I've been Zardoz'd


Edit: I suppose it's fitting that this is post #666 for me....
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

You know, technically with THIS crowd, an April Fools prank would be going one day out of the year with NOT posting a Zardoz image. :P

See, I know this is a joke, because Zardoz is banned under Geneva Convention rules.

I know a couple guys who could have been hair donors for that wig.

One day I'm going to have to actually watch Zardoz.  You can get the DVD on Amazon for $6.
