The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[Bêthberry]

What, no words of commendation for my own fetching chapeau?

Vive Les Expos!!

Oh, I noticed it my dear compatriot and had quite the chuckle, or several, over it. But what can I say? Did Les Expos ever win a World Series? Still and all, mythic potential there. The once and future team.

I am in fact contemplating submitting a picture of my own somewhat after the manner of your own, Fordim, so rest assured that your influence is not waning with your haphazard appearances here on the Downs. :p

Tig, there's a picture of me on the Chat Wights page of the forum. The one that BW has not desecrated with the pirate patch, although I find that one extremely funny. You had to be in chat to understand it though. :D

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Did Les Expos ever win a World Series?

They would have in '94 had not the strike interfered. That's why the strike happened, by the way...it was a plot to prevent any possibility of an All-Canadian World Series.

Which is also why, by the way, Les Expos were forcibly removed to Washington...

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I do not see that thread anywhere, Bethberry

Also, I just saw the posts by obloquy and VanimaEdhel on the last page. Obloquy says I can put that pic on the page, but Vanima... do you want me to add yours as well???

If ya'll do want your pictures added to the page... can you PM me personally and/or email them to me, because I may not see them on here otherwise.
Thanks :)

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

I do not see that thread anywhere, Bethberry

'Tain't a thread Tig, but part of the 'main' site (www.barrowdowns.com). Look here (http://www.barrowdowns.com/chatwights.php).

[Bêthberry]

Fordim, bless his ever-gaming soul, has linked to the pirate patch picture. BW created alternate pics for all the ops. Mithadan is Gregory Peck, Legolas/Ulmo is Orlando Bloom, Rimbaud is Miss Piggy (the flip side of his Kermit chat nick), etc etc.

To see the original pic, just refresh the page or go 'hair' for Bethberry (http://www.barrowdowns.com/chatwights.php) . ;)

[Kuruharan]

Hmm, the chat-wights page comes up different ways different times you click it...

I could almost find myself wishing that Rimbaud would bring back that Kermit picture for his avatar. There is just...something about it. ;)

[mormegil]

Just sent my picture in. Well it's my wife, daughter and me. It's a bit 6 months old so my daughter has changed a lot but enjoy.

[alatar]

Wow! Does not the newly colorized Tigerlily Gamgee look like Eowyn?

[Balin999]

Now that you mention it, definitely.
But I thought more of Galadriel, though Tigerlily would have been a better one, I guess.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

But I thought more of Galadriel, though Tigerlily would have been a better one, I guess.

That's nothing! Who had Gandalf in his picture? :D
No one has gone the extra mile yet... Why not?

[Kuruharan]

That's nothing! Who had Gandalf in his picture?
No one has gone the extra mile yet... Why not?

They realize that they cannot possibly hope to surpass the sheer "Gandalfness" of your picture.

Does not the newly colorized Tigerlily Gamgee look like Eowyn?

You don't suppose that this is why she chooses to run an Eowyn site...do you?

[alatar]

You don't suppose that this is why she chooses to run an Eowyn site...do you?

Hmmm...don't really see the connection?!? :confused:

And please don't interfere with my blatant attempt at shmoozing the site's host (note that shmoozing means being overtly nice to someone in order to beg a favor in the future such as submitting a new photo, nothing more). I'm sending flattery so that if, in the future, I were to submit a new photo she might consider swapping it in.

As my first was in color, would that hypothetical second need to be in B/W? Not that I'm asking anything...

[Kuruharan]

Hmmm...don't really see the connection?!?

Well, it's because she has...oh, never mind.

Bad jokes become less funny when you explain them. ;)

And please don't interfere with my blatant attempt at shmoozing the site's host.

What does your wife think of this sort of thing?

[mormegil]

What I want to know Kuru is when will we see the dwarf unmasked?

[Kuruharan]

Hmmm...Estelyn was the starter of that particular refrain. Then when she had the opportunity to meet me and see what I look like, she wouldn't. Something about a plane that she just haaaad to catch.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

You don't suppose that this is why she chooses to run an Eowyn site...do you?
Heh... not really, no... I run that because of my fondness for the character.
But that is, indeed, why I have a couple Eowyn costumes for convention going :)

[alatar]

What does your wife think of this sort of thing?

"Whatever it takes to get another picture of the kids on the site..."

[Kuruharan]

"Whatever it takes to get another picture of the kids on the site..."

You hear that Tigerlily?!

Charge him!!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Tig, I'm e-mailing you the new version of my pic even as I'm writing this.

*Fea giggles in anticipation of people's reactions to her favorite self-portrait ever*

[alatar]

Charge him!!

I will post one of my face and then she can charge to have it taken down - they'll pay. ;)

[Kuruharan]

I will post one of my face and then she can charge to have it taken down - they'll pay.

You really think that would work?!

I may have to send in a picture after all!

$$$$

Unfortunately, you and I would probably have to give Tigerlily a share of the take. :( ;)

[alatar]

I was hoping that this Father's Day would produce a good picture of me and the kids, but somehow we'd skipped it this year. In years past, my wife would make all of us tie-dyed shirts (even the dog) and I'd get a photo with all of us so attired.

Note that we like tie-dye not because we're hippies (far from it) but because it's colorful, easy to make and is pretty much pre-stained, which is an important consideration when you have children who somehow always manage to get something on your shirt.

And come on, Kuruharan, get off of the sidelines - it's about time that you sent in a pic.

[Durelin]

Why do all you people hide behind a computer all day? ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Why do all you people hide behind a computer all day? ;)

Because the outside world is a scary place full of evil goblinses! Hiss! Keep the yellow face away! Hiss!

[Gil-Galad]

Because the outside world is a scary place full of evil goblinses! Hiss! Keep the yellow face away! Hiss!



And Natural Sunlight! it burns ze face it does!

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm, it would be a shame if this thread ended up getting closed because of all the idle chat ... :rolleyes:

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

No updates for more than 5 days, because Tigerlily is going out of town! Yay!
You can still send pics in, but they'll remain in my inbox until I return home.

[Balin999]

Namarie, fair queen of Lorien.
;)

[narfforc]

Bethberry, how well you read me. There is something very impish going on behind those eyes and the world will know when The Lord or the Grins is finally published, and I have to go into hiding like Salman Rushdie ha- ha. By the way I am an older man (single) and I have five Grandchildren, the oldest being ten, I am not quite one of the Dunedain, but I am a pensioner and spend huge quantities of money on face cream.

[Orominuialwen]

narfforc, you remind me rather of the actor who played Snape in HP. (I don't know what his name is.)

[Encaitare]

Oro, you speak of the delicious Alan Rickman.


By the way I am an older man (single) and I have five Grandchildren, the oldest being ten

You're joking, narfforc. You look too young.

[Orominuialwen]

Thanks, Encaitare. I preferred Rickman as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility, but I figured I'd be more likely to get his name if I referred to HP.

[Lathriel]

I really liked Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility!
I keep on checking out the picture page every day to see if tere are new pics.

[The Saucepan Man]

Please cut the off-topic chat folks, or this thread is likely to be closed. Which would not be very fair to Tigerlily who has put in a lot of work to bring us the photo page.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

My favorite Rickman role is probably that as the Voice of God in Dogma.

