View Full Version : Qs and As about FOTR (the movie)... but I only want WRONG answers

I hope the title says it all. Still I'll explain how the game goes anyway.
Okay, I will ask a question about FOTR, the movie and the next person will have to give me a WRONG answer for it. The answer can be ridiculous, or funny as long as it's WRONG. Then this person will pose another question and the third person will continue on... get it? You always have to answer the question posed by the person above you and then come up with a question of your own for the next person.
Simple enough?
I'll start:

At the council of Elrond they all played with Barbie dolls untill it was WAY past bed-time. Merry and Arwen got into a fight because she said that he stole her Ken Doll, but that's not true. Aragorn threw Ken in a toilet and she was covering for him because she knew Elrond would be mad when he found that he needed to call a plumber.

A kitten. Sam went wandering off, cos he heard a soft noise, and found a little kitten. Gandalf got embarrassed cos he had thought that there was actually something dangerous in the mines. Sam got to keep the kitty, and Bill wandered in after them, so Sam then had a pony, and a kitten.

There were 5 Olympic Rings given to the 5 Istari (Athletes). These rings gave the athletes corporate sponsorship power but corrupted them each according to his personality and ability. Saruman whined and whined until he was given a gold medal that matched Gandalf's. Radagast threw the bronze-medal game - he was bought off with a pair of running shoes and a case of cola. It was believed but never proved that Gandalf cheated. Rumours of his steroid use and blood-doping are still circulating in Middle-earth.

It's hard to say... depending on the age you are talking about, at first she wanted to be rebel so she dyed it pink, but she didn't like it and she ended up with green hair, , then she went through her "goth phase" and dyed it black (alongside her clothes). Nowadays she went from blonde to redhead several times, and still can't decide which one suits her best.

Why are the Hobbits' feet so tough?
Birdland
04-06-2002, 08:12 AM
When hobbits are born their feet are just like everyone elses. But the mother hobbit lovingly holds her child's feet to a belt sander every night. This eventually builds up tough callouses on the soles. (If the mother hobbit is good at it. It takes practice.)
As they grow, the children will do other things to get the perfect Halfling look; such as running on cinder tracks, stomping playfully on the feet of friends and siblings, and wading in lye.
Also Hobbits sleep suspended upside down in special "toe slings" so they can get the requisite length.
It sounds like alot, but it's all worth it. After all, who's going to marry a Hobbit with little, soft, naked feet?
Question:
How did dwarves mine mithril?
Nevfeniel
04-06-2002, 09:11 AM
They don't really. That's just a myth. Actually, the dwarves have nothing to do with it. They take credit for the Elves who own a factory making mass-produced mithril swords, chain mail, etc.

How do elves make lembas?

Lady Galadriel, your answer was better than mine! Anyways, the Elves make lembas by calling up their good friends in the land of Keebler to get the recipe. Then, their good friend Martha Stewart comes over and makes the lembas according to the recipe, since the Keebler Elves can't write in anything except their own native language, and Martha is the only one who can translate.

[ April 07, 2002: Message edited by: Alcarinque ]

The ring bounced down the mountainside and rolled into a lembas factory. There it disappeared into one of a vast batch of magically delicious Keel-Gilad Elven Cookies. Rather then waste the whole batch, the elves stamped the boxes "Find the Ring and win a prize!" and sent them throughout Middle Earth.
Sadly, this particular recipe was not a hit with the public, and the Ring languished for thousands of years in "infinite shelf-life" oblivion...
'til one day, a particular hobbitish creature name Smeagol, coming down from a 3-day bender and having a really bad case of the munchies, wandered into a Gladden Field convienence store and grabbed the first thing he saw off the shelf...and the rest is history.

Why is Gandalf wearing a pointed hat and Sauron doesn't have one?

Elves have long hair, because that's the source of their greatness in archery. The long hair makes them see more precisely, and if they cut their hair, they will end up blind, at least while it grows back. A short haired elf is usually short-sighted as well.

