Barrow-Downers' quotes/signatures

[Boromir88]

That's pretty embarassing, other people no more about what I write than I do. :rolleyes: I can't believe I completely forgot that that was me who said it, haha.

It's yours mormegil

[mormegil]

Sorry about that Boromir.

The Arkenstone cannot be seen as theft, of course, being stolen to avert a needless war.

Have at it.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Thats TGWBS, isn't it? I think it was in a thread about Hobbits or such.

[mormegil]

Yes he and I had a grand banter session about Samwise the Great and Bilbo the petty thief.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes Evisse it is correct and your turn it is.

No Evisse its not your turn unless you can figure out who said it to you. :)

[Evisse the Blue]

Heh, I'll venture a wild guess and say it's you who said it to me. :p

[Sleepy Ranger]

Heh, I'll venture a wild guess and say it's you who said it to me. :p

Yes Evisse it is correct and your turn it is.

[Evisse the Blue]

:D Thanks

How about this one: (it's a signature):

I'm hearing images,/I'm seeing songs/ no poet has yet ever painted

[mormegil]

Dimturiel

Seen him/her (??? sorry) in Palantir a lot lately.

[Evisse the Blue]

Her. :) Yes it's Dimturiel's. Well done, your turn. :)

[mormegil]

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed but didn't want to state it.

Take especial note of the sentence I have underlined

[Glirdan]

Sounds like another Werewolf quote. Time to do some digging, again.

[Mithalwen]

Sounds like Eomer to me ...

[mormegil]

Mith I agree it does sound like him but it is not...sorry :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

ok I had some time to kill and I found the quote. (hope I have not broken any rules)

It is Formendacil , right ?

[mormegil]

Correct and no you didn't break any rules but I usually like the thread to be listed with it but not a big deal at all. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

of course, it was that warg thingy. . .eeh, I have forgoten allready!

Although essentially an immobile organic computer

random choise. . .

[Alcarillo]

Nilpaurion Felagund, perhaps? In the How do you imagine other BDers thread?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

perhaps ? Dont you know for sure. . .

You are of course correct Alcarillo. It was too easy was it not? I will make an effort of finding a great quote next time, then.

[Alcarillo]

And your quote was perfectly fine, although "immobile" and "organic" are not often used on the Barrow-Downs and so are rather easily found via search engine. Now for mine:

So my name means "opposite of multiple cats"

PS - My 555th post!

[The Saucepan Man]

Malkatoj on What does your screenname mean? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=428064#post428064).

[Alcarillo]

You got it.

[The Saucepan Man]

Thankee Alc. :)

Heren-Istarion wins. Discussion is over.

Short but sweet ...

[Mithalwen]

"The Treason of Isengard: Eru's Plan?" Post 55. burrahobbit unsurprisingly.

[The Saucepan Man]

A similarly short but sweet answer.

Congrats, Mith, the thread is yours. :)

[Mithalwen]

Thank you. This shouldn't be hard but it amuseth me. Even though the answer is, of course, very :p

If Elrond was half-elven, were his ears half pointy?

[mormegil]

LMP of course in this post (http://wwww.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=4123&postcount=1)

[Mithalwen]

Yes indeedy.... over to you.

[mormegil]

Thank you.

Let's try this one

Green light was bad magic.

[Anguirel]

Lindil, "Inside the Barrow", post no. 11...

[mormegil]

Correct

[Anguirel]

Try this:

Each village was raided, pillaged, and plundered, and any inhabitants they found were cruelly killed.

[Gurthang]

Just off the top of my head, that sounds a little like the phantom in WW XII, but I'm not sure of that at all.

[Anguirel]

'Fraid not. Seek not among the werewolves!

[Anguirel]

Evidently you need another clue. The quotation is written from the point of view of those doing the pillaging...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It is Firefoot in this post (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=411147&postcount=116)

[Anguirel]

Well spotted Rune. All yours!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks

, it is a liquid in a different state

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Lalwendë in the Snow Angels thread. She was talking about custard. A quite delicious post. :D

[Lhunardawen]

Rune? Did Eomer have it?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Would you doubt me, sis? ;)

I think Rune's forgotten about the thread so I might just seek for a new quotation. Hold tight, angels.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yes I did forget, sorry.

and Yes you are right Eomer. ( I think)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Blingin'.

