Man Sues Chatroom "Pals" For Online FlamingI might have to shut this site down: Mike Marlowe fully admits that he sometimes gave George Gillespie a hard time in that AOL chatroom. Very Belated Hat-Tip: I posted this while trying to get through to Dell, and forgot to say it came from SWOOD. posted by Ace at 03:13 PM
CommentsAce, I'm sorry I keep calling so many of your posts "old." Please don't sue me, I have a big mouth to feed. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 12, 2006 03:19 PM
F*ck You ALL! I am going to sue everyone for destroying my liberal world viewpoint and thus causing my current state of cognitive dissonance! This&That Posted by: This&That on January 12, 2006 03:19 PM
I love you guys..... Posted by: Red Jode on January 12, 2006 03:30 PM
I just want to go on record as saying that I think everyone posting here (PLV, He who shall not be named, etc included) are really nice people and would never, ever suggest otherwise. (Even if they are somehow deficient in logic or reasoning ability, as so many of my excellent acquaintances here that belong to the Left side of the political spectrum are) And if I have suggested from time to time that they should "perform a physical impossibility", have had a "rectal cranial inversion" or provide me with a sexual favor that involves a homo-erotic act involving their mouth; it has been in a jocular, non-serious vein. And of course if I have suggested to some of the ladies that post that I would enjoy having sexual relations (whatever that "is") with them, it was just in fun. Last but not least, I think Ace is the "best blogger in the word never to have received a screenplay contract" and revere him above all others. (Did I cover them all?)

Posted by: angler on January 12, 2006 03:32 PM
Gillespie threatened to kill him and "made sick and disgusting remarks about the passing of my grandmother." Hey Gillespie, thanks for the ideas! *waits for flame war* Posted by: Michael on January 12, 2006 03:32 PM
A generation ago, such petty personal beefs might have been settled with fists outside the corner bar, . . . How about we all agree to a time and place and bring our weapons of choice? Posted by: shawn on January 12, 2006 03:34 PM
There's a difference between good-natured chaffing (even of the vulgar stripe) and hostile brow-beating. When I bust on people here (even the lefty trolls), I hope it's apparent when a joke is intended. Example: bbeck, Lipstick, and Lauraw (and sometimes Sparkle) take shots from us guys. Often, these shots are vulgar. However, they seem to know they are among friends, and I try never to cross the line into a hurtful kind of vulgarity. One of the things I like about the comments here is that while the conversation gets bawdy, it's always pretty good natured. But I've seem other places (like USENET) where to langauge gets not just nasty but outright abusive. Lots of the stuff on Kos and DU strike me that way as well. This however is more a question of manners that a matter for litigation. Other than suing someone for libel (which is unlikely to succeed), what grounds would you have for suing someone over a posting made on an Internet forum? "Judge, give me a million dollars because this person made me feel bad!" I just make me glad to be a poster here at Ace's, where it's always about the love. Posted by: Monty on January 12, 2006 03:34 PM
True. Always about the love. Except when it's about the flame war. You miserable bastards. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 03:37 PM

Yeah, it's all about the love. Brewfan, would you prefer to receive service of process at home or at work? Posted by: Michael on January 12, 2006 03:56 PM
We could sue, Ace, but what would we get? His lifetime supply of Value-rite vodka? Posted by: carin on January 12, 2006 04:17 PM
Good thing Alonzo Mourning can't even spell subpoena or I'd have to move this party to Belize. Posted by: spongeworthy on January 12, 2006 04:18 PM
OMG! LOL! I was gonna say "Boy, is Monty in trouble." But I see he has safely covered his ass. ;-) Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 04:27 PM
I just have this to say. Jack...Michael - I love you both. I may not show it at times. Ok ok, I *never* show it. I have this wall, you see...? Oh hell, nevermind...sue me. Posted by: What Happens Here, Stays Here on January 12, 2006 04:29 PM
But I see he has safely covered his ass. I prefer to think of it as a "clarification of intent". That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. Posted by: Monty on January 12, 2006 04:31 PM

However, they seem to know they are among friends, and I try never to cross the line into a hurtful kind of vulgarity. So very true. Although, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I'd pay real money to see RightWingSparkle naked. Posted by: Don't sue me on January 12, 2006 04:32 PM

