[Mad Baggins]

I found Scatha...

[The Laurenendorian]

Good find.

There's another word in there.

[LePetitChoux]

And it was doing so well...

A week has, in fact gone by, so I'd guess that it's anyone's turn.

:)

[Samwise]

Arrgh. I always liked this game; 'fraid I can't see anything in that, though. :(

[NightKnight]

A week? Rather three months...:p

[Samwise]

Hope it's okay if I start it up again...:)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day it was the same thing. To and fro, to and fro, do this, do that.

" I am tired of this!"

She lobbed her water bucket and list of chores aside. "I'm going to work for someone besides the Sackville-Bagginses! "
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only 3 words really meant to be found in that. Should be easy.

[Samwise]

PS: If it's not okay, somebody who should be going please go. Sorry, would have edited my message to add this, but every time I try, I'm told I don't have permission. :rolleyes:

[The Saucepan Man]

Of course it's OK Samwise. :) And I hope you don't mind if I have at it. ;)

the same thing to and fro, do this She lobbed Sam, Frodo and Shelob?

[Samwise]

Thank you, Mr. Saucy, sir, and you would be correct on all three counts. ;)

[The Saucepan Man]

Dear Wendy

Having a great time on holiday. The sun is shining. We have spent a lot of time in the swimming pool. We took a boat ride round the coast yesterday and saw a puffin. We also went fishing and I caught a mackrel. We plan on cooking it for dinner tonight.

Today we had lunch in the café. An oriental gentleman served us. I tried the shark’s fin (*arf*) in white wine. Tomorrow I may try the shark’s fin in black bean sauce. All they seem to have on the menu is shark’s fin.

Golfing is on the agenda for tomorrow. Then, after that, we’ll see how we feel.

Ron dearly misses you.

By for now.
XXX
Nine to find. :)

Lots of elven lords there. :p

[The Saucepan Man]

Spot on, NightKnight. Please continue. :)

[NightKnight]

I will do that tomorrow. It's 3:30 AM here, and I'm too tired to make something good up. :p

[The Perky Ent]

Guess you didn't make one up NK, so my turn!


If you like shopping, go to a mall. They have lots of goods and cloths and toys and junk. But if you want food, don't go to a mall. Unless it's something like subway, where you can get something to eat!But i'm talking about food to stick in your fridge! One store that i particularry like is Sav-a-Lot! Ho! If you haven't been, you have to try their fruit! It's to die for! Also, try going to it's rival, Sav-a-center, where prices are really cheap. The food quality is equal and they have a ten item or less line!


Well, have fun!

[Samwise]

Eh...NO clue....? :rolleyes: :confused:

Dom ?

[The Perky Ent]

Um...no! I see a Don, but no Dom! PS, when you answer, please quote so i know what you're saying!

[Samwise]

Sorry, got this mixed up with another thread. ;p
Are are the words spelled correctly, or phonetically?

[The Perky Ent]

it's correct, or at least the area where the word is is correct! ;) Having a little trouble are we?

[Samwise]

Well, I've never been good at this game, truthfully, and I don't see anything remotely LOTR related in that paragraph.

[The Perky Ent]

That's funny, because i see something very LOTR related. Need a hint?

[Samwise]

...I guess I need a hint, 'cause I don't see anything.

[The Perky Ent]

This is a big hint, so you owe me, but...it's a hobbit!

[Kath]

Lotho. Its Lotho!
Um . . . Sav - a -LOT. HO!

[The Perky Ent]

it is most certainly lotho!

[Kath]

Yay - darn this means I have to make one up.

I don't know how many of you have read the Discworld novels but my favourites are the ones about Commander Vimes and his wife Sybil. Both of them are very funny, as are the books.

One word and its very easy.

[Evisse the Blue]

Well, I got two, Rethe: are the and Bilbo: Sybil. Both , but I guess the first just happened to be there by coincidence :)

[Kath]

See said it was easy.
I was only looking for Bilbo so you got it right, but extra points for rethe!