"I'd say it was a mixture of underestimation and Lazy Boss Syndrome."

Whomsoever, whither, and et cetera.

[the guy who be short]

Ooh! Ooh! That was me about Saruman being rubbish. :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hark! The short one is correct! :D

[the guy who be short]

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
Think I'll go and eat worms ...

Have at it!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It was the Saucepan Man, and I think it was in one of the ATM threads. Hmm?

[the guy who be short]

Right name, wrong thread.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

was it in the future of the downs thread ?

[the guy who be short]

Nay, I'm afraid (positively quivering, actually) that it isn't.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

then it must be the barrow downer dream thread (or what it is called)

[the guy who be short]

Five points to Rune. :)

[gralin musicteeth]

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Goin' to the garden to eat some worms! (yum yum)
Big fat juicy ones
Small skinny slimy ones
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms (yum yum)

Down goes the first one
Down goes the second one
Down goes the third little worm (yum yum)
Big fat juicy ones
Small skinny slimy ones
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms! (yum yum)

That was useless. The End.

[Gil-Galad]

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Goin' to the garden to eat some worms! (yum yum)

Down goes the first one

That was useless. The End.

uh...okay... its Rune's turn by the way

[Thinlómien]

*bump*
Rune?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

My mind seem to forget alot of things these days.

this boy was the chosen vessel

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm pretty confident that line has never been typed on the Downs. :p

[Kath]

I believe Rune is off on his travels at the moment, so if you can't find it Eomer perhaps you should do a new quote?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Let the others hunt for a day or so...

I'm pretty sure he made it up though. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It wasn't. 'twas lmp at Friends of Nimrodel: Tapestry of Dreams (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=390749#post390749).

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

And so my eyes were not clever enough. Ever get the feeling that you wasted a couple of hours looking for a quotation? :rolleyes: :D

It beats work, I suppose...

Onwards Nilp, Rune hasn't been seen for a while. I hope he was not captured by Orcs on his adventures.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Ever get the feeling that you wasted a couple of hours looking for a quotation? :rolleyes: :D (Aimè)Well, a few minutes, I think. Blame the search forums function. ;)

Enedwaith . . .

And the babe count rises...You wouldn't believe this quote came from this person, I'm telling you. Well, at least, I don't.

[Lhunardawen]

Lindolirian in the Downs Photo Page thread.

I couldn't believe it the first time either. Nor until now, actually.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

*sigh*

Your thread. :p

[Lhunardawen]

I'll have to spend some time working on inducing hypertrophy of my upper extremity rhabdomyocytes before I can manage it.

Have at it! Should be fairly easy if you know where to look...

[Eonwe]

Lhuna, how much are we allowed to use the search function? That seems a bit too much like cheating. :confused:

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

If no-one has the answer after a good few days then I think it's permissable to do a search to keep the thread alive. Although that doesn't always work :o (see above).

Best to start by asking a clue.

Lhuna! Give us a clue!

[Lhunardawen]

Using the Search function is legal, people.

A clue? If you know this person's real life occupation you won't be amazed that he/she uttered these words at all. That's not much help, is it? :p

[Glirdan]

Oooo!! I think I just saw that post somewhere!!! Was it perhaps Estelyn or was it Enca??

[JennyHallu]

Sorry, Glirdy...

It was Celuien. On like the first page of the Novices and Newcomers thread, you sneaky little Lhuna.

Am I right?

[Lhunardawen]

Celuien yes, and N&N. "What do you assign to Mordor," to be precise.

Yours, Madame Hallu. ;)

[Lhunardawen]

Jenny?

[JennyHallu]

Oh crap! Our two luminaries are disagreeing.
Go for it...

[Lhunardawen]

Kuruharan in the original Tol-in-Gaurhoth thread. :D

[JennyHallu]

Take it away, my dear...