Q: If you took the wings of seven Balrogs and divided them by the number of Entwives, what colour is Legolas' hair?
Nevtalathiel
04-10-2002, 11:49 AM
Do you mean african balrogs of asian balrogs? How old are the entwives and how many ents are they each married to? Does it matter (i.e. if one entwife is married to two ents, does it cout as two entwives?) How much hair does Legolas have and how long is it? Does thes question in any way constitute a test,the mark of which will affect the rest of my life? Is it an open book test? Can I have some time to revise?
Ok, I'm revising for GSCEs at the moment, so I'm getting kind of paranoid since my revision so far has consisted of visiting the Barrowdowns and watcvhing TV! Back to the point though, if the number of balrog wings is greater than the number of entwives, the colour of Legolas's ahir is equal to the sum of the number of surviving Istari and the smell of Sauron's feet. If however, the number of balrog wings is less than the number of entwives, Legolas's hair colour can be calculated using the number visions of Galadreil's mirror minus the age of Elrond. If the number of balrog wings equals the number of entwives, Legolas's hair could either be stripy or dotted, but the colour is impossible to determine.

Manwe
04-10-2002, 03:02 PM
[boring scientist voice]Well, this question were brought up way back in the bigining when Eru was trying to make the incompetent Ainur making at least one singel sound that didn't gave him headaches. Then, that very moment I remember well, Aragorn sneak up behind Eru and said 'Boo!'. This didn't just get the efect that Eru had to change trouses, but also the famous word:'What the CENSUR are you doing your little, little ... little, Dunadein. I want you all to notice that that word was at first a insult, and it sounds like something you find under a rock with very many or no legs, yes? However Aragorn thought that Eru was very unfriendly and dissapeard eith 'pop!'. But the effect was also that all of the Ainur laught at Eru and Melkor made a not-so-nice song about the event, of course that was erased in the official version.
Later on Sauron made a ring that, if it were placed on the exactly rihgt place, at the exactly right time, would reveal the the answer. But Aragorn was able to fool many people, Gandlf, Elrond, Bilbo, Denethor, Galadriel and Gimli are only few of them.
But now, Manwe inc. (R), proudly presents the answer. The fact is that Aragorn, when he first stepped in to the univers, decided to be 2,54 +- 0,00033148 years. Which isn't a very good age for a king. No one should be able to see him in the eyes, yes, but not because the was frightned, but because they were laughting their heads of. He also signed the no-aging-contract, so he's still about 2,5 years.[/boring scientist voice]

Why did Sauron make 20 rings and then give 19 of them away?
Know Peace !
smilies/evil.gif
Nevtalathiel
04-11-2002, 04:51 AM
Sauron was not a very good ring-maker. The first 19 rings were trial ones while he perfected his art. The first 3 were made of the wrong stuff, which burned away people's fingers when they put them one. The next 5 were slighty large, so he gave them away as necklaces. He learned his lesson after that and consequently made the next 2 far too small and had to give them to a couple of ants who happened to be passing by. The next one he acidentally trod on while it was hot, so it was a bit of a funny shape. By this time it was nearly Christmas, and being of a stingy disposition, Sauron decided to make presents instead of buying them. so, that year, his mum, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, 2 cousins, sister and wife all got cheap poor quality rings for Christmas. By now Sauron was tired of making rings, but still needed one for himself, so he just used the next one he made, despite the fact that it had the annoying habit of changing size!

Birdland

It's actually "Valkilmer", a mid-level Dúnedain. He was also known as "Val the Unlucky" for his unfortunate career choices, or "Valkilmer the Wanker" for his propensity for drinking too much ale and getting into drunken rows in Bree.
It is said that when Aragorn called for the Dúnedain to join him on the Paths of the Dead, he specifically stated "But don't tell Valkilmer. He's best left at home."

Hobbits, standing at only about 4 feet tall, are incapable of changing light bulbs. Instead they must await the yearly visits of Gandalf, the all hailled ligth bulb changer, who will change their lightbulbs for them if they agree to go on a dangerous quest. If the quest involves the fate of the world, they even get thier own free ligthbulb to take home!