[Evisse the Blue]

Thanks for the extra points, Kath.
Ok, let's see...

He pushed open the door of his room in the new age hotel. 'A normal one would be better', he thought gloomily. The radio in the walls was shrieking: 'Life is a cabaret, old chum'. Barely seeing his way through the dimly lit room, he moved towards a many- layered window to pull open the blinds. 'Cabaret, heh, yeah, right!' he mumbled ironically, at the scene that greeted him.

There's four to be found.

[Kath]

You're welcome.
I found:
ent - opEN The
elanor - hotEL. 'ANORmal
sam - towardS A Many
rethe - cabaRET, HEh

[The Saucepan Man]

There's also " A normal one" - Ormal.

[Evisse the Blue]

Kath, you got two that I had in mind (Elanor and Rethe) and two which I didn't (Sam and Ent), for which you get a bonus! :D
Saucepan Man gets bonus point as well for Ormal.

There's still two place names to be found though, so keep browsing! :)

[Kath]

I can't really see amy more except that every time I look at it I find
humbar - cHUM'. BARely

[Mad Baggins]

I found Oin:
radio in

And you may see humbar, but I see Umbar.

[Evisse the Blue]

umbar is correct but you keep missing that heavenly place called ....

[Mad Baggins]

'A normal

I found Anor, as in Minas Anor. That's the best I can do...if that isn't it I'm stumped.

[Evisse the Blue]

You're right , Mad Baggins, but there's yet another one...ok, I'll give it away - it's Aman - towards A MANy.

Now, for points - Kath got four,
Saucepan Man- one,
Mad Baggins - three.

According to this, Kath should give us the next one! :)

[Kath]

'Quick! Eat that ham faster, we have to lay forth the anchor and save Frodo!"
Three to find and no Frodo is not one of them.

[Thorongil]

HAM FASTer - Hamfast
EAt - Ea
TO Lay - Tol, as in Tol Eressea

[Kath]

Hamfast is correct but I wasn't looking for the other two. Points for Ea but not for Tol as I'd have put the whole thing in.
Two to find.

[Kath]

Come on people, its not that hard I swear!

[NightKnight]

lay forth the anchor

That would be Orthanc. I don't know if that's one of the words.

[Kath]

Yep, one more to find.

[Kath]

OK this is obviuosly stumping people - clue:
its in the last word

[Fingolfin II]

Is the last one ODO (as in Odo Proudfoot)?

[Kath]

Indeed, take the stage.

[Kath]

Fingolfin II? Are you around?

[The Perky Ent]

10 day rule!

It's amazing how stupid men can be. Especially from Numenor. I mean, they're so stupid! They go charging off, sending every person to their deaths! I know what a faithful would said. He'd say "Well I'm not suprised! They're idiots! Especially Ar-Pharazon. He was definitly a powerhungry idiot of a man! We actually have the common sense not to do stupid things. That's why we survive!"


Find the hidden person!

[Evisse the Blue]

I found Sam (it'S AMazing) and Manwe (MAN! WE actually)

[The Perky Ent]

You found Sam? Rock the socks! I had no idea that was there! The one I was thinking of was Manwe, so your go!

[Evisse the Blue]

"The river froze, Dora, see - like I told you!Let's go skating! We'll be back in time for lunch!
Two to be found.

[Firefoot]

Edoras (frozE, DORA, See) and Ingwe (skatING! WE'll)

[Evisse the Blue]

Correct, your turn!

[Firefoot]

Thanks!

The armor went when the knight left, but he forgot the helmet. He also left his horse.

[Samwise]

I found Ent (went) and ea (or is that a word...?He also ....but how many words are there? :confused:

[Evisse the Blue]

There's also Morwen (arMOR WENt)

[Firefoot]

I only had one that I intended. It was Morwen, so Evisse, you're up.

[Evisse the Blue]

Here's the next:

Someone's sabotaged my Video Game! A rascal was he who done it! Now I can only play Sam at all levels! (true story, btw... :( )

Two to be found. (Sam is not one of them)

[LePetitChoux]

Mearas and er... Calwa?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The other is Nessa?