[Lhunardawen]

For want of something more difficult...

Please keep Sleepy away from me.

[Mithalwen]

This was TGWBS in the Typos/Freudian slip thread. He had been referred to the Guy who be Shot by Mr Ranger :D

[Lhunardawen]

Yours, Mithalwen. :)

[Mithalwen]

That just about makes me public enemy number one.

sorry

[the guy who be short]

SpM in ATM?

[Mithalwen]

Verily, over to you :D

[The Only Real Estel]

*Erm*
TGWBS...

[mormegil]

I'll just apply the 10 day rule.

Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.

Not too difficult but it will get it going again.

[Laiudanama]

*Bump* I've no idea, but hoping someone will be able to revive the thread after a good two months of sitting...

[mormegil]

Fair enough...it was Garin. Now I will supply something that should be very easy.

And mormegil, I cry you mercy. I am your sword and namesake's twin brother, after all...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Is that Anguirel, by any chance?

[mormegil]

Yes in th efirst WW game. He was desperately attempting to get help. I've always remembered that line.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Try my favourite signature on the Barrow-downs.

We are the Wargs. You will be enlightened. Resistance is futile.

Whose is it?

[Bêthberry]

Eomer, is it legit to offer one's own siggie?

Of course, I could be wrong and that wasn't yours. I remember seeing it and it does so sound like something you would use but am not 100% sure, so regard this more as a technical question, just so I can save face if I'm wrong. :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

No, never mine. I'm merely trying to raise awareness again. ;)

[Gil-Galad]

probaly Samwise then...

[THE Ka]

High King Fingolfin, I am guessing...

~ Kahlotastic Ka

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The Ka is korrect: High King Fingolfin it is!

[THE Ka]

Hmm, reading threads and signatures does pay off...

Anyways, I've looked at this one for awhile, and it never stops to make me smile. Whom does this lovely treasure belong to?

I saw a werewolf drinking a Piña Colada at Trader Vic's. And his hair was perfect.


~ Ka is Ka

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Celuien.

[THE Ka]

Oui Fea. :)


~ Brzy na shledanou, Ka

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The seasons fall like silver swords, the years rush ever onward; and soon I sail, to leave this world, these lands where I have wander'd. O Elbereth! O Queen who dwells beyond the Western Seas, spare me yet a little time 'ere white ships come for me!

I was kind enough to use a sig rather than a snippet from an RPG. Wasn't that nice of me?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

That is the signature of Sophia the Thunder Mistress.

It took me 18 guesses on the member list.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

That it is, and how I miss her... On to you, m'love.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Thank you kindly. I think you'll know where to search for this quotation. :D

"I seem to recall a reference in the Book of Extra-Lost Tales that there was an alliance between the Wargs and the Gondolindrim....the reason Gondolin fell was that the Wargs were delayed from coming to their assistance as they were guarding Elwing and Silmaril's journey to the sea. Earendil always held this against them, although it was entirely an accident, the fault of the forces of Morgoth, and it may explain Elrond's antipathy towards the Wargs...."

And please remember: don't neglect the old threads. ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Samwise perhaps?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hehe. Too obvious, Gil. ;)

It's another Warg scholar, a very prominent one.

[Lhunardawen]

I'll hazard a guess...Formendacil? It looks like something he would say, at any rate.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It was indeed Formendacil; and what a theory that post posited!

Your go, Lhuna. :)

[Lhunardawen]

Oh, goody. My turn. :)

I think you could be a breelander, a dalewoman or an esgarothian as well... And a beorning if you were a bit more hairy.

Have at it!

[mormegil]

It was Thinlomien in the Barrowdown pic thread. She was talking about JennyHallu in Jenny's desire to be Human not Hobbit. :D

[Lhunardawen]

Yes, yes, and yes. Good job, morm; it's yours. :)

[mormegil]

Thanks Lhuna.