Why did Boromir want to take the Ring?
Birdland
04-14-2002, 07:50 AM
It is a little known, and seamy, fact that Boromir was not actually the son of Denethor, but was the product of a one night stand between his mother, Finduilas, and Röac, the raven of the Lonely Mountains.
Now we all know that ravens like to collect shiny things, and Boromir was merely giving in to his "raven nature". He was going to keep the Ring with his collection of broken glass, tin foil, marbles and chewing gum wrappers that he kept back in Minas Tirith.
But ravens are also honest creatures, and will leave something in place of the shiny object they take. Boromir intended to justify the taking of the Ring by giving Frodo a bottle cap.

After leaving the Fellowship, Frodo and Sam arrived at Brunswick, in Germany. There they met up with some fellow midgets and formed a Pop band, naming themselves the "Flaming Shires" and have this hit song to their immense credit...
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.
Halfling, Halfling, Baby !
Halfling, Halfling, Baby !
Halfling, Halfling, Baby !
Halfling, Halfling, Baby !
Sung to the tune of "Cherie Cherie Lady "
Which they plagarised off another group of midgets.
Having made quite a fortune from this venture, the two of them retired. But owing to their nature as adventurers they set off on another quest about a Lady of the Lamp, this time to places over the sea and were never heard of again to this hour.

"What happened to Éowyn?" indeed! This is the question that Theoden King would ask constantly as she galloped happily through the fields of Rohan, bringing home orc heads, practicing her swordsmanship on the local peasants, and learning to spit accurately.
"She takes after Éomund, dear", said his long-suffering wife, Elfhild.
Sadly, Éowyn came to a poor end because of her "un-maidenly" ways. Once the novelty of being married to a shield-maiden wore off, Faramir soon tired of the the headstrong Éowyn and shipped her off to the Sisters of Varda convent, kicking and screaming.
She didn't last long there.

What was Treebeard's reaction when he saw Merry and Pippin?
The Half-Hobbit
04-15-2002, 10:32 AM
When Treebeard first saw Merry and Pippin, he was drunk from too much Ent-draught, and he thought Merry was a beautiful Entwife. Driven mad by the thought of such a sexy female Ent with Pippin (whom Treebeard thought was a very strange type orc/shrew crossbreed devised by saruman), he challenged Pippin to a duel, the winner of which would have Merry's hand in marriage. Of course Pippin agreed to this, because he is a fool of a Took. However, in a surprising turn of events, Grishnack (spelling?) arrived, miraculously alive despite having been killed by riders of Rohan not too many pages ago, and defeated both Pippin and Treebeard. He and Merry now have a lovely home by the Dead marshes where they will soon be having their third anniversary party.

What do orcs do?
Every one knows that orcs used to be dancers at the local Chippendale's in Rohan. That is why they look like Chippenmunks. They got fired though, after crying too much about tips. They then went on to aid Saruman in his carwash service, as noted in The Two Towers.

What is Frodo's last name?
Birdland
04-16-2002, 08:56 PM
Hobbit children can be cruel, particularly when they are in their "tweens". Frodo was born a Baggins, but this of course quickly led to such nicknames as "Baggy Pants" and "*** End", followed by excruciating wedgies. Gym class was hell.
So Frodo decided to take the last name of an obscure branch of his family tree and declared he was not, in fact, a Baggins, but an Underhill. "Underwear" and "Underarm" quickly followed.
By the time Frodo had come of age the subject of a last name had become too painful to deal with, and he decided that from now on he would be know only as Frodo. (That's Mr. Frodo to you!) After the events of the War of the Rings, he was known affectionatly as THE Frodo.
His true last name eventually became lost in the mists of time. Which suited him just fine.