And Narfforc, I had you placed as about thirty.

[narfforc]

To Feanor and Encaitare, I am half the age of Aragorn, but not to far from Viggo, so you have made my day, the smile will last for days. Thanks.

[Lathriel]

I send in my pic but we'll have to wait a few days. I hope Tig is having fun.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

I'd like to add my ernest appeal to Saucy's - please don't overdo the chatting on this thread! I'm sure brief comments on the pictures are alright, but it's better not to go off on a tangent - personal chit-chat should be taken to PMs.

On topic - I'm still away from home and my PC, but when I get back next week I'll have a lovely picture of Child of the 7th Age, Thenamir and myself, taken when I met them last week, to add to Tigerlily's site.

Also on topic, Tigerlily does look very much like Eowyn on that picture!

[Elennar Starfire]

Tig and Fea, if you're changing your pictures, could you please send the old ones to me in a PM? I've got a drawing in the works including both of you, and it's much easier if I've got a pic to look at.

[Gil-Galad]

what about little ol' me? FYI, i have a pic of me with my cape down...

[The Perky Ent]

Looks nice :D

[Nimrodel_9]

what about little ol' me? FYI, i have a pic of me with my cape down...
Then put it on! I wants to see! I never knew you were Super Man... ;)

[THE Ka]

Then put it on! I wants to see! I never knew you were Super Man... ;)


Yes! I want to see too!


~ Fed Up Ka

[Gil-Galad]

bah....Nimmy, if you really want it i could send it too you over Msn...but i'm not sure if i should put it up just yet...

[the guy who be short]

I just sent in a photo. I hope you can use attachments...

[elronds_daughter]

At long last the BD photo page shall be graced with my likeness! Now it will be truly complete.

(Who ever said I couldn't be as egotistical as the phantom? ;))

[Gil-Galad]

Don't forget that Superman haunts the photo-pages now...

[elronds_daughter]

Yeah, but what good are you if you won't even show your face, Gil?

[Gil-Galad]

again, i say i have a picture of me as superman with the cape down, and one email i could send it to Tig to put it up...or just send it indivually to specific indivuals...

[VanimaEdhel]

Okay, the pics I put up before were about seven months old. These are more recent pictures of me:
One Pic (http://img197.echo.cx/img197/9200/p52601108do.jpg)
Two Pic (http://img197.echo.cx/img197/8120/p52101026qb.jpg)
Red Pic (http://img197.echo.cx/img197/2747/p52601087nd.jpg)
Could Find a Blue Pic (http://img197.echo.cx/img197/7776/p40200690tg.jpg)
;)

[Gil-Galad]

i like the last one... that "blue" pic... i like it with your hair forward...

[Kath]

I like the red pic, kinda looks like you're in some sort of dark room.

[VanimaEdhel]

Actually, I received the biggest compliment I think I've ever had with the "blue" picture - someone said that I reminded her of Uma Thurman somehow with it. I absolutely love her.

And the red one was taken by me just putting my fingers over the flash.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

VanimaEdhel, do you want one of those up on the photo page?

Oh yeah, and I'm back, and I'm off to update the page right now. I have five new pics and one change of pic to take care of. So, here I go... off to update :)

[Kuruharan]

mormegil looks nothing like I was expecting.

I would have been looking for somebody with dark hair.

...maybe even all over his body...I wonder where I got that idea... :confused: ;)

[Firefoot]

mormegil looks nothing like I was expecting.

I would have been looking for somebody with dark hair. I'll second that.

Fea, I love the new pic.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Check out Fea's new pic underneath Tig's new pic. They definitely have some sort of ancestor-descendent theme going on there! (Because her pic looks Victorian and the pose is..........nevermind.)

mormegil looks nothing like I imagined him! Say, how tall are you exactly?

[mormegil]

mormegil looks nothing like I imagined him! Say, how tall are you exactly?

I'm 6'5" or 1 meter and 95 to 96 cm

[Kath]

Ooh lots of new photos! Thanks for the update Tigerlily.

Fea I love your new one, makes you look almost animated (as in like animation not looking like you're alive - I'll just stop now.)

The guy who be short is apparently taking a leaf out of alatar's book.

And Mormegil! You're not a hairy little monkey! I mean I knew that but somehow it's still a shock.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Thanks for all the compliments on that picture, guys. If anybody cares to know how I went about developing it, PM me and I'll share my secret. It's one of the greatest art secrets around... :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I think you just used a really old camera.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I think you just used a really old camera.
I did no such thing. As a matter of fact, I used a four year old digital and developed it in the dark room.

[Gil-Galad]

I did no such thing. As a matter of fact, I used a four year old digital and developed it in the dark room.


err i knew that... :cool:

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well, there were several steps in between, and they're the important ones, but that's the gist of it.

[VanimaEdhel]

VanimaEdhel, do you want one of those up on the photo page?

Oh yeah, and I'm back, and I'm off to update the page right now. I have five new pics and one change of pic to take care of. So, here I go... off to update :)

Go ahead - put whichever one you like the best up. I'm not picky: I linked to those four because they were my four favorites.

[Lhunardawen]

mormegil looks nothing like I imagined him! Indeed! I sort of imagined him being short (shorter than he actually is, I mean) with dark hair...and about my age. Or a bit older.

EDIT: Haha. If not for Kath, I wouldn't realize what morm's avatar is.

[Balin999]

I got a problem:
I dont see any thumbs or pics, I just see the names and no link or whatsoever....
Can anybody help me?

[the guy who be short]

The guy who be short is apparently taking a leaf out of alatar's book.Hey, it was the nicest pic of me I could find. :p I really like it actually, I love the silhouette and the fluffy clouds and blue sky. It was taken on top of a pirate ship, y'know.


morm is just... nothing like I (or any of you lot apparently) imagined him. I always imagined him as small and dark-haired. I think my brain made that connection because of the "mor-" in mormegil. And all you people named after swords should be dark and mysterious...

Fea - Just wow. Maybe I'm biased 'cos I think she's one of the funniest people I know and I like her personality, but I think she's the best looking person out of us. Followed extremely closely by tigerlily of course.

the phantom - How do I do this without boosting his ego? Ah, yes. I would choose Brad Pitt over him anyday. ;) Actually I think tp looks better when not in his suit, though it's disappointing how he's not as dark and evil as I imagined him.

Ainaserkewen - I always imagined her as her avatar. Though I like the short hair.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea - Just wow. Maybe I'm biased 'cos I think she's one of the funniest people I know and I like her personality, but I think she's the best looking person out of us. Followed extremely closely by tigerlily of course.
*blushes* I can never resist a compliment, even if I disagree with it.

Actually I think tp looks better when not in his suit, though it's disappointing how he's not as dark and evil as I imagined him.
No, he is. He just hides it well. Picture him more as his avatar. Much closer to the truth. ;)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I dont see any thumbs or pics, I just see the names and no link or whatsoever....
Can anybody help me?
I don't know what to tell you, Balin999... it worked for you in the past, no? Maybe the server was having issues when you stopped by, or something... but I know that I haven't reached my date transfer limit, because I have tons of that.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

I have sent Tigerlily a bargain photo - three for the price of one! (Well, maybe even four... ;) ) It shows Child of the 7th Age, Thenamir, some other guy no one knows, and myself at a recent get-together - hope you'll enjoy it!

