    Is this an appropriate place to say that I feel the whole concept behind the "Elf on the Shelf" as incredibly fucking creepy?

    I would assume that you find it creepy because it is, in fact, entirely fucking creepy

    Kids seem to love that elf on a shelf gimmick though. Guy at work says his kids get really excited to see what the next day will bring.

    He sees you when you're sleeping

    He knows when you're awake

    He knows if you've been bad or good

    So be good or be thrown into the gulags you filthy degenerate

    The devil doesn't have a book, he has a Palm Pilot and it only accepts Graffiti.

    It's a dummy Frodo, from a behind-the-scenes shot.

    (I was wondering why it was so hard to find a shot of Arwen and Frodo together on the horse where you could clearly see both their faces, until I realized that, of course, the two actors were never on the horse at the same time, because Elijah Wood is not actually hobbit sized.)

    I mean, on one hand yes.

    But on the other hand, she seems really fucking happy about the whole thing, which I don't remember from that scene.

    I think it'd be cute to do but just tell them you're the one moving it around or hiding it, and skip the whole SANTA'S SPY thing