Me, I want the Lovely Vixens of Ace of Spades HQ to know: I am *always* always available for your pleasure and entertainment. Free moustache rides begin at 7:00, line forms to the left. . . Cheers, P.S. When's that flame war again? Not this weekend, I hope. . . I'll be busy bangin' Ace's grandma. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 12, 2006 04:37 PM
Now can't you kids just learn to get along here? Even those mean left-wingers are serious about privacy. How about one of you doing it like he did, but use an example like he did: someone from YOUR SIDE. Classy move. You kids can learn something there. Posted by: tubino's grandmother on January 12, 2006 04:41 PM
The hell you will, beeee-otch. Posted by: Ace's Grandma on January 12, 2006 04:41 PM
Wait, wait, wait. While we're trying to be all nice, I want to say something. I'm gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send Posted by: Ron Burgundy on January 12, 2006 04:47 PM
Me, I want the Lovely Vixens of Ace of Spades HQ to know: I am *always* always available for your pleasure and entertainment. That gives me an idea. To hell with t-shirts. A "Lovely Vixens of Ace of Spades HQ" calendar would make you some truly crazy blog money. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 04:48 PM
Don't sue me, There was at time when my bod might have lived up to your expectations, but that time is long past. I aint bad and I aint fat, but 4 kids and 4 decades does a number on the best of us. I suppose I should be flattered, but I've learned the internet has much lower standards than the real world. ;-) Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 04:49 PM
I suppose I should be flattered, but I've learned the internet has much lower standards than the real world. This just means you're just not hanging out in the right dive-bars, RWS. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 12, 2006 04:52 PM
I've already begun preparing several suits against those bloggers whose behavior has left me an emotional wreck, including: INDCBill SEE YOU BASTARDS IN COURT!! Posted by: TallDave on January 12, 2006 04:55 PM
There was at time when my bod might have lived up to your expectations, but that time is long past. Don't be too hard on yourself, RWS. I'm sure a calendar featuring you and our small (and brave) set of female posters would sell quite well. If nothing else, it would sell a lot better than a "Men of Ace of Spades HQ" calendar. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 04:56 PM
There was at time when my bod might have lived up to your expectations, but that time is long past. I think we'd have to be the judge of that, Sparkle. It's esthetics, you undersand; to hear of the artwork is not enough, it must be seen to be appreciated. It is the basis upon which Western culture is based. So if you love Western culture, you know what to do. Posted by: Monty on January 12, 2006 04:56 PM
Speaking of T-shirts, you might get into some interesting conversations wearing a shirt which says: I ♥ Spurwing Plover (Thanks, NathanB, for that HTML code link.) It could also have a picture of a spur-winged plover. Posted by: sandy burger on January 12, 2006 04:58 PM
My black leather stiletto-heeled boots and I are going to stay out of this one. Posted by: Mrs. Peel on January 12, 2006 05:00 PM
That's right, RWS. If you don't pose in a revealing outfit for the AoS Calendars the terrorists will have won. Posted by: Jack M. on January 12, 2006 05:01 PM
"but I've learned the internet has much lower standards than the real world." No, my "real world" has pretty low standards Posted by: Master of None on January 12, 2006 05:05 PM
I'm gonna be pissed if you do it, Sparkle. I want to be the only one with naked pics of you. Posted by: CraigC on January 12, 2006 05:11 PM
RWS, my mother told me about girls like you. Specifically, she said they were too good for me, and to stay the hell away from them. At the time I was cool, but upon reflection as I've matured it seems a bit too harsh of a message for a 7 year old. Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 12, 2006 05:14 PM
There was at time when my bod might have lived up to your expectations, but that time is long past. All the ladies of AoS are 8-10s. Especially the ones who pose in revealing outfits. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 05:15 PM
Since you guys are so sweet, I will let you see a pic of the good ole days. Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 05:28 PM
I work in engineering for The General (General Motors, Sir!), where, as a female, I am outnumbered something like 20-1. The putdown humor is constant, and it occasionally leaves me and my few gal pals a little weary. A lot of it hilariously funny, but it does sometimes go way over the line, either in quantity or degree. Not that my gender doesn't occasionally indulge, but it's a lot more infrequent and less intense. One thing I've noticed is that's when it's "live" it's a lot easier for me to say "enough, already" and have it actually cease. There are many more cyber-flamers who see any call to desist as a call to arms and crank it up to blowtorch and never wanna quit. Or maybe I'm just a little sissy-cat (but in 25 years at GM, I haven't sued anyone yet!). :-) Posted by: iamfelix on January 12, 2006 05:35 PM
Is it "SAFE FOR WORK" Posted by: Master of None on January 12, 2006 05:35 PM
And there is now. I lost the "dynasty" look, but the good thing about being small is gravity doesn't do such a number on you. I aint complaining. But for all you guys know, I could be a south Houston drag queen and this all a bunch of made up pics...;-) Posted by: Rightwinsparkle on January 12, 2006 05:35 PM
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ace and all the wonderful people who contribute to AoSHQ. Without this daily discourse on current affairs I would not have been able to achieve such a profound understanding of our current geopolitical situation. My observance of the discussions on this website have led me to the conclusion that our latest world crisis is nothing more than a harmless international scientific competition. Scientists in Taiwan create glow in the dark pigs, Iranian scientists (knowing of the Taiwan experiments for years) begin clandestine nuclear weapons program with the sole purpose of bettering their Taiwanese friends by creating a race of glow in the dark Jews. The added bonus would be the ability to see them as they swarm across the Iranian border in the dead of night (to congratulate the Iranians for topping the Taiwanese). The United States (always willing to help out) dispatches fighters to the region to help with delivery of the Iranian devises to Israel. So, now I can begin my weekend without stressing over some imaginary Middle Eastern crisis. Again, thanks to all of you who have helped me achieve this point of clarity. P.S. I hope Israel doesn’t sue me. A. Weasel Posted by: Assweasel on January 12, 2006 05:39 PM
But for all you guys know, I could be a south Houston drag queen and this all a bunch of made up pics...;-) My faith is strong and my heart is pure: no drag queen be thee. And I prefer the second pic to the first. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 05:41 PM

