This is an audio recording of J.R.R. Tolkien reciting his poem Namárië in the Elvish language he created. I dunno, I thought he kind of sounds like a leprechaun. Which, for the record, do exist, but don't hide pots of gold. They do steal children in the middle of the night though -- that part's true.

Hit the jump for the video, then let's all run around in the woods throwing pine cones and hitting each other with sticks.

Thanks to McMan, who claims he created his own language but it sounds suspiciously like he's just burping.

    August 24, 2012
    This is the 50,000+ piece diorama of Lord Of The Ring's elf haven Rivendell built by LEGOManiacs Blake Baer and Jack Bittner. The 30" x 40" piece weighs 120 pounds and took over 600 years to build. Well, that's just my guesstimate, but I've never lost one of those 'guess how ... / Continue →
  • Bookstore Stacks Hobbit/LOTR Boxed Sets Into Barad-Dûr
    December 4, 2012
    This is shot from some bookstore that decided to pay an employee to stack a bunch of Hobbit/LOTR boxed sets into Barad-Dûr. It kind of looks like a safety hazard to me though, which is why I have every intention of pulling one from the bottom of the tower, getting buried under... / Continue →
  • New Zealand Weatherman Delivers Forecast In Elvish

  • Why don't you spell his name properly in the title of the article? Kind of rude isn't it?

    “Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, long years numberless as the
    wings of trees! The long years have passed like swift draughts of the
    sweet mead in lofty halls beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of
    Varda wherein the stars tremble in the song of her voice, holy and
    queenly. Who now shall refill the cup for me? For now the Kindler,
    Varda, the Queen of the Stars, from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her
    hands like clouds, and all paths are drowned deep in shadow; and out of a
    grey country darkness lies on the foaming waves between us, and mist
    covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever. Now lost, lost to those from
    the East is Valimar! Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar! Maybe even
    thou shalt find it! Farewell!”

    This was pretty impressive, I would like to get the English translation of this.
    I too have a poem of my own: "Klaatu verata nicto, requestu o' skeleta danco"
    -- Hopefully this will make the army of the dead will perform the skeleton dance.
