Added DiffLines:

** Saruman was described as having little grit and pluck; he wasn't one made to deal with the mess up-close and personal. Of course, this is a common theme running through Tolkien and his HetereosexualLifePartner Lewis; administrators, advisers, committees, and organizations are bad; heroes go in and get the job done themselves. Saruman makes an effective [[TheDragon dragon]] with his ability to create, organize, delay the White Council, and so on, but this dragon has no claws when the heroes are on him. Even when he [[EvilIsPetty ruins the Shire out of spite,]] he does it by rallying ruffians and scum and corrupting Hobbits.

* [[http://www.stjoeparish.com/Default.aspx?tabid=99 Fr. Edward Sorin, C.S.C.]], the founder of the University of Notre Dame. Shouldn't expect anything less from a priest who almost singlehandedly built ND in the middle of Nowhere, IN, and after it burned down in 1879 swore to rebuild it even larger. Also, he's an ''honest-to-God'' doppelganger of Albus Dumbledore--check if you don't believe me.

* GIJoe. It started in the 70s with the 12" AdventureTeam member Joe Colton with realistic flocked facial hair as a selling point, and despite the fact that facial hair is still against military regs in most branches, a lot of Joes started sporting BadassBeards, Including Shipwreck, Snowjob, Frostbite, Clutch, Outback, Rock & Roll, and most recently Bench Press. On the other side, Dreadnoks Ripper, Torch, and Monkeywrench as well as Iron Grenadiers Voltar and General Mayham have their own.