For some reason, I can't seem to access the first picture. Tells me I have to log in or something. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 05:42 PM
Oops. Ok. Here. My glory days. Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 05:44 PM
So much for givin' the love out during the "Welcome Lurkers" thread. My virgin post was all for naught. Don't know if I could qualify for an AOS vixen if I can't handle the heat in this here kitchen. Posted by: KevlarChick on January 12, 2006 05:45 PM

A post so nice, I made it twice. D'oh! Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 12, 2006 05:58 PM
I'm with geoff. The second pic is better. Not that the first is terrible, mind you... Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 05:59 PM

Yes. I don't want to talk about. It was all so, so, so... (sob) ... arousing. Posted by: ace on January 12, 2006 06:05 PM
Don't know if I could qualify for an AOS vixen if I can't handle the heat in this here kitchen. Since you've professed your preoccupation with Ace and his wherewithalls, and given Dave@GR the nod as well, there is little left for the rest of us but to sigh and nod knowingly. Consider the sighs and nods to have been appropriately, nay lavishly applied. Oh, and post photos. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 06:05 PM
little left for the rest of us what he said Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 12, 2006 06:08 PM
See?? They FORCE you to post pics. It's like a mind meld thing. They are evil and lonely..I tell ya....;-) Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 06:10 PM
Well...evil, yes. Lonely, no. But definitely evil. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 06:11 PM
and now you see that evil will always triumph over good...because good is dumb. Posted by: Dark Helmet on January 12, 2006 06:14 PM

What's strange is I know what Dave and RWS look like, but none of the rest of ya'll... Guess Texans are more open. Posted by: JFH on January 12, 2006 06:18 PM
Excellent idea!! Everyone post a pic! Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 06:19 PM

Seriously. I will create a new page and take pictures for it. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 06:36 PM
I checked this topic to see if anyone was thinking of suing me. Apparently not, but there was this: Master of None wrote: Is that you Bob? I'm not sure what you're referring to, but whatever it was, it wasn't me. This is my first post in this topic. Posted by: Bob on January 12, 2006 06:37 PM
Well, I won't take the pictures, but I'll certainly accept them via email. Would take a few days, but it could be fun. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 06:37 PM
Ummm, you forget Dave, we have your picture from the "Crap Tree" post Posted by: JFH on January 12, 2006 06:45 PM

So did I. Posted by: A. Weasel on January 12, 2006 06:48 PM
Geoff's right. He ponied up. Makes me wonder why he had a picture of himself so readily available, but it's a great pic. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 06:55 PM
Makes me wonder why he had a picture of himself so readily available, but it's a great pic. I jumped on it to try to keep the momentum going, but I still had time to resize and retitle the picture before I sent it. Things must move more slowly in Maine. Or maybe you still use film and don't store every picture ever taken on your hard drive. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 07:01 PM
I aint bad and I aint fat, but 4 kids and 4 decades does a number on the best of us. See, that's just not a problem for a MILF connoisseur. Why are you looking at me? I meant Dave in Texas!

