Sam to himself?

<font size = "-2"> The Sun has left his blackness, & has found a fresher morning / And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear & cloudless night / For Empire is no more, and now the Lion & Wolf shall cease.</p>[i]

[Manwe]

Merry to Pippin (or Pippin to Merry) in Fangorn. They have lembas and the ent-water.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Sam to Frodo in Ithilien...?

[Lostgaeriel]

Frodo said this to Gollum as he offered to share some lembas with him. This was as they rested before walking through the Dead Marshes.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

*flipflipflipflipflip* Oh, right on! Hey, he's got it!
-Maril

[Lostgaeriel]

Hey Marileangorifurnimaluim!

I'm NOT a "he". I'm a "she". smilies/rolleyes.gif

Here's the language lesson for today! "Lostgaeriel" is a feminine form of the root name "Lostgaer" which means Empty Sea according to one of the experts on this site. (Ends with "iel" as do "Galadriel" and "Undómiel".) Other feminine forms are "Lostgaerien" and "Lostgaerwen". The masculine form is "Lostgaerion".

Not to worry, I have the same problem with my real-life name too. smilies/wink.gif

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

*cringing apologetically* ..and on top of it all, you actually managed to spell my name. Not an ME linguist despite the whimsical name (Tibetan, anyone? Deutsch vielicht?) interesting lesson there, hmmm, time to break my addiction to the Forum and check out the language tables.

I said "he" because the guys tend to pick the sword motif. *inner debate over Freud wisecrack - Nah*

Not bad, Lostgaeriel, you nailed two old quizzes in one night.

[ December 09, 2001: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]

[Lostgaeriel]

Oh! The sword motif. It seems to be the default. I don't always remember to choose something appropriate - usually to the topic or the mood of the post.

Yeah, 2 quizzes answered tonite 'cause I've got insomnia. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Yeah, me too (probably explained by the bag of chocolates next to me). While you're answering impossible quotes, check out "Recent Laziness... continued." A hint: it's not an elf.

Hey, this is fun, practically live.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Hoom, hmm, Lostgaeriel, don't forget another quote!

[Lostgaeriel]

Well, I don't know if I should proceed without HerenIstarion's OK, but here goes...

On foot?

[Turambar]

Wild guess - Samwise, about the trip to Bucklebury?

[Lostgaeriel]

No. It wasn't Sam. Do you want a hint? smilies/wink.gif

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Gimli, after their borrowed horses had run off and he learned they'd have to walk to Meudusld. I think Legolas' next comment was "we'll make a rider of you yet!" and Gimli said "it seems I won't have the chance."

[Lostgaeriel]

No, Marileangorifurnimaluim, it wasn't Gimli. He said "Feet!". But you're VERY VERY VERY close to it.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Eomer to Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas on hearing they were hunting orcs and came a bazillion leagues in such a short time.

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes, Maril (I can call you that, can't I?) you got it. Just needed to flip back a few pages, eh? (Did the shield message icon helped for both of your guesses?)

I think that this was the point at which Éomer's opinion of Aragorn (and Gimli and Legolas) changed from tolerance to respect and admiration. (He had already stopped being suspicious.)

Your turn.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Of course! smilies/biggrin.gif
Sorry this took so long - don't tend to bring my books to work when I check this, killer week, etc., etc.
What does all this mean? They have all left me now.
Who, and when?

-Maril

[Lostgaeriel]

Hey, Maril! We can't seem to get out of Rohan here, eh?

That's Merry muttering to himself, as Eowyn tells Theoden that Aragorn (& Legolas & Gimli et al) have taken the Paths of the Dead. Merry has been left behind by the Fellowship. (Gandalf & Pippin have ridden ahead to Minas Tirith, and of course Frodo & Sam have gone to, well, we won't speak of it.)

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Too true, Rohan dominates the quiz. (I knew it was too easy, but figured I'd better not wait any longer smilies/rolleyes.gif ) Take it away, Lostgaeriel.

[ December 17, 2001: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]

[Lostgaeriel]

Well, this shouldn't be hard at all, but I like it. I will tell you the tale of Tinúviel, in brief - for it is a long tale of which the end is not known; and there are none now, except Elrond, that remember it aright as it was told of old. It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Oh how wonderful, I wonder if that will still be in the movie...

Aragorn to the hobbits, under the shadow of Weathertop.

[Lostgaeriel]

No and Yes! (As you know very well by now.) Your turn Marileangorifurnimaluim.

(Aragorn is such a romantic. He misses his girl and doesn't have her photo in his back pocket, so he tells the tale of Tinúviel because she reminds him of Arwen.)

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Oh thank you, of course that's why he told the story of Tinuviel. I feel rather foolish that I either missed/forgot that over the years. But that's the wonder of the LotR, the endless layers and new treasures in each reading.
Well I'll finish my job now.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

No guesses - ?

[Pippin]

sounds like a Sam or Bilbo thing to say...although when I'm not sure... smilies/confused.gif

[HerenIstarion]

Shagrat finishing with Gorbag

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Heren gets it. Go ahead.

-Maril

[HerenIstarion]

This sword, will not stay sheathed, if
a dragon is within five miles; and without doubt in a brave man's hands no dragon can resist it

name the speaker and sword

[Legolas]

The parson, and Caudimordax ("Tailbiter")

HI?

[ October 08, 2002: Message edited by: Legalos ]

[HerenIstarion]

ah, totally forgotten one here. Yes, Legalos, your answer is correct

[LePetitChoux]

Its been a week, so I can post I guess...

One who can not cast a treasure away at need is in fetters

This is easy peasy.

[hobbitlass]

Yes it is.
It's Aragorn to Pippin when he returned the elven brooch.
It's nice, once in awhile, not to have to go digging. smilies/biggrin.gif

[ November 14, 2002: Message edited by: hobbitlass ]

[hobbitlass]

I bave waited long enough for confirmation (I think) so I will go ahead and post.

"...'tis evil in the wild to fare."

[gralin musicteeth]

hint please?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

beleg to turin?

[hobbitlass]

it is in FotR

[-Imrahil-]

Bilbo?

I remember him saying something to that extent, could quite easily be incorrect though.

Oh and yes, I do believe it is in FoTR. Don't have a book handy to confirm unfortunately. (Someone who has a computer room copy send it over. smilies/smile.gif)

[ November 24, 2002: Message edited by: -Imrahil- ]

[hobbitlass]

No need, you are correct. Bilbo said it to Frodo and others when it is seen that the quest can't begin till winter. Then Bilbo says a little poem...
When winter first begins to bite
and stones crack in the frosty night
when pools are black and trees are bare
'tis evil in the wild to fare.

Very good, especially from memory. Your turn.

[-Imrahil-]

"Worst is a bad word," I said to him, "and I hope you do not live to see it."

Who to whom?

[Joy]

`"I can't abide changes," said he, "not at my time of life, and least of all changes for the worst." "Changes for the worst," he repeated many times.

`"Worst is a bad word," I said to him, "and I hope you do not live to see it."

Gandalf when talking to Ham Gamgee - requoting this conversation at the Counsil of Elrond.

[-Imrahil-]

Nailed it! Your turn

By the way, slightly off topic but am I correct in saying that the signature pictures are currently disabled?

[HerenIstarion]

you are

bringing this up for Joy to go on