Why did Sam hate Gollum so much? (And I don't want an answer like "Sam thought that Gollum was hitting on Frodo" or anything like that.)
Birdland
04-17-2002, 09:28 PM
Sam subconciously hated Gollum because Gollum reminded him of his father, the "Gaffer".
I mean, let's look at this. Both Gollum and Gaffer were masters at whining and passive aggressiveness. Both were prone to heaping verbal abuse on Sam., "Nasty" may have sounded very like "Ninnyhammer" to poor Sam.
This abuse seemed to be offered particularly whenever Sam was trying to be nice or do something for Gollum. This is a favorite tactic of the aging parent against a child acting as caregiver.
Let's face it. Hamfast was probably no day at the beach, parentally speaking. Consider that Sam's two older brother's got out of the house as soon as they could, leaving Sam holding the "Bag End", so to speak. Sam even suggests in FOTR that he would have preferred to go into the rope making business, but probably became a gardener out of a misplaced sense of guilt.
So Sam's rage at Gollum was actually his rage at his own father, redirected at a more socially acceptable target. When Sam drew his sword and threatened to kill Gollum, it was the face of the Gaffer that he was seeing. And it wasn't just pity that stayed his hand, but a deeply buried fear that he would be commiting patricide.
(Hmmmmm, I wonder if this is actually a "wrong" answer? smilies/evil.gif )

Along about the time the quest was over, Bill decided he just wasn't making enough money as a can-can dancer and left Las Vegas. He was able to backtrack to where he got lost and found his way back to Bree just in time to meet the returning Hobbits.

The Watcher at the Gate always insisted on asking three questions before allowing anyone to go across his bridge. Oh, wait...wrong fantasy.
The Watcher at the Gate was really Frodo's other uncle, Herman (the black sheep of the Baggins family). One day, Uncle Herman decided he'd had it with The Shire and went off to see what he could see in the wide world. He ended up as a double agent between Sauron and the Men of Dale, but he ended up being a really poor spy, and everybosy found out what he was doing fairly quickly. Sauron's minions and the King of Dale's council got together and discussed the whole Herman-double-agent thing and decided he was just too incompetant to bother killing, so they agreed to send him off to a remote post in the middle of nowhere (sort of like a soldier being assigned to Alaska) where he wouldn't be able to do any harm.

It was the former head of the Council, Saruman, who suggested the extremely tacky gold rings to the Black Riders. This horrible choice (it *so* did not go with their outfits) led him to be kicked from the council. Gandalf is now head of the council.

How many people were there in the Fellowship? Bonus points for describing them all!
Susan Delgado
04-23-2002, 12:12 PM
Frodo, who was was conned into taking Bilbo's teddy bear and taking it to Mordor by Gandalf's tales of the wonders of the South of Middle Earth and the promise of vast riches.
Sam, a Capt Kirk like person who's always looking for adventure and is always interested in "cruising for Hobbit lasses", but who became tired of Hobbit lasses and decided to go for something different. Gandalf told him about Frodo's journey and about all the "hot chicks" in Gondor and Sam decided Frodo's quest was just the thing.
Merry, an otherwise respectible Hobbit who only agreed to come along because he wanted to escape his creditors.
Pippen, one of those creditors who managed to latch on to Merry just before he escaped and was constantly badgering him about his financial situation.
Aragorn, a power-hungry man who desires dictatorship but just can't find it in the wilderness of Eriador. So, after speaking with Gandalf, he decided Gondor was the place for him.
Boromir is another man whose father became so annoyed by his sons' constant bickering that he would latch onto just about any pretext to send one or both of them away. He Sent Boromir to Imladris, which is about as far as he could think of, and told him some story about the elves and Faramir's dreaming so he wouldn't guess he was really being sent away, and that Denethor was really hoping he would never come back. And, look! He didn't!
Legolas and Gimli are long lost twin brothers- the undesired offspring of a tryst between a trolling elf maiden and a somewhat confused dwarf. Since one resembled an elf and the other a dwarf, each was left with his corresponding race to be raised in respect. They finally found each other after countless years of searching, and, despite their very different backgrounds, they find that they really have a lot in common. They don't know what ever became of their parents, but can only assume the embarrasment of what happened was too much for them, which is why they did what they did.
and, Gandalf. Gandalf is a prestidigitator extraordinaire and a con man as well. He arranged for all the members of the Fellowship to go on this little quest for his own reasons, though no one knows what those reasons are. He not only told Frodo, Sam, and Aragorn about the richness of Gondor, he also ruined Merry's credit and told Pippen where he could meet them, and who do you think told Legolas and Gimli they weren't what they seemed to be? The only person he had nothing to do with was Boromir, but he managed to get rid of him fairly quickly.

