Boromir stares.

ITHILIEN, Middle-Earth—The Dom Land Caribou swept the Ithilien Rangers in efficient fashion by winning game four 3-0.
"Yay!" said all the hobbits in unison.
Although the Rangers had their backs to the wall in a do-or-die situation (insert your favorite sports cliché here), the Caribou seemed to control the play all evening. Few penalties were called on either team.
"Well, I guess we sorta ran out of energy,"
said Ranger Faramir. "That, and Eowyn made chowder for the team.
She makes really good chowder."
An unnamed source said that Merry received a tupperware of chowder, just
because Eowyn likes him.
After the game was over, the two teams lined up for the traditional handshake. It was a touching moment when Boromir and Faramir met at center ice. The brothers managed not to kill each other.
The 'Bou have a week off while the Uruk-Hai and the Ringwraiths try to sort out their conference finals.
"My knees are quite grateful for this break," said Gandalf.
...The Ringwraiths won the fourth game of their series beating the Uruk-Hai 4-2. The win was uneventful. The fistfight in the parking lot was spectacular. The Ringwraiths can clinch the series with one more win.
...Caribou fans, check out Gollum's rant at the MTV Movie Awards. It has nothing to do with the MEHA, but it's priceless. Find the link at TheOneRing.net.
Notes:
Now that the 'Bou are in the finals, it's up to the fans to decide how
they should end the season. If you haven't seen Bubbles' hat yet, see
it here. Now, guess how much it cost Bubbles
to make that hat. If you guess correctly, the 'Bou will win the championship.
If you don't, well there's always next season (unless you're Patrick Roy.
Heh.) So choose. But choose wisely. Notes II:
Read about the aftermath of the Elfhead
concert at the Merry-Go-Round...Rink...Thing Where a Penguin Plays a Banjo
here. Notes III:
View all the Dom-Land pictures and how they came to be here.
Notes IV:
If you sent me something, see it here. Playoff Primer 1) Each round is a seven-game series. Basically, two teams
play each other until one team wins four games. That team wins the series. 2) There are no ties. If a match is tied at the end of
three periods, the teams will play 20-minute overtimes until one of them
wins or they both drop dead. In the case of dropping dead, all members
of both teams have to be completely dead. The game will then be temporarily
postponed. 3) The teams who have qualified for this year's playoffs
are: Whoever wins the Caribou/Ranger series will go on to play
the winner of the Uruk-Hai/Ringwraith series for the Orlando's Bloomers
trophy. (Bubbles would like to remind everyone that the poll that chose
the name of the championship trophy was really weird.)
4) Although there are traditions of throwing things onto
the ice in the NHL during the playoffs, (i.e. the octopus in Detroit)
the MEHA has strictly forbidden the flinging of cephalopods. This measure
was taken to prevent the injury and/or death of anyone trying to capture
The Watcher in the Water.
5) As soon as she can, Bubbles will post the poll/quiz
that will determine how the 'Bou do in the playoffs.
