I was the one who introduced Laua to LotP. ME!!! This issue
should be dedicated to me!!!!
Okay, getting over that, I'll just write an article instead. I first discovered LotP
last winter. Being a complete Lord of the Rings nut, I was seeing Return of the King for the 3rd time when I noticed a certain
elf. Not that elf, he's Laura's obsession. I'm talking about Figwit. He's the brunette, extremely HOT, elf who tells Arwen
"My lady, we can not delay!" This meager part sparked an obsession for me. The unknown elf became "RHED", the Random Hot Elf
Dude. I needed to find out the actor!
You may be wondering what this has to do with LotP. I promise, I'm getting there.
My friend, Grace Elizabeth (webmistress of Just Pippin), went to see RotK a fourth time. Carefully watching the credits,
she found: "Elf Escort: Brett McKensie" That was our man!
I immediately Googled the name. And I found the lovely website
"Let's Brett it On". Following a link from there, I discovered "Figwit Lives", and I realized I had stumbled onto a cult hero
in the making.
Figwit stands for Frodo Is Great...Who Is THAT? He was named that because he was first noticed in the Council
of Elrond, in the background after Frodo agrees to take the ring. The five seconds in that film, and people's reaction to
it, was enough to convince Peter Jackson to bring Brett back and give him a speaking role.
On the figwitlives.net
there is a link to Figpeep also lives. I saw when I first visited: a yellow bunny peep dressed up in elf robes, with the caption:
Some say he can't talk.
Others say he simply chooses not to.
Some say he is Legopeep's "companion".
Others
say he is his archenemy.
Some think he looks like a Jelly Bean.
Others have impeccable taste.
with
a link to Lord of the Peeps.
Naturally, I was intrigued. I followed the link and arrived at the site of this month's theme.
Laura asked me to write an article about Lord of the Peeps. I have responded with this incredibly rambly story.
To
conclude, let me say this. I showed Laura LotP. We spent many days of theatre practice laughing over it. And together, we
continue to spread the gospel and attract new fans.
Thats all. Thanks for your time!
Hugs and Kisses,
Anna
An Interview with ORLANDO PEEP!!!!!!!!!
ME: How often are you told that you're the fluffiest peep in the world?
OP: Since
LOTP hit screens across the world, a LOT. It's kinda surreal, really.
M: Who are your biggest inpirations?
O:
Right now, I've got to say the rest of the LOTP crew - they're really a big inspiration to me the way they get stuck in to
their work.
M: Do you get along well with the rest of the cast and crew?
O: Oh, yeah, sure. They're a good
group. I mean, sure, Viggo and I have this friendly rivalry thing going, but it's all in good fun. He picks on
Legolas and calls him Ghiradelli Peep, but I tell him he's just jealous because I'm an elf-peep and that means I'll never
reach my sell-by date.
M: How do you feel about all of the injuries and the supposed "curse" on the movie?
O:
Well, I don't believe it at all, of course. Knock on wood.
M: How does it feel to be the hottest peep in the
Fellowship?
O: ~looks around~ Did any of the others hear you say that? I try not to rub it in. ~wink~
M: What do you like to do in your spare time?
O: Well, I'm into the whole extreme sports thing. Which doesn't
really make the producers happy, but hey, you're only fresh once. But I get in big trouble with the makeup crew if I
stay out at the beach long enough to get carmelized.
M: What's your favorite color?
O: Yellow, of course.
M:
How old are you?
O: Old enough to know better. ~grins~ Nah, I'll have been out of the factory two years come
April.
M: Are you single?
O: At the moment, but there's always the option for a multipack.
M: Can I have
your number?
O: Can I have yours?
M: Will you marry me?
O: Let's see - is Saturday good for you? ~laughs~
M: Please?
O: No, really, I hate to see a girl beg. ~grins~ Thanks for the interview, and all
the best to your readers!
