf as an excuse for their hatred and bigotry against others, and
- Gandalf has a much cooler beard.

That is an AWESOME IDEA, and also, my word verification is "phugnerp," which is just utterly the best thing I've seen all day. I am going to name my secondborn child Phugnerp, so everyone better hope I never get preggo again! :D
