Couldn't agree more. As a rule, message board guy tends to wear jerseys way too long in life and be way down the snappy dresser list somewhere between pizza delivery guy and random guy at Bass Pro Shop.

I'm a hobbit guy. Back in the 1970s there was nothing to do, so I'd read the Lord of the Rings by the time I was 10. By the time I was 14 I read the Silmarillion, a bunch of Tolkien's unfinished stuff, etc. Weirdly, I still seem to remember it all. You ever want to have an in-depth discussion about where the Elves came from or what manner of being Sauron is supposed to be, I'm your man.

Anyway, the boy and I will go see the new Hobbit movie, of course, but (much to his annoyance) not on weekend #1. We'll go over the Christmas holiday sometime.

Count me out of the LOTR and The Hobbit crowd. I saw the first LOTR movie and thought it was decent, but then fell asleep about 30 minutes into the second one because it was so boring and never watched any more of the series. Just not really my style.

I've wondered many times how anybody who didn't read the books before turning 15 could have any idea or care what the hell is going on. Apparently some people do though.

That must be a big part of it. Just about everyone I know who's into the movies talks about reading the books as a kid. I didn't ever read them, so that probably explains why the movies aren't for me.

Believe me, if I could wipe the part of my brain that remembers all that crap about the elves and replace it with something useful like, say, Chinese vocabulary, I would. I read those books in elementary school, but I probably remember them better than I do my own college years.

I'm like this too with sports info. If someone put me on the spot and asked me to name all the champions of every sport from 1990-2000, I could rattle them off without hesitation. On the other hand, if someone put me on the spot and asked me to name the champions of every major sport over the past 3-5 seasons, I would almost certainly miss some of them.
