Today is Dragon Appreciation Day.  Personally I think dragons need a month of their own to be properly appreciated (or at least a week).  I mean, could there be a more awesome critter?

So, what's your favorite dragon book, movie or story?

Me, I love the movie Dragonheart with Sean Connery as the dragon.  I don't like the movie Reign of Fire though. 

And I really like Smaug and while I really didn't care for the whole Eragon book thing, I do like Saphira.

Lastly, check out Design Toscano for some really cool dragon items.

“The man who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself."

Freidrich Nietzsche

“It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.”

JRR Tolkein

“Meddle not in the affairs of the dragon; for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.”

“May the dragon of life only roast your hot-dogs and never burn your buns!”

Leave your favorite dragon quote or title of your favorite dragon novel or movie in the comments and I'll pick a winner for a 2010 Dungeons & Dragons calendar. Or, if you haven't any, just drop your name in the hat. You've got until Monday evening to enter.
