Transcript of Christmas conversation on those tra-la-la elves

[sunnyskywalker]

I told my uncle about the future Hobbit movie, and we came around to the problem of The Hobbit's tra-la-la elves vs. LotR's noble, serious elves. Being in the middle of a party ourselves, the conversation went about like this:

UNCLE: Well... maybe they can write it off as the difference between the high elves and the silvan elves.
ME: Drunk silvan elves?
UNCLE: Yeah, drunk silvan elves.
ME: No wonder movie!Elrond is so grumpy. He's stuck in a house full of drunk silvan elves.
