These three gentlemen all have something in common, and the first two contain clues to who they are.
The third is just plain WRONG, but I could not resist! <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b">

#1. HER GADFLY AGENT
#2. MUTINEER WASH HAT
#3. RAWBONED SHAG TART

Good luck unscrambling! <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

[alaklondewen]

I don't know if Amandil is still around, but I want to solve these.

Now the answers two years later...

1) GANDALF THE GREY
2) SARUMAN THE WHITE
3) RADAGAST THE BROWN

[Eruwen]

According to the search engine, he hasn't posted since May 2001. So you can go ahead I guess. This sounds interesting.

[alaklondewen]

Well, I hope he didn't leave because no one answered his anagrams.

ULTRA HIND (a person 1 word)

[The Saucepan Man]

That'll be Legolas' dad ...

Thranduil. smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Yes! Do you think there is a group of house-wives out there that call themselves Thrandy-bobbers? smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

So, Thranduil is to Julio as Legolas is to Enrique? smilies/biggrin.gif

RING OF SAD BOG
GAINS BIG BLOB

Easy ...

[alaklondewen]

FRODO BAGGINS

BILBO BAGGINS

It wasn't too easy. I had to write it out on paper. smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

So did I to get the anagrams in the first place. smilies/wink.gif

The floor is yours, alaklondewen. smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

AID NUN

GRAVE ERR IT

One will lead to the other. smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

ANDUIN
GREAT RIVER. smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Correct! You're up. smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

Thanks smilies/smile.gif

GLUG RUAN

GROAND NORTH

[alaklondewen]

Okay, I have the second one:

NARGOTHROND

I'm sure the first one is glaringly obvious, but can you humor me and tell me whether it is a place also?

[ April 02, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Eruanna]

smilies/smile.gif Nargothrond is correct!
The first one is not a place but is connected to the second. smilies/smile.gif

[ April 02, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

[Silmarien]

Would Glaurung be the first one?

[Eruanna]

Yes, that's right. smilies/smile.gif
As you were both right, Alaklondewen and Silmarien one of you should go next! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Silmarien]

Sorry Alaklondewen, I'm going to jump in.

This is two connected people in one.

MINE OF WAR AND RAY

[Eruanna]

Is it Eowyn and Faramir?

[Silmarien]

Yes, my favourite couple.

[Eruanna]

SNOW DROWBAR

THAT GORN DRY

Two names but the ends the same. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

the first one could certainly be BARROWDOWNS, but I have no idea about the second...

[Eruanna]

Barrow Downs is correct!

The second one is just as easy, it is also comprised of two words. smilies/biggrin.gif

[ April 06, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

TYRN GORTHAD! the barrowdowns translated... smilies/rolleyes.gif how silly of me to miss it!

[Eruanna]

Well Done!

Your turn. smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

not terribly tough, and again, they go together.

ROAD THIN GORM

DANG BAN

-Sophia

[ April 07, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

[Nuranar]

ROAD THIN GORM = Thangorodrim

DANG BAN = Angband

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

perfect!

[Nuranar]

I can't say don't laugh...I did when I wrote them... smilies/biggrin.gif

SEAL FLAB
UN MINI DOLL

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

BELFALAS

MINDOLLUIN

yes? *hopeful*

[Nuranar]

Excellent!

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

SAM OR IM LUNG

GHOUL TIN RIC

are these supposed to make sense? It is definately beyond my powers to make them into any sort of recognizable phrase smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

That'll be MINAS MORGUL and CIRITH UNGOL.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Why so it is smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

OK - there's a theme, and they kind of make sense ...

WAR AGE HURT A MAN

and

GRIM MOLE

... my current favourite. smilies/cool.gif

[Eruanna]

I think I've got them....

WAR AGE HURT A MAN = AGARWAEN UMARTH ( Agarwaen son of Umarth, one of Turin's aliases)

GRIM MOLE = MORMEGIL (The Black Sword, another of his names)

Stands back hopefully smilies/rolleyes.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Yes, the ol' tragic hero himself, Turin Turamabar. smilies/cool.gif

So, Eruanna, the floor is yours ... smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

Ready for some more?

DIANNA ON DIRE EARTH
and
YE ATE FORMAL NATION

Good Luck smilies/smile.gif

[ April 12, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Yikes, Eruanna... seems we need more than luck smilies/wink.gif. I just want to congratulate you... I can't get anywhere with these... they're hard!

Sophia

[Eruanna]

Sorry, I forgot about these....perhaps a hint is in order?

They are connected...the first one leads to the second.....you could say it was an Annus Horriblis (I hope I've got the spelling right!)
Oh, and the first is two words, the second is three. smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif

[ April 18, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

[Eruanna]

The first one is in Elvish....and is described in the Silm. The second is English......any takers???

If nobody gets them I'll give the answers tomorrow so we can get the thread moving again smilies/smile.gif

[Nuranar]

I've got the first, but I'm still having trouble with the second. Even the slightest hint would be appreciated...