Why would you regret it, Lipstick? Posted by: CraigC on January 12, 2006 10:38 PM

Why would you regret it, Lipstick? I'm not sure. *thinking* Some big meanie might photoshop a beard on me or something. Posted by: Lipstick on January 12, 2006 10:45 PM
Some big meanie might photoshop a beard on me or something. I don't think his size should matter. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 10:47 PM
I'm going to wait on bbeck and RWS until I get their explicit permission. I also have to add a picture of me, and only now found the right one... Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 10:51 PM
Calendar? Count me in. I'd have commented earlier, but I was too busy taking Glamour Shots photos of myself so Internet dweebs could tell me how hot I was. Posted by: Feisty on January 12, 2006 10:55 PM
I agree, you should wait until you get something explicit from RWS. Her permission, I mean. Posted by: TallDave on January 12, 2006 11:06 PM
Cool. I like being on top of RWS Posted by: Master of None on January 12, 2006 11:12 PM
Wow, you guys aren't ugly! Why'd I think you were ugly? And thank you but no, I would not like my t-shirt picture up there. If more folks post their pictures I'll send you another one to put up there that has my FACE only. Posted by: bbeck on January 12, 2006 11:12 PM
They were certaintly not glamour shots. The first one was a real honest to God professional actng shot made YEARS before glamour shots were invented. The recent one was taken in my back yard last Easter. And they are cetaintly not internet dweebs. As you can clearly see from their pics. They mountain climb, decorate Christmas trees, and...sometimes fall in the snow. But they are NOT DWEEBS! Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 11:15 PM
First of all, I hadn't noticed the "Faces of Ace's" link when I commented. I think they're cute, but I'm wondering why Craig is pointing at his nipple. I do that to indicate the winter temperature in Minnesota, but it appears to be a summer photo, so ya got me on that one. And you know I think you're a hot chick, RWS, I'm just giving you a little shit about the professional non-Glamour Shots photos that look amazingly similar to Glamour Shots photos. If they were taken years before Glamour Shots, that puts ya in the late 80s. I remember people getting those in junior high school c. 1992 or 1993. Posted by: Feisty on January 12, 2006 11:28 PM
You can get mine by going here: Posted by: Dogstar on January 12, 2006 11:32 PM
That was taken in 1984. Good grief. In 1992 I was having my third child and "glamour" was nothing more than the name of a magazine I was too old to read anymore. Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 11:33 PM
The link you posted about the "good 'ol days" is a dead link...we need a password or something. I was specifically teasing you about the photo on the front of your webpage. ;-) Posted by: Feisty on January 12, 2006 11:36 PM
I think they're cute, but I'm wondering why Craig is pointing at his nipple. That's not just a nipple, that's an AoS-clad nipple. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 11:38 PM
All the pictures look GREAT so far. Posted by: bbeck on January 12, 2006 11:42 PM
If I post a picture, can I have ace all over my nipple too? Mmmm....so hot. Geoff, hit me with a photo of you in that Here's me . No Photoshop, No Glamour Shots. It's me half-assed drunk in a bar. Feel it. Posted by: Feisty on January 12, 2006 11:46 PM
Just updated. Added RWS, Dogstar and *sigh* my own picture. Enjoy. If anyone else wants their pic added, just email me. Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 11:47 PM
By the way, the sigh isn't that I'm in love with myself...it's the whole "oh, cripes...now they know what I look like..." thing. Eventually, the names of those who blog will have links. Feisty, do you want a picture up on the site? Posted by: Slublog on January 12, 2006 11:49 PM

Here's me . No Photoshop, No Glamour Shots. It's me half-assed drunk in a bar. Feel it. Look at you being all cute 'n thoroughly-plied. In lieu of a labcoat photo, let me share a little of the stupid proposal I'm working on - due at 6am EST: In the traditional method, seawater is in contact with fresh water, giving an osmotic pressure of nearly 400 psi. As the seawater increases in saline content, the osmotic pressure increases as well, depending upon the water recovery ratio, as mentioned above. For a typical recovery ratio of 0.2, the osmotic pressure would be nearly 500 psi. The proposed method uses a sequence of filtration steps to reduce the osmotic pressure. Each stage is isolated from every other stage as it is being pumped, so that only the local concentration differences influence the pressure. Following the figure, both sides of a chamber are filled with seawater, and then pressure is applied to the left side. The seawater on the right hand side is diluted as water passes through the membrane, until the target concentration is achieved. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 11:53 PM
Now how did I manage to mess up the blockquote like that? Must be the pressure. Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 11:55 PM

