Never understood the screen name so I got around to looking it up:

Quote:Smaug, a renowned figure of indeterminate but impressive background, lives alone, cloistered with a fortune of equally uncertain vintage, uninterested and otherwise withdrawn from the world outside. The “desolation” of the title is a fair portrait of his state of mind; like so many Coen protagonists, he is at once self-involved and depressed—his pomposity cohabits with anomie, and more than anything, he is suffused with an air of melancholy depression.

Quote:Smaug is of some vaguely aristocratic extraction, perhaps having been fostered by another wealthy nobleman. His parentage is unclear.

Quote:Smaug’s love interest is not a beautiful young woman, but rather a midget homosexual circus performer, played with charm

The dragon from the Lord of The Rings.

It makes sense because he is a UAB fan and they have something to do with dragons.

Not sure. Just know that he's from Birmingham and isn't too fond of women in powerful positions.

Aw, my very own thread.

How flattering.

Don't get carried away.

Obviously someone who has destroyed the OP on these very boards....the creation of this thread is evidence of that.

I thought he lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee...

Is it pronounced like "smowg" or like "smog"?

I pronounce it like "August".

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for ye are crunchy and taste good with catsup.

Let's delve deeper into the question of "Who is Smaug?" with the truest determination of character...

Jackson version or Bakshi version?

The Bakshi looked like a cat to me.

Here's my deep delving.

Good guy who is a definite plus in the Spin Room.
