This is how you remind me that Nickelback is what would happen if Rush wrote music that rocked.

Rush is, essentially, the smooth jazzeasy listening Nickelback.

I'll add that, irrespective of your feelings on the source material, Postmodern Jukebox's Motown Tribute to Nickelback absolutely slaps

Hottest take- Tolkien blows, and seeing someone start talking about the importance of the Tolkien canon fills me with the same dread as when I hear someone say that I really don’t get why Rush is the bestest band evar.

If you remove the description of the trees the Lord of the Rings becomes a short story.

…just being completely on-brand?

C’mon. What has PROFESSOR TOL-KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN ever done for fantasy literature, anyway?

That story reminds me of a time I was on a city bus as we passed a Vietnamese-French restaurant, and one guy loudly, ignorantly and proudly declared. "That's stupid! People will come up with all kinds of ridiculous things these days. What do France and Vietnam have to do with each other?"

"You'd love feces pizza if only you'd try it..."

No, thanks. Really. I'm good.

"But..."

No.

"See, it's not that someone broke into your house and stole your stuff that's the problem. The real problem is that you don't want people breaking into your house and stealing your stuff. Just be okay with people breaking into your house and stealing your stuff and poof, no problem. Or have you tried not having stuff? Maybe try not having a house."

Nah. I'm gonna stick with the thief being responsible for thieving.

It's not like you to keep this joke going

I don't think I understand why that's even a question. The answer seems obvious.

I feel like this was a Matt Colville diss.

I love Matt Colville's Running the Game series, but his opinions on Lord of the Rings are rough to get through.
