This past week marked the one-year anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Christchurch<\/a><\/em>, New Zealand.\u00a0 On the Off Topic Discussion Board, Christchurch resident and long-time TORn member Starling marked the day with one of many letters she’s shared throughout the year of life after the quake<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 Always poignant and inspiring<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Have you ever wished you could tell one of the cast members Happy Birthday face to face?\u00a0 Well, TORn poster belleferret found a way to do that for Sean Astin, who just celebrated his 41st<\/sup> birthday.\u00a0 Weeks ago, belleferret asked us if we’d like to send her a picture telling him just that.\u00a0 She’s compiled everyone’s well wishes to share with Sean, including one very special greeting!!\u00a0 It’s not too late to wish Sam\/Sean a Happy Birthday!\u00a0 Click here<\/em> <\/a>\u00a0and join the party!<\/p>\n

TORn is always up for a game of 6 degrees of separation (otherwise known as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon<\/a><\/em>).\u00a0 Here at TORn we play it a bit differently.\u00a0 Over on The Hobbit Movie Discussion Board, malickfan found a whole new degree to explore by asking if “Anyone else noticed all the links between the different cast members?”\u00a0 Let the fun begin!\u00a0 Check it out<\/a><\/em> and tell us who we may have missed!<\/p>\n
