Dave Scott, October 2006
Now that I've beat this subject to death, I promise my next post will be about something that amuses more people than merely myself.

About Me
- Dave Scott
- I am now embroiled in my 11th year of higher education, continuing my never-ending study of theology/religion. I am in the ABD phase of doctoral work in the Joint Ph.D. program offered by the Iliff School of Theology and the University of Denver. My ultimate career goal is to teach theology or philosophy at the college or graduate level.

I laughed really loud and hard.
That was a surprise.
You are not a behemoth.
Quit disparaging yourself.
I miss you, and you are funny.
Quit being so far away!
Ok, so I laughed so hard people were staring at me. It's in my nature. Still, funny stuff.
From where did the troll picture come?
I'm glad the cave troll picture is getting such big laughs. I'd actually tired to put it at the end of my Moby Dick post, but Blogger wasn't cooperating that day (cf. "You Got Lucky").
Am I being self-effacing? Most certainly. Am I really thinking that much less of myself because of the extra love in my handles? Not really. I've always found fatiness to be a humorous topic. But if you're going to joke about someone being fatty, it's always safest to joke about yourself.
As for the photo, I found it using Google Image Search. I think this giant model of the troll was part of LOTR exhibit in Wellington, New Zealand. Wouldn't it be hilarious if that was a permanent fixture in some public square? It may very well be knowing how proud the Kiwis are of Peter Jackson.