I meant the pic was nice. Hot, and in just the right condition. Posted by: CraigC on January 13, 2006 12:05 AM

I bet you were cranking proposals : ) Yeah right! This thread went from the beginnings of a very good flame war / bogus apology / driveling idiot thread to personal photo submissions. Too bad it wasn't late on a Saturday night when most of you were toasted. You might have gotten brave and posted some extremely interesting pics. Especially you Feisty. If you're intelligence matches your charisma . . . Great pic. RWS - Beautiful, then and now. And the good girl front isn't fooling me for even a second. Slu - you have entirely too much hair for a man your age. Doesn't seem fair. Probably hung like a donkey to boot. Master of None - Nicholas Cage. That is a great pic! Ass deep in snow with a drink in hand. Craig - Physically fit. What you all fail to realize about Craig's Ace t-shirt pic is that the shirt is all he is wearing. Geoff - Beautiful. Not you. The kids and the waterfall. ; ) Dogstar - Nice, sincere pic. So tell me, how does it feel to have RWS on top of you? Michael - Just look at that face, that grin. I don't trust you any farther than Craig can throw you. You look like you have a wonderful sense of humor. So when in hell are you going to display it here? Dave in Tx. - If I were ever going to switch teams, you would be the reason. How can anyone look at that pic and not instantly like you? Well done Slu. A great looking crew! So when does Ace post his pic? Posted by: compos mentis on January 13, 2006 09:56 AM
Nice work, Slublog, although it looks like I missed the cut. Slub's asking for explicit permission to post people's photos (providing a link doesn't meet the standard), so you oughta either email him your favorite photo, or tell him which one you want posted. and compos mentis - thanks for the comments, but where's yours? Posted by: geoff on January 13, 2006 10:04 AM
but where's yours? The Dork Wars story I told pretty much kills the idea of me putting my face on the web. Plus I have a hump. Posted by: compos mentis on January 13, 2006 10:21 AM

Advantages to being hunchbacked: 1. Don't need a pillow to prop yourself up in bed 2. While at the beach, you never deal with crowds. Actually, you have 100 feet of sand in all directions pretty much to yourself. Posted by: lauraw on January 13, 2006 10:44 AM
You know, comments like "Oh, man. RWS is on top of me, and riding me like there's no tomorrow" just don't fit with those normal, pleasant-looking faces. I notice we don't have a shot of Brewfan, though. That means I can keep imagining him wrapped in a trenchcoat that doesn't quite cover skinny knees and oddly hairless and pale legs, caught in a moment of glancing furtively at the camera with beady little eyes. By the way, where's Dave at GR? I watched Red Dawn last night, and now that I finally know who Powers Boothe is (I was much too lazy to google), I want to mock him. And it's a good thing I don't have a crush on Dave like Kevlar does, 'cause I gotta tell you, that's some stiff competition. Posted by: Mrs. Peel on January 13, 2006 10:45 AM

| The Deplorable Gourmet A Horde-sourced Cookbook [All profits go to charity] Top Headlines
What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)* Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown. A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask). * Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV. Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR. Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him. LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR. Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too. LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.
The Hobbit Challenge: Read two more chapters. I didn't have much time. Bilbo got the ring.
I noticed a continuity problem. Maybe. Now, as of the time of The Hobbit, it was unknown that this magic ring was in fact a Ring of Power, and it was doubly unknown that it was the Ring of Power, the Master Ring that controlled the others. But the narrator -- who we will learn in LOTR was none of than Bilbo himself, who wrote the book as "There and Back Again" -- says this about Gollum's ring: "But who knows how Gollum had come by that present [the Ring], ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said." In another passage, the ring is identified as a "ring of power." I don't know, I always thought there was a distinction between mere magic rings and the Rings of Power created by Sauron. But this suggests that Bilbo knew this was a ring of power created by Sauron. Now I don't remember when Bilbo wrote the Hobbit. In the movie, he shows Frodo the book in Rivendell, and I guess he wrote it after he left the Shire. I guess he might have added in the part about the ring being a ring of power created by "the Master" after Gandalf appraised him of his research into the ring. I never noticed this before. I know Tolkien re-wrote this chapter while he was writing LOTR to make the ring important from the start. And also to make Gollum more sinister and evil, and also to remove the part where Gollum actually offers Bilbo the ring as a "present" -- Bilbo had already found it on his own, but Gollum was wiling to give it away, which obviously is not something the rewritten Gollum would ever do. But I had no memory of the ring being suggested to be The Ring so early in the tale.

The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)