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Got it, and I'll add it as soon as I can :) You are all lovely!

[Balin999]

I just don't understand why I can't see the pics. I've tried IE and FireFox, but I only see the names.
Dammit.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Do you think it might have anything to do with internet security settings? I'll admit I'm only a computer nerd when it comes to certain aspects, and this isn't one of them, but could safety settings affect seeing images?

[VanimaEdhel]

Tig - do you need me to e-mail the picture over, or are the links I put in here good enough?

[Balin999]

That could be the reason, though I never changed any of the settings.
Thanks to Windows, for always giving me the possibility to waste my time over completely unlogic problems :)

[Orominuialwen]

I use Opera, so I'm not sure if this can be done in IE or Firefox, but sometimes you can set your browser so that it won't show images, or so that it will only show cached images. You might want to check that out.

[Lathriel]

My picture got through. I was worried it wouldn't work. It is not the greatest picture but it was the best I could find within five minutes. The problem with me is that people always think I am younger than my actual age.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Tig - do you need me to e-mail the picture over, or are the links I put in here good enough?
Nah, I'll get it from here... haven't had time to update, though, so I'll get to it as soon as possible.

I'm sorry that I don't know why it's not working for you Balin999, but you seem to be the only one having a problem... maybe my server doesn't like you, or something ;) I honestly don't know.

[Kath]

people always think I am younger than my actual age

I see your point Lathriel. First time I looked at the photo I thought you were a teenager but a second look made me think you were older.

Balin maybe you should try using a different computer?

[Balin999]

What i don't get is the fact that it worked before and that I didn't change any of the settings.
(The Server DOES like me, oh yes, my precious, it does!)

[VanimaEdhel]

The problem with me is that people always think I am younger than my actual age.

I could see that. I'm the opposite - for some reason, people have always thought I'm older than I am. They started thinking I was nineteen or twenty when I was thirteen. Now it's not quite as big a discrepancy between my appearance and my age - I get twenty-one or twenty-two and I'm eighteen.

And cool, Tig. :smokin: Take your time - just making sure I'd done everything I needed to do.

[the phantom]

The problem with me is that people always think I am younger than my actual age
for some reason, people have always thought I'm older than I am
I've had both. I've been called all sorts of ages, plus and minus my real age.

When I was 18 I had a beard and a fairly adultish haircut and, especially when I was dressed up a bit, I was often thought to be in my mid twenties.

For a bit while I was 20 I was really clean shaven and I spiked my hair and, especially when I would wear a silly cartoonish t-shirt, I was mistaken for a 16 or 17 year old.

Yeah, I kind of go through phases. Right now I pretty much look my age. Maybe next year I'll be younger? :p

Facial hair does tend to make guys look older...and certain girls too, I would imagine ( ;) ). I'm bad at guessing ages in general, though, so I never try with people.

Now I have to pop back over to Tig's page and see your picture, phantom. That's a cool pic. Got a certain indie, IFC Film of the Week, maybe Pulp Indie even, feel to it. And you know, that makes sense to probably about two of you out there, so I'll just be quiet now.

[Durelin]

I've been called all sorts of ages, plus and minus my real age.
People have asked me if I was in college for several years now. Basically I think that was just to make sure they didn't offend me if in fact I was, but... Hopefully, when I reach that point in my life when I want to be called an age minus my actual, things'll change. ;)

I'm still trying to figure out obloquy's... Looks like something I'd have a nightmare about. So I give it two thumbs up. :p

[Kitanna]

It took me a while, but ever since I first saw this page I've been trying to figure out who Phantom reminds me of. I finally got it, he looks like some guy I used to work with. Which scares me because I desperately hated that job.

[Kath]

I was at this concert last night and I swear the guy on piano looked exactly like Snowdog. It was in Tenterden (I think) so was it you or do you have a doppelganger?

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Sorry to all of those who's pictures are rotting in my inbox. I've been pulling 6 day work weeks because a person was fired, and I've been getting stuff up on Ebay to sell to make my bills this month, and I've been having a garage sale, and I'm planning a trip to Chicago so that I may job hunt and apt search... and, well, I've been a wee bit busy. I do have the pictures, though, and I will get them up as soon as humanly... er... ghostly possible.

[THE Ka]

That's a cool pic. Got a certain indie, IFC Film of the Week, maybe Pulp Indie even, feel to it.

*Ka Bows* PRAISE THE MIGHTY IFC, AND IT'S SISTER SUNDANCE!!!

Sorry, I'm alittle addicted to indie films... Plus, you are completely right about phantom's picutre. It's rather intriguing... Makes you wonder if he has been in one of your favorite films.


~ Yes, Crazy Ka

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Ooh, new pics! How wonderful, thanks Tig!

Esty, your gown is gorgeous - and you did that by yourself!?

It's great to see new people revealing their faces although my images came crushing down. The biggest surprise was TORE's pic. I never realized that we have an own Smurf here at Downs! :p Seriously though, his new pic is really nifty!

[Kath]

Wow so many changes. TORE now has four eyes, Durelin has a (very cool) sword, and four new people! And I love the colour of your dress Esty.

[Mattius]

Hello everybody its been a while since my picture was added on the old site and I've changed slightly so keep your eyes peeled for my new picture appearing in the next few days.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Child, Esty, and Thenamir have come closest to rivalling Gandalf, but Legolas looks a little flat. :D

[The Only Real Estel]

Posted by Spawn:
The biggest surprise was TORE's pic. I never realized that we have an own Smurf here at Downs! Seriously though, his new pic is really nifty!

Oh great, I didn't even consider the copyright uh, rights. :eek: Oh well, inspired by Fea I couldn't resist messing around a little bit, no one said you had to look exactly like yourself in your pic. :D

[Durelin]

I have on of those cardboard Legolas's in my closet, sadly... My uncle thought I'd like it...

Maybe I should pull that out and practice some moves with my sword.

Oh, and just as a note, the only reason my pic is funny colored was because it was so blurry that I had to do something to make it look better...it's taken with my camera phone, which can only do so much. ;)

I think Oddwen looks very mischievous in her pic... :p And Esty's dress really is absolutely gorgeous...

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Esty, your gown is gorgeous - and you did that by yourself!? Why thank you! Yes, I sewed every stitch of it myself (many of them by hand, because of the delicate fabric); I did have a pattern (by Burda) for cutting it.

[the guy who be short]

Hurrah! I've found a pic of me where I deem I am not unattractive enough to actually send it in! I've emailed it, so all you TGWBS fans (*looks out at the small crowd*) stay tuned! ;)

[Bêthberry]

I think it was highly questionable and even improper to incorporate Legolas that way with the pictures of those Downers. As if we haven't done enough here at the Downs to hold the barricades against the Legoluvvers.

