"I tell you, Scully," pleaded Mulder, "it's not some silly story I brewed up after reading too many fantasy novels! There is this special ring which can lead us to all the answers! The ring is the culprit behind all those cases involving people being stuffed into blenders and what not!"

"Sure, Mulder," said Scully sarcastically. "If it's not UFOs it's witches riding on vacuum cleaners or boo-boos crawling out of toilet bowls. But never mind, just let me listen to your crackpot theory anyway."

"The One Ring, Scully!" exclaimed Mulder. "There's this set of rings that allow you to do all sorts of magic stuff like winning the sweepstakes or knowing all the answers to the questions in 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. But there's also this One Ring that rules'em all! Only one who wielded this ring could have been behind all those cases!"

"And you suspect these people have something to do with it?" asked Scully, indicating the files she was flipping through, one of which showed a truly revolting face with slitty eyes, pimples all over, a splayed nose with huge nostrils and a missing front tooth. Scully's face twisted into an expression of sheer disgust as she looked at the named: Frodo Baggins.

"Hmmm. Where do you reckon we should search for these people, Mulder?"
