super cute i have the same pair ! <| sep |> Nej nu jvlar ! <| sep |> Nothing can ever be real communism because the idea itself is fiction . <| sep |> A sheet of fabric softener held down with a rubber band placed further down the stream from the hair dryer would probably work . They hold up to heat well enough in a dryer . <| sep |> Tom Bombadil is Tom BombadilLetters of Tolkien Tom Bombadil , thespirit of the vanishing Oxford and Berkshire countrysideAnd even in a mythical Age there must be some enigmas , as there always are . Tom Bombadil is one intentionally . Tom Bombadil is not an important person to the narrative . I suppose he has some importanceas a ' comment '. I mean , I do not really write like that he is just an invention who first appeared inthe Oxford Magazine about 1933 , and he represents something that I feel important , though Iwould not be prepared to analyze the feeling precisely . I would not , however , have left him in , if hedid not have some kind of function . I might put it this way . The story is cast in terms of a good side , and a bad side , beauty against ruthless ugliness , tyranny against kingship , moderated freedom withconsent against compulsion that has long lost any object save mere power , and so on but both sidesin some degree , conservative or destructive , want a measure of control . but if you have , as it weretaken ' a vow of poverty ', renounced control , and take your delight in things for themselves withoutreference to yourself , watching , observing , and to some extent knowing , then the question of therights and wrongs of power and control might become utterly meaningless to you , and the means ofpower quite valueless . It is a natural pacifist view , which always arises in the mind when there is awar . But the view of Rivendell seems to be that it is an excellent thing to have represented , but thatthere are in fact things with which it cannot cope and upon which its existence nonethelessdepends . Ultimately only the victory of the West will allow Bombadil to continue , or even tosurvive . Nothing would be left for him in the world of Sauron .