Why, it's enough to inspire me to start a pro-BD fan club and petition! The Truth about Lego is Out There" "Free BarrowDowners from Legolas Identity Theft!" "Stop Abuse and Impersonation Now!"

I foresee a glorious future. We shall be the Spittles--Stopping Personality Theft of Legolas Soon. The fangirls will have nothing on us! Of course, we'll need a photoshop pro to help undo all the copies of that picture! I'll talk lestat into helping us! I was okay with eyeliner, but this is a job bigger than I can tackle myself.

Oh, and, yes, while I'm posting here, I should say it's great to see those images of Child, Esty and Thenamir. :D

And I love Esty's costume. She is obviously a very accomplished seamstress. I'm just miffed that she didn't sew such a lovely outfit to meet me in last summer. :p ;)

[piosenniel]

Ahem . . . the Legolas in the pic was a stand in for me ;)

I sent him on a visit to her house a while ago . . . looks like he's made himself quite comfortable.

All that traveling and partying and his hair still looks great! What an Elf!

~*~ Pio - distant 9th cousin, very far removed, of Captain Obvious

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The gallery is really looking fantastic now. I'm loving Estelyn's costume too. But what's with the general lack of eyeliner? Someone's going to have to sort that out...

Is there a limit to how many pictures can fit on the page?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

If you're trying to weasel out of showing your face to screaming fangirls, 'Mer, then be assured there is plenty of room for you. :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

We'll get to see SamwiseGamgee too, I believe. Long have I wished to see such a mighty specialist of Wargs. I wonder if the legends about his eyepatch are true...

By the way Fea, it's nice to know that you're eager. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I never said I was one of them. :p

[Gil-Galad]

My brother(the one who got me on this site and LOTR) actually has a Gandalf the White Cut-Out

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

My second-cousin-by-marriage has an Aragorn cut out in his bar. I should take a picture with it... I was a little sad though... Either Viggo's only about 5'6" or the cutout isn't actually life size.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

New Rule: Only one picture change up allowed. I've been so crazy busy that it's hard to keep up with updates. So, please understand if your pics that you send take a week or more to show up on the page. So, if you've already changed your picture once, then I guess you're stuck... unless you buy me candy, or bow down before me, or...oooo... buy me a pony! But, yeah, I'm not doing it to me mean, it's just for the time being, especially since I may be moving in about a month and be without internet for a while.
Please keep sending in new pics, though :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Entirely understood. I was just theorizing anyhow. If people want to see other pictures of me, they can track me down on myspace. Good luck with the move, Tig.

[the guy who be short]

What Fea said ^ but with lots of synonyms and altering of phrases so that it looks like my own idea. ;):)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I think we should all chip in to buy Tig a pony just for the wonderful job she's done.

To be so busy and yet to do such a fine job makes me feel slightly bad about my own laziness. ;)

[THE Ka]

I think we should all chip in to buy Tig a pony just for the wonderful job she's done.

What type of pony? We could make a new breed for her, possibly by painting, or airbrushing it some colour. It might have to go in for regular detailing, but it would look awsome. I'll volunteer to do the painting, if someone can make sure it won't kick me or something... :)

Ah! The photo of Esty, Child and Thenamir is up! How wonderful to see you all! And I do agree, Esty that dress is unbelievably beautiful! You have worked a marvel that might well put Galadriel’s ladies to shame! Now I had better run before I use up my quota of exclamation points for the day!

Thanks for all the hard work Tigerlilly!

[Thenamir]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. That's Child, Esty, me, and some bearded fat guy that happened by when he smelled Child's fantastic cooking.

[Gil-Galad]

I think we should all chip in to buy Tig a pony just for the wonderful job she's done.

Maybe i want a pony too...imagine Gil-Galad riding a pony into a Horde of orcs, so could've been an acceptable addition to the movies... but anyways, beautiful job Tig

[Kuruharan]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. That's Child, Esty, me, and some bearded fat guy that happened by when he smelled Child's fantastic cooking.

That is exactly what I thought was going on there! :D

[Lhunardawen]

But what's with the general lack of eyeliner? Maybe you could start a new trend. ;)

[wilwarin538]

I'm in for buying Tig a pony. I think green would be a good pony colour. ;)

[Thenamir]

That really would be a horse of a different color.

[Mattius]

Don't think my email ever made it so I attached the picture to this post :)

[Mattius]

Also let me explain why I am holding my mobile in the picture, I am using the camara and taking a picture of myself in the mirror. Its not because I'm strange like that.

Honest.

[Lalwendë]

Someone new to look out for!

I bet you go in Corp, Mattius! ;)

[Mattius]

Holy crap I have a stalker! Yes Corporation is a home from home.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Woah! Matt, you are wholly as cool as expected, but otherwise absolutely nothing like how I imagined you! In my head you're....blonde, for a start.

Corporation?

[Mattius]

Yep I am naturally blond but I had black hair for a year or so, now its all gone because I shaved it off but I like that picture, I'll show you one where I have a mowhawk from about a week ago but I got rid of it. Corporation is a alternative club in Sheffield. If you ever make the visit across the Pennines check it out!

[mormegil]

Alatar you're similar to how I imagined you except the mustache. Cute kids by the way.

[alatar]

Alatar you're similar to how I imagined you except the mustache. Cute kids by the way.

Interesting.

And thanks for the compliment regarding the kids. As stated previously, thankfully they get their looks from Mrs. alatar.

[THE Ka]

I'm in for buying Tig a pony. I think green would be a good pony colour. ;)


Very good! Then, when she rides it across anything green, she'll give off the optical illusion that she can either float, or has an invisible pony as a pet. Wonderful idea! Only problem is, what shade of green? :)

great...WITCH WITCH! TIG TURNED ME INTO A NEWT

maybe summer green?

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

No no, I did get the picture Mattius, but as I said in previous posts, I've been far too bsuy for regular updates. It will get up there... patience, my friend.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mattius... not what I expected, though I can't say that I mind. Is that a piercing I see? Oh, just so you know... I can't remember if my image of you had any basis in fact, but there was a barbie involved. A British one. And you had blondish-red hair and were short and dorky. In a good way.

[wilwarin538]

Definetly lime green. ;)

Cool pic Matt. :D

[Mattius]

Interesting, I'm not sure what you meant about the barbie doll though... Anyway heres a more recent picture

[Encaitare]

Diggin' the mohawk. :D

[THE Ka]

I love your wall colour! A purplish-maroon? Or Autumn Berry? Just curious...


~ Ka

[Mattius]

Heh heh, nah its my girlfriends room colour. Two walls are purple and the other two are pink.

[Mithalwen]

Interesting.

And thanks for the compliment regarding the kids. As stated previously, thankfully they get their looks from Mrs. alatar.


Yes the moustache was a huge shock.........

bit like Anthony Edwardes in Top Gun........

[solarisa]

wonderful! great pic and good job tigerllily gamgee...

[Amanaduial the archer]

Heh heh, nah its my girlfriends room colour. Two walls are purple and the other two are pink.
Su-u-ure, so he says...;) Loving the hair though, Mattius - why would you shave it off?! :D

[Mattius]

Didn't really like it that much, plus now I don't have to bother styling it when I wake up which means I can sleep in for longer :D

[alatar]

Yes the moustache was a huge shock.........

bit like Anthony Edwardes in Top Gun........