[Evisse the Blue]

Mearas and Nessa are the ones I had in mind, so any of you can go, whoever thinks of a new one first, I guess. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

New one:
Children, please color in and around the blank spaces, link erroneous cat hat all together.
Three words in this one.

[Gil-Galad]

all i got was Olorin... must be first time bad luck...

[The Perky Ent]

Scatha?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Perky, Scatha is, indeed, one of the three.
Gil-Galad, wow, I didn't see that one! However, it is not one of the three I intended. :)

[The Perky Ent]

Yay!

So this one day, I was biking to the library, going to check to see if they had The Adventures of Tom Bombadli, and on the way, I passed Sports Authority. As I looked through the window, I saw their shoe display. On the display was a really good pair of shoes. So, I forgot the library and went home. My mom was cooking at the time. I went up to her and said "Mom, can I have money for new shoes?" She staired at me and said, "What's wrong with the ones you've got" And to this day, I still wear the same pair of shoes

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Perky, what is this? :confused:
My puzzle hasn't been correctly answered yet.

[The Perky Ent]

oh
i'm sorry. I thought you said I was right. I had no idea I had to answer 3! Usually you only answer 1...

[Samwise]

Slinker

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Samwise has one right, so does Perky. If either of you get the third answer, you get to be next! :)

[The Perky Ent]

Ea?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

nope, thats not it. Actually, Gil-Galad was kinda close with his guess :p

[The Perky Ent]

Lorinand?

[Samwise]

Orin?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The correct answers are Lorinand, Slinker and Scatha. So, Perky got two of the three right, and Samwise got one right. Therefore, Perky, it is your turn. Good job!

[The Perky Ent]

Yay! Here's the next one:

From wordls related to Tolkien (in any possible way):

Ent
King
Dis
Oin
Ea
History of Middle-Earth
Oxford English Dictionary


Any hits?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope, but here's a hint: Mom's got the answer :D

[Samwise]

"What's wrong with the ones?

I really have no clue....?

[Evisse the Blue]

"She stared"
Estarë?

[Kath]

Hey is the Perky Ent around anymore? And if not does someone want to take up the thread?

[The Saucepan Man]

Time to revive this one, I think.

To start us off again, a fairly easy one. There are six related words to be found in the following passage:

In July, the Lombard infantry were encamped in the chasm. August found them taking the mountain path, rushing to secure the pass, where border raids allowed them to encroach upon the Germanic archers.

[Kath]

That's all I could find, I'm a little unsure about Bard.

[The Saucepan Man]

That's six, so the thread is yours, Kath. :)

[Samwise]

:cool: Yes, please go, Kath. My brain needs excersise.

;) Interesting icon, there, Saucepan Man...

[Kath]

Thanks to Mettare for the poke. An easy one to get things going again. Two words to find.

Geri adores her new friend but says, “Am I old enough for a puppy?”

[Samwise]

*says, "AM "

Sam...can't find the other one...:(

[Mithalwen]

Geri adores her new friend but says, “Am I old enough for a puppy?”

Eriador I am sure of but Sam may be accidental...

[Anguirel]

Eriador and Sam-

G eri ador es

and say s am as above.

[Kath]

Correct Mith! And just in before Ang too.

[Mithalwen]

Give him razor, hairbrush and soap to restore elan or have the smelly goblin directed to Mordor...

[Kath]

How many words Mith?

[Anguirel]

Imrazor, Elanor, Lindir and Tom (possibly unintentional).

him razor

elan or

goblin directed

to Mordor

[Mithalwen]

Three ...Ang is spot on even to the unintentional bit.... which perhaps compensates for being pipped before..:D

[Anguirel]

Car ant hired in media controversy-mag lord Murdoch comments "I am Rastapopoulos of modern era-even insects slam rod of iron into my rivals."

Okay, it doesn't make that much sense...four names.

