Loved all the dunking on evolutionists. But also enjoyed asking Doug why God answers Job with animals, what James's worst creature was, and why Nate is a prolific pet owner when his dad isn't. Go watch the new episodes of Riot and the Dance on Canon+!

@walterkirn Now wondering if there's irony in the "ferreting/fettering" spoonerism in her vaunted Racket mission statement.

Tom Bombadil stops the story cold. We are in an exciting cross-country trip as the hobbits pick their way through a creepy haunted forest to avoid the sinister Black Riders. A terrifying black huorn ensnares them. Poof! Here comes Tom deus-ex-machina Bombadil to save the hobbits from a threat which Tolkien seems to have created to give him an excuse to insert Bombadil. Then, just as the story starts to move again, Tom shows up a SECOND time as a deus-ex-machina to rescue the hobbits from the barrow wight. Ugh. Again stopping the story cold. What is Bombadil's function? He doesn't represent the Old Good Ways which the fellowship must save. Bombadil isn't threatened - he's a cheesy distraction. I'm not saying it's impossible to convince me that Bombadil is a Good Thing, but such a convincing would be an uphill battle, and I view Tom as one of Tolkien's missteps. I am happy Jackson left him out of the film, because it would have stopped the movie's flow too.

@poleprojekt @SandyofCthulhu @crwiley1962 Tolkien's effacing. Wiley has figured out this "important" clue: "[Tom] represents something that I feel *important, though I would not be prepared to analyze the feeling precisely. I would not, however, have left him in, if he did not have some kind of function." ~ Letters, 178

@bkingkohl @SandyofCthulhu @crwiley1962 “In historical fact, I put him in because I had already ‘invented’ him independently (he first appeared in Oxford Magazine) and wanted an ‘adventure’ on the way. Bombadil just came into my mind independently and got swept into the growing stream of The Lord of the Rings.” J.R.R.