[Eruanna]

OK then....I didn't think they were too difficult (but then, I knew the answers smilies/wink.gif) The first one is:

NIRNAETH ARNOEDIAD or Tears Unnumbered

The second one is:

YEAR OF LAMENTATION

I guess the floor is open smilies/wink.gif smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

I'm so sorry Nuranar, I didn't notice your post before I posted the answers smilies/frown.gif

(Now that I've looked at the times on our posts, I think we were posting at the same time!)

Why don't you have a turn now? smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif

[ April 22, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

[Nuranar]

NELLY RANG SEA

BILL RIDDLE RAN ICE

[Eruanna]

I think the first one is

ERYN LAS GALEN which was the name given to Mirkwood after it was cleansed of evil. I'm working on the second......a hint would be nice smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

"Aha!" Cried Saucepan, leaping in, "I have the second one ...".

Idril Celebrindal. smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

Curses.....Saucepan Man.....foiled again smilies/smile.gif

[doug*platypus]

"A-ha! *snaffle-snaffle*" cried Doug, "But where's your next anagram?"

I was a little disappointed when I saw there were no unsolved ones, so I thought that I'd continue. Feel free to butt back in with your own, O Saucepan.

U LIVE IN THE UNLIT

MINE BEER ON ARCH

The first one is kind of relevant to the person or place, but I don't think that the second person or place ever actually put their beer on an arch.

[Eruanna]

They would be:

Luthien Tinuviel

and

Beren Erchamion

(Ha! Take that Saucepan Man! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif smilies/wink.gif )

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm. Poetic justice, I suppose ... smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Lol... poor Saucepan... you anagram people, go play on Tolkien's letters. It's great fun, and I can't spell smilies/wink.gif. Definately a challenge (doug*platypus' would have been great) because your words actually have to make a phrase.

[The Saucepan Man]

Your go, Eruanna ...

[Eruanna]

Sorry....I've been puzzling over Tolkien's Letters!

This is definitely easier smilies/wink.gif

O! A MARVAL

FLOOD FORTRESS

[The Saucepan Man]

O! A MARVAL = Valaroma, the horn of Orome

FLOOD FORTRESS = Lord of Forests, the translation of Tauron, one of Orome's names.

[Eruanna]

Correct, Saucepan. smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank you kindly, Eruanna. smilies/smile.gif Now, let's see what's on the menu ...

LOG FEELER LASAGNE

and

MONGOL FIGS IN OIL

[TolkienGurl]

The first (LOG FEELER LASAGNE) is Legolas Greenleaf, and the second (MONGOL FIGS IN OIL) is Gimli Son of Gloin!

~TolkienGurl

[The Saucepan Man]

You are correct, TolkienGurl. Well done. smilies/smile.gif

[TolkienGurl]

Thanks, Saucepan Man. Here are two new ones:

FRANK DINING GOLF DUE

CORDS OF VALE

Both are names for the same person.

[Eruanna]

I think these are:

King Finrod Felagund
and
Lord of Caves smilies/smile.gif

[TolkienGurl]

Yep! Good job, Eruanna! smilies/smile.gif

~TolkienGurl

[Eruanna]

Here are some more; they have a connection smilies/smile.gif

DR. K.E. BANNER

H-BAR, REST FOR TOUGH MEN.

Good Luck!

[Nerindel]

DR. K.E. BANNER - ERKENBRAND?

H-BAR, REST FOR TOUGH MEN.- MASTER OF THE HORNBURG? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eruanna]

You are right Nerindel.
Please proceed. smilies/smile.gif

[Nerindel]

LET REPO IN

LURE LINA


ok, I know it not very good but I can't think of anything else just know smilies/frown.gif

[Eruanna]

[Nerindel]

Your go Eruanna smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

Ok, try these:

THE B-LID AREA

THE FLEET ROW LOW

They are connected smilies/smile.gif

[Arestevana]

Ah-hah!
Barad Eithel
Tower of the Well

[Eruanna]

Well done!

Your go Arestevana smilies/smile.gif

[Arestevana]

Edit: OH NO! Scratch that, I screwed up. Okay, now I know why no one could figure them out. smilies/frown.gif

I've run ta all over.

Edit: I screwed up again! Okay this should be right.

[The Perky Ent]

Well, I'd say it's been more than 10 days, so:

The Grits Fawn

Bob No Hit

Have Fun!!!!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

It looks like
West Farthing
Hobbiton

[The Perky Ent]

Correct! Hmm, i didn't know it would be that easy....oh well. :( Your Turn

[luthien-elvenprincess]

All righty-folks...here's my try:

Want good dress for...
Who tried

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yoooooou-hoooooo, anyone around?;)

[bilbo_baggins]

the second one is 'third woe'? And the first one, are the periods included?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

"Third woe" is not correct. The periods are not part of the answer.:)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Helloooooooo (echo)...:)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Come on...this is a fun thread. Need a clue?