Really? I assume that it timestamps me somehow (think the glorious 80's :) ) - and I'm never shaving it.

Anyway, not to be rude, but if one of you were to have horns growing out the sides of your head, I would just overwrite the image that I had. My mental pictures are always fuzzy - need to get new equipment.

[Oddwen]

I think Oddwen looks very mischievous in her pic...
That's because she hates cameras, me dear.

≈Odhdhwen

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Awww, you guys lucked out! I am home sick tonight, unlucky for me because I feel like blah, but I did finally get to do another update. I'm supposed to be going out of town on Thurs, so this bug needs to go away.

[Oddwen]

Great job Tig! http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/tweetz/hug.gif Sorry you're sick, though.
I regret I could not find you a green pony, but here is a moose. http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/otn/animals/elkgrin.gif
But mind you, møøse bites can get pretty nasti...

SamwiseGamgee seems to be in league with Absolute Evil. Notice one of Sauron's minions seated next to him in the torture pits of what can only be Angband.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ach, 'tis only his boss Oddwen. ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Eomer of the Rohirrim looks suspiciously like someone from my Church. hmmm...

[Kath]

You know Fea every time I see your photo you look more and more like one of my friends. I didn't see it at first but now it's hard to miss, how odd.

I had a bit of a shock when I saw TGWBS though, he looks absolutely nothing like the way he does inside my head!

Eomer happily looks as mad as he should.

And Samwise Gamgee looks as cool as he should - so all is well!

[the guy who be short]

Ooh, my pic changes when you click on it. Cool. :D What did I look like in your mind, Kath?

Eomer looks suspiciously Fallohidish.

[mormegil]

Ooh, my pic changes when you click on it. Cool. :D What did I look like in your mind, Kath?

Eomer looks suspiciously Fallohidish.

Well I can say that I find you very mature for you age, however I didn't expect to find you still on playgrounds :p

Eomer is a rather skinny Hobbit isn't he.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The Hobbit comments are not unusual to me. :D

Bruce's pic is just beyond cool.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Thanks again, Tig, I hope you get well soon!

TGWBS' new pic rocks! What a feel of serenity!

Samwise Gamgee looks quite pale and scary with that red nose and all but the guy sitting on his right side looks really nice. ;)

I think Eomer looks a little like Johnny Depp when he was younger... or a remarkably tall and fit hobbit. :)

[the guy who be short]

Well I can say that I find you very mature for you age, however I didn't expect to find you still on playgroundsCurses, you saw through me. I thought that, at a casual glance, peopl would presume I was in a (small) Buddhist temple.

Actually, the first (major) mistake most teenagers make in life is to leave the playground. This invariably leads to them "maturing" as you say, i.e. falling into adulthood, a complex and harsh world (which some would call reality).

That looks too deep and thoughtful. Anyway, playgrounds are fun, and swings in particular are relaxing, whatever your age (as Indians seem to understand). :D

It's amusing that you call me "mature" though. Most of my close friends would laugh at that. That said, a lot of people in the Downs imagine me as 18ish, some as Middle-Aged and a few as Gandhi (who people only remember aged 60ish),

I've noticed that, in that photo, my face looks sort of Gandhi-ish. :D

That is a really long response... I think I must be bored...

SamwiseGamgee's pic is excellent! To meet Ronald in person... wow.

[Durelin]

Is that eyeliner, Eomer? Goodness, you really do find everything you could ever want here...dead people, LotR, roleplaying, and guys wearing eyeliner.... ;)

TGWBS - You do look like Ghandi! :eek: Cool.... :p

[Encaitare]

dead people, LotR, roleplaying, and guys wearing eyeliner.... ;)

Mmm, guys wearing eyeliner...

Sorry, what? Spaced out for a second there. ;)

Eomer looks somewhat like Syd Barrett (http://www.themodernword.com/joyce/music/syd.JPG) .

[Lhunardawen]

Sorry to burst your bubble, Eomer, but it seems to me someone else beat you to the eyeliner trend. If you'll look closely, dancing spawn seems to be wearing eyeliner, too. Of course I could be wrong.

But if it's any consolation, I don't think anyone else in this forum with a Y chromosome would dare to do something like that. But again, I could be wrong.

the guy who be short looks nothing like I imagined him. But I like how tranquil you look in that pic. :)

EDIT: Eomer of the Rohirrim looks suspiciously like someone from my Church. hmmm... This is strange, but after a while he began to look suspiciously like someone from my church. :eek:

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

If you'll look closely, dancing spawn seems to be wearing eyeliner, too. Of course I could be wrong.

No, I'm afraid that you're right. I don't usually wear eyeliner (at least that much) but that was a kind of a special occasion.

Mr. MacCulloch looks very Gondorian!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Mr. MacCulloch looks very Gondorian!
He'd be aghast to read that - he is definitely a Dwarf!

[Lhunardawen]

Why do I have the feeling that Eomer and Bruce should be switching pictures? :D

[Mattius]

Thank you for putting my picture up Tigerlily!

[the guy who be short]

But if it's any consolation, I don't think anyone else in this forum with a Y chromosome would dare to do something like that [wear eyeliner]. But again, I could be wrong.:D

Well, fine, only once. I live in a town that would be quite adverse to any male wearing eyeliner on a regular basis. Ugh. (Also, not caring about my appearance by not, for example, gelling my hair or applying eyeliner means I get extra sleep :D.)

People keep saying I look nothing like they imagined me... what was different? (PM me unless you want to make it public...)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

TGWBS: you were older in my mind.

And did somebody say guys in eyeliner? *melts* There's just something about those tragically emo guys with the black floppy hair, slightly paler than normal skin, and dark eyes... *sigh* I mean... um... right. *runs away*

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'll have you know I am not an 'emo guy'.

It's closer to Clockwork Orange than whiny bands. :p :D

But dancing spawn looks much better with it than I do. ;)

I haven't seen Bruce post in a very long time but I'd love to hear the story behind that pic. tgwbs looks slightly psycho-killerish, just like I thought he would!

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

But dancing spawn looks much better with it than I do.
Nah, don't be so modest. The trick is to line your both eyes instead of just one. ;)

Mattius reminds me of one Finnish semi-celebrity (in the pic where he has more hair) but I just can't recall who... Both his pics are cool, though.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'll have you know I am not an 'emo guy'.
Actually, I had my thoughts trained on this guy that I'd like to know (he's a friend of a friend). Actually, he looks a bit like Mattius (with more hair). Mattius with the 'hawk reminds me of the time I convinced a buddy of mine to buzz himself one. His girlfriend was less than happy with me (though I told her to foist the blame on him, since it's not like he couldn't say no). Anywho... at that point, he looked a lot like Matt. Weird how people tend to look like people we already know.

[Encaitare]

Well, fine, only once. I live in a town that would be quite adverse to any male wearing eyeliner on a regular basis. Ugh.

Wear it anyway! Reject social norms, O Short One!

