Susan from Stony River, welcomes us to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints just 140 characters.
If you’d like to join us, stop by Susan’s, pick up the picture prompt,
compose your story in 140 character (or less), post it,
and sign in at Susan’s place, then commence in the sharing!
This week’s offering is actually from my Amoeba:
“Orcs, dang it, Orcs! We needed Aragorn for the plot of this movie!”
Well after finding out what Aragron it made sense and was great. I’m assuming that the Tolkiens movies/books that they are talking about a winged horse. Anyway it is a good one and gave me a good chuckle.
Happy Memorial Day :0
Thom — there were several dragons in Tolkein’s books. The most famous one was Smaug.
Sometimes casting just can’t get it right, can they?
Tony — well, they certainly shouldn’t have cast a hungry dragon!
You see what a difference a typo makes…Mine is a homage to Friends and not a rip off! My Twitter story
John — is there a typo here? I couldn’t find it. And I never watch friends so I would have never known the difference.
I wouldn’t have thought of that angle. Very nice!
Barbara — thanks, I wouldn’t have either, but Amoeba popped it right out!
LOL. I love Amoeba’s take on this photo. Aragorn is definitely a must in the plot. It wouldn’t be the same without him. Take good care and have a wonderful week
Rosidah — Aragorn was rather vital to the success of the mission, wasn’t he?
Oops! Burp!
Well, Hollywood re-writes good books into terrible movies all the time, so perhaps Orcs was just being “creatively hungry.”
Well done! (or perhaps medium rare?)
Kelley – -oh dear. You, too? An orc is a gruesome creature created by evil to destroy man. The dragon isn’t named orcs, he is supposed to be eating them!
where is georgianne walken when you need her?
Tilden — looking for gangsters?
I had to click the link as well, before I got it. Yes casting is what makes a good movie better.
Bill — I didn’t think there was anyone in the world who didn’t know Tolkein’s work.
I love love Aragon. Good idea to tie this picture to Tolkein.
Casting can make or brake any adventure.
Have a nice rest of your Holdiay weekend.
Peggy — yes, and eating costars can cause some problems. too.
D’oh!!
I burst out laughing and the kids came running — time to watch LOTR yet again (or better yet, read it, as soon as we get some beds for bedtime!)
Susan – -what?! No beds? How/where are you all sleeping?
Love Aragon! What a great take of the pic of the day! Casting is everything!! What a hoot! Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend, Quilly!

Sylvia — the dragon loved Aragorn, too. Said he was quite tasty, even.
simple words,
magical implications..
i posted mine.
Jingle — you didn’t get it either, huh?
Those darn dragons are so uncooperative.
Here I thought my problem was adolescence, maybe I’m raising a dragon,
hmmmm…
Logo — are you thinking of asking the dragon to light a fire under your boys? LOL!
ouch! perhaps they should have fed the dragon first.
i don’t remember tolkien mentioning aragorn being mistaken for lunch
Great angle to the picture this week Quilly – I like it!