They must destroy The Nose-Ring of Sourone of Bad-Odour in the land of Morbid, by chucking it into the Cracks of Gloom in the Sanctum Noir of Mount Horridruin. In their way are The Nasal or Ring-Cyclists and their Lord, The Witchy-King of Wagner, Also Sourman of Oldcrank and his legions of Dorks.

[The Saucepan Man]

That looks like narfforc's style to me.

[Gil-Galad]

perhaps even Morsul the Dark

[mormegil]

narfforc is the credited response. Well done SpM. In fact this was nafforc's first ever post on the Downs. He started a thread with it.

[The Saucepan Man]

Ta morm. :)

Next up, a D-lightful quote:

Dour, desperate dwarves drink draughts, demand dinner, disturbing dutiful dugout dweller. Dishes disappear during ditty. Dwarves decide dark deeds demanded during dulcet dirge describing dragon's disturbance. Dour dwarves denounce dragon, declaring duty dictates dragon's disappearance. Dwarves discourse dragon's disengagement, delightfully defiant. Dugout dweller discovers daring dignity, dumbly decreeing danger desired. Dugout dweller's dreams disturbing, destiny descends.

[The Only Real Estel]

The first thing that popped into my head was davem but that's about as wild as a guess can get. :D

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Saucy, that sounds like it could be Squatter - I remember a thread with that post, but don't know offhand where to locate it...

[Child of the 7th Age]

I remember! Liriodendron in the alliterative verse thread.... That was a few years ago.

Here... (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=149788&postcount=34)

The search function didn't work on this until I remembered her name.

[The Saucepan Man]

Well done, Child! That's the one. :)

That was a fun thread. :D

You're up next.

[Child of the 7th Age]

Sauce,

Am I permitted to pass the gauntlet to you? I will be flying out on Sunday for about a week on family business. I will have some computer access, but have sworn to keep posting in a Rohan game that Durelin and I are running, and I'm not sure how much more than that I can do.

Rather than letting this thread sit dead in the water, could you "pinch hit" for me? (Unlike you football folk, I am an avid baseball fan. :) )

Child

[The Saucepan Man]

Am I permitted to pass the gauntlet to you?Well, if you insist ...

Here's another one from the vaults.

You know the funny thing about “enchantment”? The more you bandy the word about, the more you try to study it and categorize it and analyze it and break it down, the more it fades into mist and, like the Faërie folk themselves, disappears.

[mormegil]

This is somewhat of a guess as I cannot find it at all but Bethberry? It sounds like something she would say.

[the guy who be short]

Or perhaps El Empi?

[The Saucepan Man]

Nope. Neither, I'm afraid.

The thread concerned is a rather infamous one in Downs history. :D

[mormegil]

Mister Underhill in the 'Canonicity' thread here (http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=321139&postcount=178).

Thanks for the hint.

[The Saucepan Man]

Correct!

Take it away, morm. :)

[mormegil]

Thanks. I'll throw out a fairly easy one.

Whoa! Sauron shows up. Not exactly as imagined, but cool nonetheless.

[Bêthberry]

This is somewhat of a guess as I cannot find it at all but Bethberry? It sounds like something she would say.

Gosh, so glad to hear that it wasn't one of mine. For the life of me I couldn't remember ever saying it, but you know what it's like once your posts top 1500. ;)

I would have said davem and not Mister Underhill, though.


Whoa! Sauron shows up. Not exactly as imagined, but cool nonetheless.

alatar on one of the sequence by sequence posts?

[mormegil]

The first post as a matter of fact.

Off you go now beth and don't forget to take the thread with you.

[Bêthberry]

Okay, here's a history lesson for you more recent members of the Downs.


In the spirit of irreverence not often found in the books section of the Downs (in fact, we may have to move this thread), I have done a bit of research into the elusive social mores of hobbit life.

[Anguirel]

Surely Hobbit Sex Ed by Marileangorifurnimaluim?

[Bêthberry]

Indeed, none other! Take it away but don't squirrel it away, Anguirel.

[Anguirel]

Here you go...

...Faramir walked out of the woods of Ithilien to be Boromir as he should have been.