[Bêthberry]

Bruce MacCulloch is not only a dedicated and enthusiastic member of the Society for Ancient Anachronisms (or is that 'of' rather than 'for'?), but he also indulges in the ancient art of armoury. I know he has told some of us how he built himself a shield and it might be that he has built that very helm you see in the picture.

I cannot help but see Eomer as a folk singer from bygone days, ye formerly famous Donovan, he of colours, catch the wind, sunshine superman, hurdy gurdy man, and mellow yellow fame. They are both, curiously, born in Scotland. But Eomer's voice and humour here are nothing like Donovan's etheral songs of childlike wonder. Catch a few pics for comparison here. (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47F1CD24CA57F20C6933D41C5A07CE50CCC63 E99713304B41D5B63E068E0C6AE36FE49ABAC2B032F871B0FA 31A65A0FD686E75CF9D46C3C3E9D8EDB&sql=11:cx5ibks96akz)

I would never have pictured Eomer this way. Something more robustly Pythonesque I think, born under the shadow of Castle Doune, just down the road from Stirling Castle.

[Encaitare]

Oh my, Bethberry, you are right! Now Eomer is a combination of Syd Barrett and Donovan, mixing space rock and folk into a new hybrid which is juts luscious to the ears. :D

*and Enca prances off to the Gates of Dawn, waiting for the Piper and the Hurdy-Gurdy Man to come by, singing songs of lo-o-ove*

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

My mother and father would be ever so proud of those comparisons (though not more so than I)! :D

I had originally wanted to pose with a cup of tea (with the pinky outstretched, of course).

I'm surprised there are not more black-and-white photos, and I am delighted to represent Sepia in the gallery.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Eomer, you’re a true English gent! All you need is a top hat, a pocket watch, a pipe and a monocle!

Innocently I have all of these. :D And wear them as often as I can. And say things like "Jolly good show old boy!" and "What what?" and of course, "Splendid!"
Ah, I know its not doing the stereotypes any favours, but I like the idea that the americans seem to have, that ALL British people without exception, have huge manor houses, drink tea and have butlers. *Rambles off into the distance before being shot with crossbows fired out of cannons*

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Oh my, Bethberry, you are right! Now Eomer is a combination of Syd Barrett and Donovan, mixing space rock and folk into a new hybrid which is juts luscious to the ears. :D

Sorry, but Eomer is far more Sid Vicious than Syd Barrett.

"God save the ****ing Queen!"

Hookbill, I think that may be because all of us across the pond are secretly fantasizing that Lord peter Wimsey really does exsist and that if we went to England we could find him. That said, I thankfully don't have that image of all British people. My next-door neighbor is English, and he certainly isn't the Wimsey type. Actually, I didn't even realize that you were British untill the other day. I had somehow decided in my head that you were about 13 and American. Sorry!

[Mithalwen]

You take your like in your hands by telling Eomer he is an English Gent...... but ... I still think of him as looking more like a young Neil Oliver....

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oromin, I am deeply and personally insulted by the suggestion! :p

Nope, British and proud of it don't you know? Always have been. Hope always to be. I did actually mention this on my user information page. Although I think I say I live in "Good old Blighty" being a First World War term for Britain. [EDIT and I'm 17 earth years old, by the way]

But, before this post goes so off topic that The Barrow Wight explodes this thread, I'd better say something...

I like the armour Bruce MacCulloch is wearing. Looks kind of Rohan-ish!
But I think the page needs more Lord of the Rings related things in it!

[Orominuialwen]

Yeah I didn't figure out that you weren't 13 and American until I looked in your profile. :o This might possibly be because your picture (see, this is on topic!) reminded me of someone I know in RL who is American and several years younger than you are, and I just kind of blended you with him in my head. :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I thought of using my Eomer action-figure in the pic but then I realised that, next to Thenamir et al, it would have been a pathetic attempt to incorporate Lord of the Rings props.

And who's Neil Oliver? :confused: Should I be happy with the comparison? :D

[Mithalwen]

Oh yessssss Oh yessssss..... save that he is rather older than you..he is the historian on Coast and ..I think the term is "Thinking woman's crumpet"!!!!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/coast/images/neil-oliver.jpg

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'll take that! :D

However, there are still many many many Barrowdowners who need to get their pictures in that gallery. You know who you are. (and yes, I am allowed to say that now that I finally got my pic in)

*coughs*

[Mithalwen]

Well don't hold your breath for mine. It would take my soul away......

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well don't hold your breath for mine. It would take my soul away......

Well, this is the Barrow Downs, so that might be appropriate! :D

[Mithalwen]

Well, this is the Barrow Downs, so that might be appropriate! :D


I also fear it would be too traumatic especially for the Phantom ... and besides... it just won't happen.....

[Boromir88]

However, there are still many many many Barrowdowners who need to get their pictures in that gallery. You know who you are. (and yes, I am allowed to say that now that I finally got my pic in)

You better not waste your time waiting for mine either. I'm a little behind in the technology world. I don't got a digital camera, I think my cellphone is from 1998, and I just recently upgraded to AOL 9.0. So, first I need a digital camera, and the way my technology trend has been going it aint gonna be for a while.

[Firefoot]

I've been toying with sending in a pic for awhile... however, I don't have anything recent that I like, so the picture I sent in would probably be from when I was about 10. I have lots of pics that I like from when I was little... ;)

Besides, I like hearing how people imagine me. Especially phantom's recent, "She isn't a horse. She's a centaur." :D

But great pictures to everyone who has sent them in. Eomer, you do look like a familiar sort of friendly guy. Not familiar like I've seen you before, just... familiar. :p If that makes sense.

[Lhunardawen]

However, there are still many many many Barrowdowners who need to get their pictures in that gallery. You know who you are. (and yes, I am allowed to say that now that I finally got my pic in)

*coughs* They do? How, pray tell?

[Mithalwen]

I don't got a digital camera, I think my cellphone is from 1998


That must be a brick.... my 1997 one was fairly substantial. But the batteries never seem to last so I have had several since guess it may be inevitable that the next has a camera. I have an excellent 35mm cameras and no plans to change.....

[Thinlómien]

Thinlomien's picture is pretty neat.
Thanks :)

Has anyone other noticed that this has become such a praise page, that it wouldn't be a wonder that there'd be a Miss/Mister Barrow-Downs competition... :) ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

No excuse Boro. I don't have a camera either but I managed to borrow one. :p

Firefoot, I know what you mean, and thanks! :) Lhuna, you're already sending in a pic so I won't bother to answer your question ( :p ). Thinlomien, it's true; you're picture is very nice. Some people are just photogenic. How I envy them. I have a good pic/bad pic ratio of around 1 to 50.

[the guy who be short]

Dancing spawn looks nothing like I imagined her. I don't know exactly what I imagined, but your hair was down and you were less pretty... erm... *rephrases so as not to offend* more bland! *It still looks offensive* You know what I mean... ;)

Eomer - For some reason, I always imagined Eomer with straight, dirty blond long hair to about his shoulders. My mental image of him used to be so, laughing crazily whilst swilling a cup of tea around and dropping the contents over himself... Yeah. Anyway, again, more attractive than I imagined. Seems to be a recurring thing actually... maybe I should just imagine all the un-photoed Downers as models or something? :D Work on your eyeliner though...