[Thorongil]

Something like that.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Clue: one is a group; one is an object.:)

[NightKnight]

I got the second one, it's the White Rod. As for the first one, is it something with "dragons"?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Nothing to do with dragons, but is connected to the White Rod:)

[symestreem]

Stewards of Gondor and White Rod

[luthien-elvenprincess]

yes, symestreem. you are correct. your turn.

[symestreem]

O, dad near in the rain!

For gain or for mad

"Mad" is a new synonym of loss...

;)

[NightKnight]

The second one is Faramir of Gondor.

[symestreem]

Yes, it is.

[NightKnight]

And the first one would be Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

[symestreem]

Sorry NightKnight, I was positive I'd replied to this already! You're correct.

[NightKnight]

Alright...here comes:

In your latter arms

and

Let echo in

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Elros Tar-Minyatur and Ecthelion :)

[NightKnight]

Correct on both counts. These were actually fun to make, but not as fun as guessing them. :D

[luthien-elvenprincess]

OK, here we go...

got football men
me king ross ( I almost said 'me kin gross'; but I didn't want to offend my family) :rolleyes:

[NightKnight]

It took a while, but I've got the answers:
Longbottom Leaf
Smokerings

[luthien-elvenprincess]

correct-a-mundo. :)

[NightKnight]

Thankies.

Can't bang Halo Lake

and

Cher floor-cha

The new dance. :D

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Ummmm... I got the second one right away. Its is Orfalch Echor.
But I need a clue to get the first one. Pretty please!! :p

[NightKnight]

Orfalch Echor is correct. Uhm...think Bad guy and First Age.

[NightKnight]

Nobody?

[Lindolirian]

I think you might be missing a "c", or perhaps it's just me but...
Is it Ancalagon the Black?

[NightKnight]

Yes, it's him. And sorry for the missing C, I blame it on my lousy handwriting. :p

[Lindolirian]

Gore is blare rate band, hm?

This anagram does contain two places including the word and. I wanted to put it together into one anagram because then it almost made a normal sentence... :rolleyes:

[luthien-elvenprincess]

could you have added an extra "e" and forgot a "t"?.....because then it could be
Brithombar and Eglarest....or else I am just plain wrong ;)

[Lindolirian]

Ah, yes you are right about both the "e" and "t" and the answer. Continue!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Him be flirt
For rent of nags

[Lindolirian]

Fimbrethil and Fangorn Forest!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Very excellent. Your turn.

[Lindolirian]

Bein' neln
Mad on el

[Bombadil]

[Lindolirian]

Of course.

[Bombadil]

On Loding

and

The tin vine I lulu

[symestreem]

Luthien Tinuviel
and Gondolin?

[Bombadil]

perfect! ;)

[NightKnight]

*Bump* Symestreem?

[NightKnight]

*Bumpity?*

Symestreem, it's your turn. *Pokes*

[NightKnight]

It's been a while now...

Turns to a far annal

and

Whiter spring hid chat

Good luck. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Tarannon Falastur

Cirdan the Shipwright

[NightKnight]

Correct on both. :) Please give us some new ones. ;)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Ok, these should be easy.

nill in quaestor mail

and

mild on wallow

[NightKnight]

Quenta Silmarillion and Old Man Willow.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

wow, I spent all of 10 minutes figuring them out...you took just slightly longer to figure them out! :p

[NightKnight]

Well, I looked through the other posts on the Forum before I answered them. ;)

Hand of (Lucy) Liu

Lame gin

In the first one, Lucy isn't a part of the anagram.

[Eruanna]

Is the second one Maeglin?
Still working on the first :)

[Son of Númenor]

The first, I believe, is Fanuidhol, the Elvish name for one of the three Misty Mountains.

[NightKnight]

You both have one correct answer each, so now it's first come first serve. ;)

[Eruanna]

I am happy to yield the thread to Son of Numenor :)

[Son of Númenor]

Thanks, Eruanna. Let's just say I own you one. ;)

Here's an anagram true to the this threads 'silly' name:

A Big Hag Toll

[NightKnight]

Gabilgathol, more commonly known as Belegost.

[Son of Númenor]

Take it away, Knight.

[NightKnight]

This one then?

Newer gay

Probably too easy. ;)

[NightKnight]

Come on! *Bumps*

[wilwarin538]

is it a place or person? ( I`m kinda new at this)

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Greenway!

My first post in the Quiz Room, so I hope I got it right!

[NightKnight]

You have it Fordim, and welcome to the Quiz Room. I hope you'll stay here. ;) Your turn. :)

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

OK, I have no idea if this is easy or hard or what. I leave it to the experts:

Furriers stomach boa

(It's sort of a sentence.)

[NightKnight]

The Corsairs of Umbar

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Righty-o.

[NightKnight]

It's strange, I solved that one quite long ago, but obviously never posted the answer. Anway...

FORGOIL R EL ADMIRAL

Spanish, navigating rohirrim. :D

[NightKnight]

Anyone?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Emyn Arnen

[NightKnight]

And now I would really like to know how you got 17 letter down to 9. :p

[luthien-elvenprincess]

sorry, computer glitch...I was trying to post in a different thread...I have no idea how this answer ended up here! :confused:
Perhaps a clue for this one?