[The Saucepan Man]

Ang being the question setter, I probably should have guessed it without even looking at the clue ... :D

Car ant hired in media controversy-mag lord Murdoch comments "I am Rastapopoulos of modern era-even insects slam rod of iron into my rivals."

Caranthir
Maglor
Amras
Amrod

What, no Maedhros? ;)

[Anguirel]

I sort of copped out on Maedhros...well done Sauce...

[The Saucepan Man]

Thanks Ang. :)

Giles and I both played up front for our local football team. Whenever a goal was scored, it was always either him or me. Giles had a great talent for scoring goals. He could fire footballs into the net with ease. He had a real cavalier attitude, and it always seemed to pay off. Whenever he had the ball, he only had eyes for the goal, a target for him alone and no one else. He was my rival, essentially, which I always thought odd. We never really hit it off together.

“Look at his skill,” people would say.

“La La La!” I thought jealously. “I’m better than him.”

But, more often than not, I would find myself off-side when I made my runs and constantly had to endure linesmen’s calls. I guess I had to accept in the end that he was simply better than me. So, whenever jealousy struck, I took refuge in penitence and recited Ave Maria.

Still, we had a great football kit. Ann, a local artist, designed it for us.There are the same number of words to find as there are in players in a football (soccer) team, all related. :D

[Mithalwen]

Very clever ..8 found but I have to get back to work now :(

[Mithalwen]

I am not sure that Red is intentional ..Gil is there of course but since that isn't his full name..

Almost hope Red isn't right becasue this will be such an impossible act to follow!!

Edit no not red ..mormegil.. knew there had to be a reason why Giles ... oh bother ...

[The Saucepan Man]

Spot on, Mith. :)

Red was unintentional.

No pressure, but I'm looking forward to a real brain teaser from you ... ;)

[Mithalwen]

Well I was going to cop out, type up something random with no names deliberately included by me and let you all sweat... but since there's no pressure, I guess I'll spend all weekend with Volume XIII of HoME and the OED..... :rolleyes:

[Mithalwen]

I am working on something - despite having been psyched out by SpM ;) ..I will be with you asap...

[Annunfuiniel]

I rather liked this quiz way back when I was a bit more active in this forum... So perhaps it's time to revive the thread. :)

There is a code, or rather a key to this riddle. To find it go though elms' shadows, towards south.
Amass gold, wine and other luxuries if you don't want to celebrate your find with ale. The end.

Enjoy! ;)

[Samwise]

:confused:
Helm's?

[Kath]

Haleth is in there.

Are you going to tell us how many we have to find?

[Annunfuiniel]

Well done, both words (Helm & Haleth) are correct. :)
But there's still 3 to be found.

[Kath]

What about Oldwine and Deor? I'm relatively sure I made the first one up, not sure about the second!

[Eönwë]

How about Deor and Goldwine

edit: x-ed with Kath

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes yes, keep up the good work! :D

Goldwine was one that I was thinking about, and Deor is correct, of course.

Now, one to go...

[Eönwë]

How about Otho?

[Annunfuiniel]

Oops, Otho was unintentional. :)

All the names (or rather characters) found so far are closely related - and so is the last one.

[Thinlómien]

Is Hama the last one?

[Eönwë]

Is Hama the last one?

Agh! foiled agin!

[Annunfuiniel]

Hama is indeed right answer - well done, Thinlómien. :)

Now, whose turn is it? :confused:

[Thinlómien]

Now, whose turn is it? :confused:I have no idea - I've never played this game before. But I'd suggest giving it to Eönwë as he found most of the names...

[Eönwë]

A Nazgul more powerful than Sauron or has a fierce leg or monstrous head is not possible. But if it's ear end Ilmarë touches it is too tall as well.

The second sentence doesn't really make sense (But this is my first time ever playing this game).

[Kath]

I've got Celegorm and Earendil?

[Aganzir]

Ulmo and Dis.

[Eönwë]

Ok, I think that's it. A nice easy "chestnut", so to speak.
I was only thinking of Ulmo, Celegorm and Earendil, so I think it goes to Kath.
