Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin/Rap Meanings/@comment-25144949-20160501175245

I'm not good at adding meanings, so here's what I noticed for others to edit in:

'''Gather up your trolls and your Soldier Elves,

And your Ents and your orcs, and your Wargs and your Stings,

Your dwarves and Glamdrings, 'cause there's a new literary Lord in the Ring!'''

(These are references to some of Tolkien's species of characters. Silvan_Elves, Ents, Orcs, Wargs, Stings, Dwarf, and Glamdrings]. He also calls himself the new lord in the ring, with "ring" being a reference to either a wrestling or the circle/ring of popular authors. It's also obviously a reference to The Lord of the Rings.)

'''You're a pirate! You even stole my "R. R."!'''

''(A nice fucking line right here, one of my favorite ERB lines of all time. Not only does Martin have the same "middle name" as Tolkein (R. R.), but a pirate (another word for a thief) also commonly says "Argh!")''