The Half-Hobbit

Despite his assertion at the Council of Elrond that "Gondor needs no king!" Boromir obviously felt differently than he led the others to believe. He always carried with him a ceramic bust of Elvis, and wept like a child if it was taken from his sight.
He could be heard singing Elvis songs sometimes..."You ain't nothin' but a Hobbit, Eatin' all the time" and so on. Quite touching, really, how devoted he was to his King.

But Arwen jilted the handsome Elrond to marry Aragorn, who considered himself Elvis incarnate. Ungrateful wench.

Tom Bombadil is a horrid, shrunken, mishapen wretch who lurks in the Old Forest, after being driven out of the Shire for wearing footwear and singing off-key.
Hobbit mothers would frighten their children into good behavior by telling them to "behave, or ol' Bombadil will get ye!"
If anything goes wrong in the Farthings, it is blamed on Tom Bombadil. He is known to lead strangers into Barrow-Wight mounds and to feed them to trees.

Question : Why did Sauron create the One Ring and What Were Its Powers?
Sindalómiel
04-24-2002, 05:01 AM
Sauron originally specialised in making tiaras, but eventually got sick of headwear and decided to move on to rings. The One Ring was his first, and only, experiment in ring-making before he changed his mind again and starting creating necklaces.
The Ring's powers include giving the wearer X-ray vision, and the ability to shapeshift.

What habit are hobbits famous for?
ElanorGamgee

They are famous for both their clumsiness and their love of rogain. All hobbits are born bald, and they used rogain by the bulk load to maintain their heads of curly hair. However, their clumsiness causes them to always spill rogain onto their feet while applying it to their heads, resulting in the hairly feet they are well known for.

[ April 24, 2002: Message edited by: ElanorGamgee ]

Pippin was a stooly, a sell-out, a nefarious double-agent of the worst kind. "Accident", my eye! He was signaling the orcs after waiting days for them to clue into the fact that the Fellowship was stumbling around Moria, ripe for the picking.
Pippin knew that he was risking being exposed for the black-hearted traitor he was, if he dropped that stone down the well, but he had to do SOMETHING, or the Fellowship would get away. Fortunately, he played his role of the lovable bumbler so well that no one suspected his true motives.
Don't believe me? Saying "Oh no, not our Pippin!"? Well, how else can you explain that episode with the Palantir? Saruman actually threw the deadly orb to Pippin, so he could contact his Fearless Leader and clue him in to what was going on. Agent Pippin pulled that one off, too.
Oh, BTW: The mysterious figure on the grassy knoll in Dallas? That was Pippin.

What is cram?
Birdland
04-25-2002, 11:09 PM
Cram is a well-guarded secret in the Shire, being the magical ointment that Hobbits applied liberally to their feet. It toughened and waterproofed the soles, so that they never had to wear shoes.
The elves bought the recipe for cram from the Sandyman family long ago, and immediately locked it away for all eternity, since the Elves' entire economy is based around the making and selling of footwear throughout Middle Earth. (See the fairy tale "The Shoemaker and the Elves" for more info.)
Unfortunately, the recipe for cram has been lost forever, which means we are condemned to wearing overpriced Nikes throughout the 7th Age.

He then went merrily dancing back among the trees, muttering something about "incompetent twits"..."learn to read a map"..."they really ARE a virus"...etc.
Later, when the Barrow Wights contacted him about their home invasion problem, the whole sorry scene had to be repeated.
Where are those Bounders when you REALLY need them?

Bilbo spent his time at Rivendell knitting swesters for Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, as well as Aragorn. They all had initials on the front and Frodo's had a special poccket for the ring. When the Fellowship arrived, Bilbo sewed up Frodo's wound and crocheted Aragorn's sword back together.
How did the sword that was broken get broken?

After the battle, Isildur was so tired when he got home he just threw all his stuff on the couch and went to sleep. His wife was having a tea-party that day, and one of his wife's friends sat on it...

