On the round table, there was an assortment of food from a little place called Hobbiton in Middle Earth. On the board there was an altered map of Middle Earth.

The re-labelled map reads:

Hobbiton/The Shire: Little furry dudes
Moria: Heigh-ho dudes
Rivendell: Pointy ears dudes
Mordor: Bug-eyed dude
Isengard: Slimy dudes and Christopher Lee and wizards
Helm's Deep: Bad place to hang out
Gondor: Butch dudes


"Afternoon dudes!" Ted greeted. "I heard about the kazoo stuff from last week. Most excellent. Today we're learning about this place called Middle Earth. Well, their music. They don't have cars or planes or time-travelling phone booths or anything to get around, so they have to walk or ride horses or sail everywhere. It takes a long time. And most of the time they're either too busy fighting or eating or walking to make new music all the time, so they keep to the same few songs and then just modulate them or use the same theme and make an 11 hour soundtrack really long tunes out of the few ideas they do come up with. Then they just keep harping on the same idea over and over again, and it turns out really long, so they can hum to it on their really long trips. Seriously dudes, it takes like a week to walk to the mall for them."

Discussion: "No discussion on this today unless you want to dudes. But something different. If you could meet any musician-type dude or dudette or go anywhere to any musical performance in all of the multiverse, where would you wanna go? Who would you like to see? Enjoy the food, dudes!"
