    Guys. This fellow here is missing a Lord of the Rings reference! Did you know that trilogy is 20 years ago now? Feeling old yet?

      Lord of the Rings is from 1968, and I read it in the 80’s, and have seen the movies.

      I don’t see how that was a reference to either.

        It’s a movie reference. Specifically it references “The Lord of the Rings: The return of the King” at the end of the battle of Minas Tirith. It is said by Gimli, as a response to Legolas slaying a Mumak (giant war elephant).

        I’m sorry i don’t have a timestamp.

        Edit: It’s 2:50:49ish in the extended edition

          OK I looked it up, and that is indeed a LOTR reference.

          I just don’t get why people would make a reference out of anything as generic as that?