Who was Faramir's uncle and what was he famous for?

Faramir’s uncle was a travelling salesman for a Jeweller and he always seemed to have a collection if exquisite inscribed rings for sale. However with Sauron’s ring being lost and all, this old guy had to bear the brunt every time he tried to make a sale. This constant persecution made his tale known all over ME and he eventually gained fame and some fortune.
Why was it decided at the council of Elrond to destroy the One ring, what reason did each speaker give?

Boromir said "EEEEWWWW!! Its evil! Icky icky evil, get it away!!"
Frodo Said "Its gotta go, but I'm not doing it! Make Bilbo go, hes gonna die soon anyway."
Aragorn said "I'll destroy it and look all heroic and will have women throwing themselves at my feet!" at that comment smiles a wide fake grin, all mirrors nearby break.
Legolas said, "Ohmigod! That is so like tacky! Gold? Yuck! Thats like soo eighties! What was sauron thinking?

Merry and Pippin promptly went to the nearest salon for their manicures, pedicures, and hair styles. Those nasty orcs made them miss their appointments.

Who killed the Witch King?
Aosama, the Wandering Star
05-02-2002, 08:20 PM
Its a long story.
Just outside Orthanc, as he was getting ready to attack, Treebeard tripped on his shoelace and soon began an Ent domino effect, each Ent falling over and bringing another down with it. The last Ent opened a cage of Saruman's 'special' pets, Orcs bred with rats who had rabies, who scurried around and bit Saruman. Saruman then bit the Witch-King, the beloved ruler of Gonder. Both Treebeard and Saruman were held responsible, though the Ents still maintain that it was all Saruman's fault.

Questions people!!!
What did Sam do with Bill the pony when the Fellowship arrived at the gates of Moria?
Susan Delgado
05-03-2002, 12:48 PM
Sam didn't want the bother of using his own feet, so he rode through Moria on Bill's back, despite the strenuous objections of every other member of the Fellowship. Bill had some troubles with the steep staircases and that bridge was a mite narrow for a pony, but he managed to make it all the way out to the other side. However, after their first night in Lothlorien, Bill had mysteriously disappeared and none of the elves would say why. Sam was always suspicious though, and never ever trusted another Elf as long as he lived.

What color is Legolas's hair?
Belegfanaion
05-03-2002, 02:22 PM
Legolas' hair changes colors like the seasons, as par for the course wih elves. In spring, his hair takes on a greenish tint due to the dye he soaks it in 'cuz everyone knows Elves are like rebellious teens in the spring!). In Summer, his hair returns to a brown like the dry dust of the desert. In Autumn, he dyes his hair again in streaks - some red here, brown there, black in between, yellow roots... - and in late October it all falls out to be regrown in Spring. Meanwhile, in winter, as he has no hair, the only thing to do is polish his head, making any sunlight coming off it reflect as white. Thus, when he is up in the trees of Lorien, he is camoflagued to all the men and dwarves below - they think he's a bald eagle! smilies/tongue.gif
Why are Hobbits so short?
Lómelindi
05-03-2002, 03:03 PM
Hobbits were originally normal height, but when all the wars were going on (come on, there’s always a battle or war going on) the air became poisoned. The poisoned air became infused in fog, and this tainted fog drifted into the Shire where the hobbits breathed it, and the poisoned fog stunted their growth to exactly half their original height, hence their “alternate” tag of halflings. The hobbits never trusted the “Big People” ever again, because they blamed this occurrence on the Men.

Why are Merry’s nose and chin crooked? (Anyone who saw FOTR more than once will have noticed this.)

Because he was a crook, so he was crooked.

Who attacked Frodo in Mordor?
Gimli Son Of Gloin

His elementary teacher. On the last day of school Frodo put a whoopee cushion on his teacher's chair. He escaped his paddling. His teacher finally found him and gave him the spanking in wait for him.

What was the mission of the Fellowship of the Ring?
Lómelindi

His agent, because after glowing critical reviews for Frodo's perfomance he's wondering why he isn't getting better movie roles.
(Sorry, Elijah.)
