OK, who might have thought (before uttering an actual quote):

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &quot;What a foxy dead-chick! No, don't say that; say something appropriate.&quot;

and when, etc.?

Re: new &quot;quote&quot;

Faramir about Eowyn, someone else ask if I'm right, as I am a bit limited in my internet access at the moment, and also that I suck. And I don't have my books to help me think.

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

Re: new &quot;quote&quot;

Ah, well then, I heartily discourage you from drinking. Is that loud and clear to the forces that be. I do not think Burrahobbit should drink; I think he should work on a merit-badge. Perhaps one in finance. But not drinking.

Re: new &quot;quote&quot;

I'm not exactly poor enough to be called poor, but I am poor enough to not be able to afford to get drunk. Plus it tastes like cat urine. (I'm guessing. I've never had cat urine. And if you are willing to admit having tasted urine, feel free to tell me I'm wrong.) My family isn't poor (not the family I live with, anyway), but I am, mostly because I don't have a job. If I want a luxury I have to pay for it myself usually. So I call myself, apart from my family, poor in jest. Most of this post was to prevent the things in parentheses from being as long as the rest of the post, this part fits in with that goal. Pretty much everything after the first set.

Re: new &quot;quote&quot;

Burrahobbit, I have never partaken of cat`s urine, but I drank my own urine at a Japanese monastery in 1984. It was not what I`d call a pleasant beverage, but I confess I preferred it to most alcoholic drinks.

Alcohol, the cause, and the solution, of all our problems! <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">
btw, did you know that, unlike in the USA, you may buy and drink alcohol in most European countries already by the age of 18? Heehee.
And I cannot imagine that urine tastes better than, for example, wheat beer.

Re: new &quot;quote&quot;

When I was 18, you could still buy alcohol in my state (and in many if not most of the rest). Don't be fooled. 21 is not a puritannical legacy; it's an innovation.

Before all these natterings, the standing phony quote was

Vorondil speaking of the herds of kine around the Sea of Rhun? He hunted them there and was killed by one. Or perhaps this is a more ancient speaker, say Orome, commenting on these noble beasts.

Having been led to it by the nose, g, I can say with confidence that the speaker was Beregond, and the place was a street within sight of the citadel in Minas Tirith. This is a favorite section of mine, too, but I was too lazy to look up the quote until now.

Well, I just tuned in and it appears I missed this oppurtunity by just four short days. Oh well, yes, I found the quote, too, before venturing to read Mister Underhill's answer, which was on a different page than the quote. He is by all means correct. It was Beregond speaking to Pippin of how much Pippin had eaten that day and why. A cup of wine and a white cake or two, if I'm not mistaken.

I do hope you go ahead and post another quote soon, Mister Underhill, it is now your turn. Although I realize you might want to wait for the go-ahead from galpsi, but let's keep this ball rolling if you don't get it soon. I am excited for the next quote! <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Good guesses, both - but longer even than they, according to some sources. There aren't too many options left. Anyone want one last try?

I was discussing this with the Wight in the Chat room, and I think my memory has been jogged. I reckon the speaker was Tom Bombadil, when he gave the blades of Westernesse to the hobbits.

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/sting.jpg" align=absmiddle> Sorry guy's

I in my wanderings incounterd some &quot;distractions&quot; ( I was attact by a marauding bands of orks, then trolls,and wolves. I fled for my life. They pursued me for days until I reached the outskits of Mirkwood. Thinking it my last hope I dove in. I was, however, far from any path at the time, and of course I got lost. After wandering for some time I found myself hopeless in a direstate. I was hungery but it was nothing to my terrible thirst. I kept walking, however, knowing that stopping would be the death of me. After what seemed a long time I heard something in the dead silence that soronded me. Water! The sound of running water. I ran to it half mad, which of course made me forget that the only water source in the wood was the enchanted stream. I dived in head first. Well the rest is pretty obvious. Luck was with me though and it jusst happend that a friendly wizard was passing and was able to revive me and restore all my memorys. Or did he?) So it is that I am so late in replying to you Mister Underhill please exept my humblest apologies.

And here, at last, is your Quote

Next quote will be:

Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
for ever blest, since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run
beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
Lúthien Tinúviel
more fair than mortal tongue can tell.
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this-
the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea-
that Lúthien for a time should be.

We'll have a song contest, than :D

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

Of the Amazing Song Contest and Its Continuation

Very true, but that ingenious possibility escaped me at the time - as you can see I am a man of limited mind, scope and creativity and should therefore be condemned forever in the Nothingness passing my time playing chess with Morgoth... <img src=devil.gif ALT=":evil"> Ahem, anyway, here is the next song -
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;Long live the Halflings! Praise them with great praise!
Cuio i Pheriain anann! Aglar'ni Pheriannath!
Praise them with great praise, Frodo and Samwise!
Daur a Berhael, Conin en Annûn! Eglerio!
Praise them!
Eglerio!
A laita te, laita te! Andave laituvalmet!
Praise them!

Praise them! The Ring-bearers, praise them with great praise!&quot;<hr></blockquote>

Re: Chess

15 minutes must be some sort of record :) Actually, I'd be honoured to play chess with you, considering I am absolutely hopeless at it. Morgoth has quite a temper when he loses though, and he is worse than me. :/ Hmm. That is corrrrrrrrect, anyway. Continue!

Re: Chess

Allahu aqbar, neither am I good at chess. So. let us stick around song contest ;)

So:

Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
In a case in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by.

Up came Tom with his big boots on.
Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon?
For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim,
As should be a-lyin' in graveyard.
Caveyard! Paveyard!
This many a year has Tim been gone,
And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.'

