wow I've never heard this bit of strategy before.. I thought Sam was the only one who could carry the ring without wanting to conquer the world. lol this reminds me of the flying killer rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1975 | via viralfrog LOL This is the exact logic elves & wizards used when they let a hobbit carry it :P i just luv it! they are playing chicken the wrong way
C01: You'd need extra elves to keep eyes on the chicken. You turn your back on it for even a moment and it'll vanish. Like a cat. Or a spider.
C02: And how does one keep everyone else from grabbing the ring away from the chicken? Gollum at least would definitely try (and then eat the chicken).
C03: Clearly you've never met a chicken
C04: Chicken-alfrodo?
C05: Frodo does this with a chicken. The chicken does this with a worm. The worm does this with a flea. The flea is too small and drops the One Ring. Guess who picks it up.
C06: Can you imagine how angry Sauron would have been, finally getting to see where the Ring was, only to realize its on the leg of some random chicken, running around in the wilderness?
C07: How about no one wore the ring, but the ring was rather placed in a container and carried in a trolley or a cart that was pulled. Why does someone have to wear the dang ring? <he doesn't know the lure of the damn ring, no one has to wear it, just be near it>
R01: I'm imagining a wooden toy wagon that kids pull. The Hobbits could've dressed up as human kids to make it more believable. But then you can just wrap the ring in 10 pairs of socks in your luggage.
C08: There's actually an explanation. I don't know much about Lord of the Rings, but basically the ring is practically sentient and it WILL actively taunt anyone who comes around it. Let your eyes off of it for one second and it manages to get into the hands of whatever random person was passing by
C09: The ring would tempt the ppl moving the cart, they'd run into the same problem
C10: how would the chicken resist the temptation to wage war against the Colonel? That man has fried many of his brethren and some chickens are chock full of hatred.
C11: Gollum is swallowing that chicken whole and coughing up the ring and a few bones like 0.2 seconds after he sees it
