[Bill]

I'm posting my answers because I fear I moght not have the time to go online next time... :confused:

Okay, my answers!!

A1. When they are 'Naz-gooses'!! Hahaha!

A2. Entwives!! I don't know why but I thought this is funny! :D

A3. When they are the 'onion-ring-wraiths'!

A4. The Witch-King!

A5. Ang-band!!!

A6. Tom Bomb-adil

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm, this seems more suited to Middle-earth Mirth, so I'm moving it there.

[HerenIstarion]

Number 6 left unanswered, so I'd have a go

The terrorist should be one to invoke terror, so that'd be Lobelia :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A hung-over Gandalf would be strike terror, too. :eek:

[Nimrothiel]

For #6:

Tim Benzedrine...oh wait, wrong book. :D I'd honestly have to say Tom Bombadil though; he has a beard and half the time you can't understand a word he says. :p

[Firefoot]

Hmm, I think we're trying to think of the answer to the wrong one - "Tom Bomb-adil" doesn't make sense for a musical place but it does work for a terrorist. So where is the the most musical place in M-e?

[Elennar Starfire]

Q4. Which LOTR character could not decide whether he is a male or female?
Smeagol (Is me a gal?)

Yeah, dumb I know. But it's the first thing I thought of.

[Miriel Undomiel]

I read a funny riddle somewhere on the 'Downs:
Why didn't Tom Bombadil answer the phone?
Because the Ring didn't affect him! :D :D :D

[Saraphim]

Here's one. I don't know the answer but see if you do:

How many members of the Fellowship does it take to screw in a light bulb?

[Nimrothiel]

This one's a knock-off of a Mafia joke:

Three. One to screw it in, one to stand around looking heroic *cough, Legolas, cough* and one to kill the orcs trying to stop them.

Here's a new one:

What is coloured blue and green,
which elves consider a fair sight to be seen?
It is hostile to a tree,
yet a green leaf longs to see?

Bonus points if you answer with a line from the book.

[Saraphim]

Is it the Sea? I couldn't find a quote, sorry.

[Miriel Undomiel]

How many members of the Fellowship does it take to screw in a light bulb?
~They don't need a light bulb when they have Gandalf and his staff.

~All off them! One to hold the light bulb and the rest to skrew the house on.

[Nimrothiel]

Yes, it is the sea. Here's an incomplete quote:
"Legolas Greenleaf long under tree...,
beware of the sea!"
As you can see, I don't have it memorized; nor do I have a copy of the book at hand. :o

[Firefoot]

Let's see how well I can do for memory...
"Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived - beware of the sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall dwell in the forest no more."How many members of the Fellowship does it take to screw in a light bulb? -Four hobbits. Three to reach the ceiling, and another to hand the lightbulb up.

[Nimrothiel]

That sounds right; thanks. :) Um, let me think...well, it's not my best and it's rather easy, but here it goes.

"A funny little man in a mithril coat,
an axe in his hand and a gem at his throat.
If you tell me this riddle, I'll give you a groat."

Well, how about my congratulations instead of a groat? :p