'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole.
But what be bones that lie in a hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead,
Afore I found his shinbone.
Tinbone! Thinbone!
He can spare a share for a poor old troll,
For he don't need his shinbone.'

Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee
Without axin' leave should go makin' free
With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin;
So hand the old bone over!
Rover! Trover!
Though dead he be, it belongs to he;
So hand the old bone over!'

'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins,
'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins.
A bit o' fresh meal will go down sweet!
I'll try my teeth on thee now.
Hee now! See now!
I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins;
I've a mind to dine on thee now.'

But just as he thought his dinner was caught,
He found his hands had hold of naught.
Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind
And gave him the boot to larn him.
Warn him! Darn him!
A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought,
Would be the way to larn him.

But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the mountain's root,
For the seat of a troll don't feel it.
Peel it! Heal it!
Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan,
And he knew his toes could feel it.

Tom's leg is game, since home he came,
And his bootless foot is lasting lame;
But Troll don't care, and he's still there
With the bone he boned from its owner.
Doner! Boner!
Troll's old seat is still the same,
And the bone he boned from its owner!

Song Contest Continuation!

To continue with the song contest: <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)">

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years,
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old and tall.
If ever you'd met me
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.<hr></blockquote>

One of my favorites :)

Down the swift dark stream you go
Back to lands you once did know!
Leave the halls and caverns deep,
Leave the northern mountains steep,
Where the forest wide and dim
Stoops in shadow grey and grim!
Float beyond the world of trees
Out into the whispering breeze,
Past the rushes, past the reeds,
Past the marsh's waving weeds,
Through the mist that riseth white
Up from mere and pool at night!
Follow, follow stars that leap
Up the heavens cold and steep;
Turn when dawn comes over land,
Over rapid, over sand,
South away! and South away!
Seek the sunlight and the day,
Back to pasture, back to mead,
Where the kine and oxen feed!
Back to gardens on the hills
Where the berry swells and fills
Under sunlight, under day!
South away! and South away!
Down the swift dark stream you go
Back to lands you once did know!

Sigh...

It figures that by the time I get here, it's a song I don't know (though beautiful). It's not about Bilbo's return from his journey, he didn't go South. Is it from the Sil? I'm only to Beren and Luthien. (Come on, you can give a hint to a lonely, wretched traveler, can't you? *image of a little starving puppy looking up with big woebegotten eyes, begging for a tiny scrap*)

Do not fear, little puppy! For I am here to save the day! That song had to be elvish, and as I couldn't find it anywhere in LotR OR the Sil, I turned the Hobbit. Ta Da!

Next Song

Righto, keep it rollin <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)"> Next song:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;The wind was on the withered heath,
but in the forest stirred no leaf:
there shadows lay by night and day,
and dark things silent crept beneath.

The wind came down from mountains cold,
and like a tide it roared and rolled;
the branches groaned, the forest moaned,
and leaves were laid upon the mould.

The wind went on from West to East;
all movement in the forest ceased,
but shrill and harsh across the marsh
its whistling voices were released.

The grasses hissed, their tassels bent,
te reeds were rattling - on it went
o'er shaken pool under heavens cool
where racing clouds were torn and rent.

It passed the lonely Mountain bare
and swept above the dragon's lair:
there black and dark lay boulders stark
and flying smoke was in the air.

It left the world and took its flight
over the wide seas of the night.
The moon set sail upon the gale,
and stars were fanned to leaping light.<hr></blockquote>

That was always one of the more melodic ones. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Ai Ai indeed, sorry ;)

Ok, next one to be chanted is one of my favourites too:

He chanted a song of wizardry,
Of piercing, opening, of treachery,
Revealing, uncovering, betraying.
Then sudden Felagund there swaying,
Sang in a song of staying,
Resisting, battling against power,
Of secrets kept, strength like a tower,
And trust unbroken, freedom, escape;
Of changing and shifting shape,
Of snares eluded, broken traps,
The prison opening, the chain that snaps.
Backwards and forwards swayed their song.
Reeling foundering, as ever more strong
The chanting swelled, Felagund fought,
And all the magic and might he brought
Of Elvenesse into his words.
Softly in the gloom they heard the birds
Singing afar in Nargothrond,
The sighting of the Sea beyond,
Beyond the western world, on sand,
On sand of pearls on Elvenland.
Then in the doom gathered; darkness growing
In Valinor, the red blood flowing
Beside the Sea, where the Noldor slew
The Foamriders, and stealing drew
Their white ships with their white sails
From lamplit havens. The wind wails,
The wolf howls. The ravens flee.
The ice mutters in the mouths of the Sea.
The captives sad in Angband mourn.
Thunder rumbles, the fires burn-
And Finrod fell before the throne

The singers *in* the song are Finrod Felagund and Sauron. The singer of this excerpt from the Lay of Leithian I know not.

The P.S. is often used as a vulgarity in the US.

I guess Gandalf's 3 P.S.'s were supposed to show how much of a hurry he was in, but it seems that for a wizard he writes lousy letters. Anyway --

I still remember this from the (relatively) recent Gandalf/Manwë debate. It's from UT, Frodo to Gandalf, regarding Gandalf's mysterious and elusive comments about destiny and a higher power -- although I think that Frodo is maybe being a little overgenerous in saying that Gandalf's cryptic comments have helped him to understand anything a little better.

Yes, Elanor, the judges say that this quote has gone on too long and your answer is close enough! Aragorn said it in general to the Company after they had been shot at by Orcs and Legolas had shot a Nazgûl out of the sky.