Some people are just photogenic. How I envy them. I have a good pic/bad pic ratio of around 1 to 50.Sigh, I know what you mean. That's the only photo I could find of me that I was willing to show (which actually showed my face).

it wouldn't be a wonder that there'd be a Miss/Mister Barrow-Downs competition...Interesting idea...

Wear it [eyeliner] anyway! Reject social norms, O Short One!Hehe... well... I already reject most social norms anyway. I would just rather avoid wearing eyeliner with so many chavs around... Actually, I don't remember what eyeliner looks like on me. All I remember is that lip gloss doesn't suit me... :p

[Orominuialwen]

Those without a digital camera could use a regular photo and a scanner. There are sometimes one at the library, or you could always commandeer a friend's. ;)

[Boromir88]

I'm positive I don't have a scanner either...or if I do I don't know about it.

Eomer- The pic I did send in, is of course not myself but it may suit people's imagination of myself until I do get one. :p

Mith- I'm quite sure Europeans are much more advanced in Cellphone technology then us Americans. Talking to a German girl I met her Cellphone is something that we probably won't see in America until 2010. :rolleyes: So my Cellphone from 98 is probably something that came out in England in 92 or something lol.

[Encaitare]

All I remember is that lip gloss doesn't suit me... :p

That's alright... it doesn't look good on me either. ;)

[Amanaduial the archer]

So my Cellphone from 98 is probably something that came out in England in 92 or something lol. Nooo, I beg to differ. I should introduce you to my mobile phone, Boromir: there are more technologically complicated cereal boxes.

[Mithalwen]

I remember when my cousins uber-yuppie then husband was issued with a mobile phone by his work. It was the first any of us had seen close up (this was mid-eighties). It was like a old Roberts Radio with a standard receiver attached by a wire. It weighed about as much as a breize block and cost a small fortune.
Needless to say we gawped at it and said "it will never catch on......" . Now I have a triband clamshell that is so small I clip it to my bag so I can find it and it was not expensive .....

My friend had quite a spiffy little phone when I was in Florida in 99........

[THE Ka]

You people are lucky... I have yet to purchase my first cell phone. For some reason, I do not, something that drives friends and family mad. I like to remain 'unreachable' at times... Okay, make that most of the time. I prefer mail, electronic or not. Besides, pay-phones are fun to use... :D

Maybe I am just anti-new telecommunications, I do like my technology old.

As for digital cameras, I am divided. I do like them for their speed, but I prefer the certain memorable quality of black and white cameras...

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

*Please note*
Updates to the Barrow Downs photo page will be on hiatus for at least 3 weeks. I am moving in a week and a half, so my time will be spent packing and whatnot, and then I don't know how long it'll take me to get internet at my new place.
Sorry to those who have sent pictures to rot in my inbox :(
I'll make another post once I start making updates again.
Thank you, everyone.

PM me if you have any comments :)

[Knight of Gondor]

Hey, what's the status now? When can we expect new pictures to go up? I kinda submitted mine...:D

[Estelyn Telcontar]

See above post: *Please note*
Updates to the Barrow Downs photo page will be on hiatus for at least 3 weeks. Date: less than two weeks ago.

[Lathriel]

I send a picture before reading about the moving thing. So Tigerly, I'm sorry, take your time. I am patient. So if my new picture isn't on the site in another two weeks I don't care at all. I hope the moving goes well, and I hope your stress level will stay at normal. I myself am a veteran when it comes to moving and I know it can be a pain. (Or a joy)

[wilwarin538]

Well my picture day is Tuesday so if that pic turns out ok I might get to send that one in. :D

[Glirdan]

My picture day is coming up soon to but I don't know if I'll be able to send it in or when if I can.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

New pics added. I'm all moved, and somewhat settled.

Lathriel - I didn't see a picture from you, did you put a different name with it? I may have listed it wrong, if that's the case.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Welcome back, Tig. Glad to hear from you.

[Lush]

I really like Vanima's new picture. And Eomer of the Rohirrim's (dang). And Esty's (that's a hot outfit). And Mattius. And Knight's. And...well, I really like pictures of people in general. That's why I spend, like, half of my existence on the Facebook. Anyway, the pictures page is the new hotness here, and I'm just really grateful that Tig has put in the time to do it.

[Lathriel]

Well Tig I will just try again. maybe my server was just being stupid.
Nice new pics by the way. :cool:

[Sleepy Ranger]

Well I sent in my pic a few days back...

[wilwarin538]

Well it turns out I'm not getting my school pics this week but next week. My dad is leaving for a business trip this weekend(on thanksgiving :( ) and I can't get a scanner until he comes back. Soooooo, you won't see me for atleast another two weeks.

Ya it sucks. But no worries, you will be able to look upon by everlasting beauty in no time. :p

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I've been slacking on the photo page... sorry ya'll. Ever since I got this new job I've been spent. I'm working two jobs... sometimes 65 hour work weeks... I'm pooped. I have photos in my inbox, though, and will add them as soon as I possible can (if only I had photoshop at work).

[Sleepy Ranger]

If you need any help, I'd be glad to offer my service. :)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Ok, updated and added pictures that have been gathering dust in my inbox. I also added a second page and divided the pictures up for download sake. That one page was getting rather full.
Thanks for the offer, Sleepy Ranger, but seeing as how I host it on my server, I'd rather work on it by myself so as to keep my password private :-)

[mormegil]

Very nice Tigerlilly!

Lathriel which one is you?

[Lush]

Rinfanawen is bleedin' gorgeous. Hubba hubba.

Tig, you've done an amazing job with this.

Now if only I could brainwash darling Squatter into submitting a picture, the site would be *almost* complete. Although I imagine that we will continue to have an influx of wonderful new members whose pictures I would love to see.

[The Only Real Estel]

I've been slacking on the photo page... sorry ya'll. Ever since I got this new job I've been spent. I'm working two jobs... sometimes 65 hour work weeks... I'm pooped.

Uh...I don't think that counts as slacking then. :eek:

Your job & your personal life comes first, the photo page comes tenth. ;)

[malkatoj]

::does a happy picture dance because she has a picture::

Thanks for updating! I love seeing what fellow BDers look like, it's really never how you imagine them.

[Lathriel]

This page is really becoming a collection isn't it. I really like it, now I don't have to walk around with vague ideas in my head.

Wow. Most of you are actually human. Quite surprising. :p

Pictures can be decieving. :D

[Sleepy Ranger]

Pictures can be decieving. :D

I daresay I am sufficient proof of that. ;)

[wilwarin538]

Well my school pics sucked. :p Just as I expected. So Wayne(my bro) and I took a picture of the both of us. My dad just needs to get me a new chord to attach my digital camera to my computer, then you guys get to see both of us.

Now isn't that the best news you've heard all day? :D

[Valesse]

Now isn't that the best news you've heard all day? :D

Yes, I can't wait! ^_^
I'm feeling the newbie factor here considering this is my 34th actual post, but let me just say that I think Tigerlily's photo pages is stupendous. The chatroom version of BD never had it quite as together as y'all all do here, (and their photopages seemed to come in and out with the tides) so you can probably imagine me giggling and twitching with awkwardly anxious glee.

