Well...
Don't know what you fold over in freedom-land call it Or whatever your country is renowned for
At least here in Belgium, anything that is made in the same way as Champagne, but isn't made in the Champagne region of France is called Cava.

Well, not really hence tequila. Tequila is distilled agave juice, champagne is a white wine.

Sparkling white wine
User avatar
#2 - chris chris (01/08/2016) [-]
true that Champagne is a trademarked word for sparkling white whine from Champagne, France, but all sparkling white wine is commonly referred to as Champagne. same with facial tissue is commonly referred to as Kleenex, fortified red wine is referred as port, Generic parmesan cheese is referred as Parmesan, and nanaimo style cookies are referred to as Nanaimo bars.
That is, unless you're pretentious as fuck
#18 - Stevethewizard (01/08/2016) [-]
Actually, the Champagne region of France is one of two places in the world with the legal right to call their sparkling white wines "Champagne". The other is California, due to California's wine producers buying rights to call their sparkling white wines "Champagne".
The first of the examples you mentioned is an attempt at a concept called "genericization", the process by which words that were originally copyrighted or trademarked become available for use by all manufacturers of nearly identical products. Had the word Kleenex become genericized, all manufacturers of facial tissues would be able to market their products as "Kleenex" despite not owning the rights to call their product such.
The second two aren't as much examples of anything other than people being extremely picky. Port and Parmesan cheese aren't trademarked or copyrighted terms, nor were they ever such. They are simply specific varieties of wine and cheese. It's important to differentiate between varieties of such varied products as wine and cheese. For example, if we had no names for different cheeses, some idiot would put Parmesan on a pizza instead of mozzarella.
The final one is one I've never heard of. Must be a regional thing.
The more you know.
#21 - chris chris (01/08/2016) [-]
actually Portugal does have the rights to port wine, thats why the only wine labeled 'port' comes from Portugal, otherwise its called 'fortified red'. and although Parmesan does not have the rights to the cheese yet, last i heard they are going through the works to get it done, i think they sued the company 'Kraft' about it. and you should really check out Nanimo bars, kuz they're fuckin amazing
anyways... moo point. because like i said, just because companies or countries trademarked it does not mean that people use the words for the specific regions, they use the generalizations of the words

Was told by my lieutenant that it was and would be a valid tactic.
They would arm these "kamikazi" as well as possible with vodka or whatnot.
While they go and die the officers in the back would mark the enemies defensive positions.

New question, because why not, on a scale between 1 to Steven Colbert, how confident are you in your knowledge with Tolkin things, and what is and what happened to this ******* thing?
User avatar #32 to #31 - galgawine (12/03/2014) [-]
I'm 100% sure Colbert surpasses me in Tolkien knowledge, he knows more than Peter Jackson at least and thats the guy making the movies. When I make my comps and **** I usually have to go back for refreshers and double check lots of things even though I know what happened in general but in his Tolkien showdowns and interviews, he remembers a **** ton of stuff on the fly at all times, the guys impressive. I personally think I don't know any more than any other guy whos read all the books, I'm not magic.

As for the dragon, Ancalagon was the "commander" of the dragon army of Morgoth. It never actually says hes that big though, anything about his size is speculation based on the fact that when he died, he fell and destroyed three towers of Thangorodrim (mountains) which were pretty freaking big, And also he's the king dragon so naturally he'd be a big mofo.
User avatar #33 to #32 - galgawine (12/03/2014) [-]
Oh and since Tolkien writes his stuff like a history textbook, we don't really know how Ancalagon was killed either. Just says that he was slain in battle and fell really hard :p
User avatar #24 - franklyimaperson ONLINE (11/25/2014) [-]
So who would you say is your favorite LotR character? It seems in the content that you really like the guy that Helm's Deep was named after (and to be fair he is a god damn pimp) but I was wondering if you had any others

On a related note, and mind I have never read any of the books (except for Hobbit), but I was wondering if there was enough info to do a comp on Théoden and his immediate family, he is (for whatever reason) my favorite character in the movies, and I just know there is some stuff missing, perhaps a little bit on Grimma Wormtonuge so I can finally figure out who the **** that guy was

Great work on the comps, either way, I love the **** out of lore
User avatar #25 to #24 - galgawine (11/25/2014) [-]
My favorite character... very hard to choose haha. If i had to narrow it down: Faramir, Boromir, and Eomer are my three favorites. They exemplify basically everything I would want to be in a person: courageous, honorable, intelligent, and loyal beyond all ******* belief. Those are guys you know you can count on and would want to have leading you into battle! I think they are all just really cool characters and badasses, their book forms are far superior to the movie versions. If you have a book available, I would only ask that you read ONE chapter from the Two Towers, "The King of the Golden Hall". Thats possibly my favorite chapter in all the books and it shows a lot of badass **** from every character in it namely, Aragorn, Gandalf, Eomer and Theoden himself. Its the scene from the movie where Gandalf sucks the evil out Theodens dick and they muster the Rohirrim
User avatar #26 to #25 - franklyimaperson ONLINE (11/25/2014) [-]
I love that scene, 'YOU HAVE NO POWAH HERE!'

I'm trying to think as to why I love Theoden as much as I do, idk it is just something about this tired warrior king trying to do his best but this new evil testing his resolve and questioning his ability, I mean apparently he is like what... 70? Also, dat scene when he finds out his son died, just the emotion in that scene man, Bernard Hill played the character well
User avatar #27 to #26 - galgawine (11/25/2014) [-]
I would really recommend that chapter then, very good Theoden scene haha.(His death scene is also 10X better in the books btw!)
As Theoden dies on the fields, Eomer speaks to the soldiers:

"Mourn not overmuch! Mighty was the fallen,
meet was his ending. When his mound is raised,
women then shall weep. War now calls us!"
User avatar #28 to #27 - franklyimaperson ONLINE (11/25/2014) [-]
Well he did seem to put a good fight against the Witch King, either way, I mean he decapitated a god damn Fellbeast-

I'd hate to change lanes on you, but I kinda want to know, where exactly do the Eagles come from? Like I have a buddy who summed it up as 'Gandolf and the eagles are friends, like how Gandolf is buds with Shadowfax, and they'll do him a solid if he asks kindly enough', and while I accept this, I never really understood where they actually hide out where they can basically be Gandolf's get out of jail free card (Though I recall that you said that third Wizard talked them into doing that)

And no, I won't ask why they didn't just fly to Mordor, that has always been a stupid ******* idea, even ignoring that the Eagles could probably be tempted by the ring or how the eye would have an even easier time finding them

I really do need to buy these books... I've seen a copy of all three for sale at work... hmmmm...
User avatar #30 to #28 - galgawine (11/25/2014) [-]
The Eagles are just big birds that live in middle-earth, as normal as humans, elves or dwarves really. They've been around since the first age and save Hurin in "the Children of Hurin". They live in nests in the misty mountains and like your friend says, they just do favors for the elves and Gandalf every now and then. They can see really ******* far (eagle eyed lol) and so on their patrols they see people in trouble and help out and **** . They're just kinda good guys who dont want to completely commit to the war right until the end at the black gates
