As excited as I am for the warm weather to arrive, I always feel a bit of sadness as winter ends and hibernation ceases with it. Though I often decry the pains of seasonal affective disorder, the winter blues are great for enabling behaviors that may not necessarily be the most mentally healthy. This can mean gorging oneself on rich, wintery meals. It can also mean (if you’re like me) binge-watching movies and television shows. 

While I like a current comedy or a cooking competition as much as the next guy, my winters involve a whole lot of movie-watching. And nothing hits the spot in the winter quite like a Lord of the Rings marathon. In the summer, it feels wrong to camp out in front of your television for like twelve hours of the extended editions. A more acceptable way to consume LOTR content is via memes, which (thankfully for you) we dispense once a week in our Tolkien Tuesday meme galleries. It’s a hefty mix of fresh, classic, and largely stupid Lord of the Rings memes, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