Don't think too much about it, its just the animated bones fixing their own kinks ; )

[Lathriel]

AQnother suprising thing is that we all look like we are still free of decay while some of you have been dead for years. Well I have to say make-up does wonders to one's appearance. :D

[HerenIstarion]

Embalming

[Gothmog]

Don't now if a newcomer like me is supposed to submit pictures, but now I've done it anyway. A bit mysterious picture though, there might come an other one later on. If I ever feel the need to.

Keep up the great work!

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

No, you can only send a picture if you've reached 1000 posts...

Only kidding... yes, newbies can send photos. That's great! I've received it, but I probably won't get it up until next week.

[Gothmog]

Sounds fine. And I'm not really such a newcomer as it may seem. Been around since the beginning of 2004, but took a break of almost a year. Well anyway, feel free to call me newbie, 'couse that's what I am compared with many of the BDers..

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Alright, new pics are up!
Oh, and I want to apologize to Boromir88. He sent me his picture a while ago and it got lost in my inbox. I just came across it today :-( So, I'm so sorry it took me an eternity to get that picture up, Boromir88.

[The Saucepan Man]

Ai! Gothmog is a cyborg!

And Boro has fangirls ...

:D

[Gothmog]

Oh there I am! Nice, Tigerlily!

I feel honoured to join such a fine collection of people!

But Boro's pic is so much cooler than mine :(

[Boromir88]

No need to apologize, it's gotta be a lot work to do all this stuff, I appreciate it. :)

And Boro has fangirls ...~Saucepan
Yeah, I couldn't let Legolas and Figwit take them all. :p

[wilwarin538]

I'm not sure if I'm missing out on some sort of joke or something but does anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance between Morsul and this actor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001019/)?

Is it supposed to be a picture of the actor, or does Morsul just look a lot like him? Or are they the same person?

I'm very confused about this. :o

In other news, I love the pics Boro and Gothmog, very cool.

[Gothmog]

Look at this (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1782/Events/1782/RobertCarr_Ausse_807079_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Carradine,%20Robert) photo..
I'm confused too! :confused:

And thank you!

[Glirdan]

Now you guys have me confused. Way to go!! :rolleyes: It really does look like him. If that actually is Morsul, than that means Morsul knows Hilary Duff!!! Creepy!!

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Hah, this is the message w/the photo from Morsul...
ok not quite so dramatic but i dont have a scanner so ive been searching the web for pictures that at least look like me...you know for your picture page thingy...yeah..so anyway

http://www.msi.umn.edu/~esevre/look...b-carradine.jpg

thats about as good as it gets right there

[Gothmog]

Oh, why didn't anyone tell me one could choose a photo of someone else! I think I look like, hmmm... Brad Pitt. Or maybe Tom Cruise? Or who looks best, girls?

:D ;)

Back to reality: I think the pictures where people have dressed up like ME people is superb! Like Bruce MacCulloch and KnightofGondor(like the sword). And I've always wondered about Gurthang's hide and seek game in the plant...

[Amanaduial the archer]

Eomer...I don't think you could look less like I imagined you. Admittedly I had imagined you as an animated black and white spaniel, but nonetheless... You remind me strangely of Tim Burton films. It's a pleasant surprise, but still...good lord.

Estelyn - your dress is absolutely exquisite. And that ain't a word to be used lightly ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I don't think that I ever gave my compliment's to Tigerlily Gamgee for this lovely photo page. This can ofcourse not be toleratet, therfore: I applaude the site and you. It is downright fantastic, simply otherworldly ! :)

I must say the looks of some of you have suprised me, mostley Boromir. :eek:

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I really just don't understand the "Fea's an Elf" statement that keeps cropping up. Compare it to the "Bonkers as Conkers" phenomenon and I've officially become Finwe's son. :D

Loving the page, Tig, though I have to admit that I have more fun allowing my imagination to wander in whichever direction it desires.

[wilwarin538]

hmmm... Brad Pitt. Or maybe Tom Cruise? Or who looks best, girls?

Definetely Tom Cruise. :p Actually you are a very good looking guy Gothmog, you could get away with being Tom Cruise. ;)

Again, Great job Tig! We definetely need to get to work on getting you that green pony.

[Boromir88]

I think Gothmog you can definitely pass as Tom Cruise.

Though I look nothing like Tom Cruise, I've been told that I dance like him....? :confused: <<<confused smiley

[the phantom]

I must say the looks of some of you have suprised me, mostley Boromir.
Not me.

I always imagined Boro as a guy that I'd kick back, eat pizza, and watch football with.

And sure enough- that's what he looks like.

[Boromir88]

I always imagined Boro as a guy that I'd kick back, eat pizza, and watch football with.

And sure enough- that's what he looks like.
And no doubt watch Mike-and-Mike in the Morning. :p

I must congradulate Tigerlily with this idea, and undertaking all the work behind it. (Yeah I know there's been the new page for a while now, but just kind of reinforcing to keep up the good work. :) )

[Cailín]

Oh, why didn't anyone tell me one could choose a photo of someone else! I think I look like, hmmm... Brad Pitt. Or maybe Tom Cruise? Or who looks best, girls?

Definitely Brad Pitt, though Gothmog himself looks quite okay to me as well. ;)

No one, of course, looks quite like I had imagined them. Then again, most of you are inanimate objects in my mind. Always surprising to learn you are talking to actual people who look all human-like.

Of course, I would send in a picture, but then I'd have to wait for someone to take one I accidentally look stunning in, and since, due to a childhood trauma (or say, traumatic childhood, cause my father is a photographer), I have camera fear, that might take a while. :p

Anyway, Tigerlily, I admire you for maintaining the photo page so well. It's quite an impressive gallery.

[Gothmog]

Thank you Cailin, Wilwarin and Boro :o *blushes*

Boro:Though I look nothing like Tom Cruise, I've been told that I dance like him....?

I was this ---><--- close of winning the title as "the balls Travolta" at my school ball (=prom) a few years back :D

Back to the topic... I feel the same as many before me: What, isn't he a cartoon character? And she doesn't look like that! etc.
It's hard to get over the first shock sometimes. I don't mean anything negative by that, it's just that many don't look as I imagined.

[Morsul the Dark]

sorry to have cause somuch confusion :p but in all seriousness if robert carradine and i weree to stand together you could bet we were brothers

also if you were to search my posts(i mean if you were really desperate to know) youd relize i give my almost full name alot
Andrew Edward Ma.....
so no im not Robert Carradine but that guy rules

[wilwarin538]

Alright, my pic has been sent in! :D Though I might send in a diffirent one at some point in the funture, not sure yet. ;)

So yeah, next time Tig updates, I'll be up there. :D

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

B88, great piccy! But who's that guy to the right of you in the Gondor uniform?

[VanimaEdhel]

Nice pics, Vanima.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Another update!
Also, just a reminder... please keep picture change requests to a minimum. Thanks :-)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I think I missed the last update, so for all who have since been revealed: foxy! :D

What a lovely bunch.