[Volo]

Anybody has the interest in waking this thread up? (don't look at me)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

This has indeed been lying dormant all this time.

Anguirel, you quote Mithalwen, in a thread about Saruman and his goodness.

[Anguirel]

Yeah. Sorry, rather forgot about this too...yours Eomer.

[Thinlómien]

Eomer?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Goodness! I remember answering that, but I didn't see Ang's reply. I'll offer a new quotation soon.

EDIT: Try this:

Glacial

Work out where you'd find such a quotation. ;-)

[Lhunardawen]

Goodness, Eomer, way to go killing the thread. :p

This is as crazy a guess as any, but the single word quotation irresistibly brings burrahobbit to mind.

(Mind you, I'm doing this just to give the thread the good ol' CPR.)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Over a year, eh? :D

Wrong Lhuna, though good guess. It comes from one of those 'so-and-so in one word' threads.

[Lhunardawen]

Nah, just more than 7 months. :D

Ah. I should have known. All right, someone with time to spare, hop to it! :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Oh aye, not a year. Date should come before the month. :p

[Lhunardawen]

Lalwendë in the thread 'The Silmarillion in one word.' :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well done, Lhuna. :cool:

[Lhunardawen]

Thanks for the clue. :)

what is WRONG with you chicks? Can't you see beyond the gender of the participants into the abstraction of what is going on? Does it HAVE to be about skirts versus pants to make it interesting? How about right versus wrong, truth versus lies, life versus death???"

[Lhunardawen]

It seems a hint is needed? It's from a rather old thread in the Books. Think two X chromosomes - the thread is mainly for those who bear these. ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Was that William Cloud Hicklin? I seem to remember the debate was about Lewis.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You're wrong. MWAHAHAHAHA. :p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Prove it*.



*sly attempt at stealing the right answer.

[Lhunardawen]

I don't think you considered my hint. :p

Fine, I'll give another one: this thread was started by Indiana Jones. ;)

[Thinlómien]

Hey, that's mark12_30 on the thread Calling all women (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=12375). A very interesting thread, btw - I have to have a look at that when I have more time. :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

*Knock, knock* Hey, is this thread going to start up again? It looks like fun.

[Mnemosyne]

*Knock, knock* Hey, is this thread going to start up again? It looks like fun.

Why don't you? :Merisu:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Why don't you? :Merisu:
Just now noticed this post. Oops. Well, I can't commit to anything now, due to my limited Downs access. But I might be able to perhaps twist Laurinque's arm.

[wilwarin538]

I could start it up again, if you like...

Hopefully this isn't too hard/easy:

It is almost as good as slapping your self to death with an aubergine.

Have at it!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

That sounds awful lot like something that Hookbill would have said...

[wilwarin538]

Hmm, 'fraid not......but you're getting warm....

[Loslote]

This is probably the most round-about way of ever finding the answer, but:

This morning during French class I learned the french word for eggplant: aubergine. Instantly I thought of this. And then I thought, okay, someone foreign! thinking French foreign. But I automatically thought of Danish from the Bostonmoot-takenover thread. And then I remembered that Rune said it in the Downer Newspaper thread.

[wilwarin538]

Yay! That is definitely it! He was talking about how greatly he loves beef. :D

Your thread! :)

[Loslote]

Lovely. Who said:

Does your computer know how to tell knock knock jokes? Because mine does.

[wilwarin538]

haha

I'm pretty sure it's Fea that said that. Not positive though...

[Loslote]

haha

I'm pretty sure it's Fea that said that. Not positive though...

'Tis, 'tis! In the assign to Shire thread. Your turn! :D

[wilwarin538]

Alrighty... :D

The bit about the shinies lol'd me so much

Have at it!!!

[Glirdan]

Lindale in the Geeky Jokes Are The Best Medicine Thread.

[wilwarin538]

Indeed it was!

Your thread my dear! :smokin:

[Glirdan]

Thank you my dear. Definitely one of my favorite's:


Monkeys are diet-conscious? :confused:


There you are. And go!

[Morsul the Dark]

I knew I recognized that quote!

Nerwen Questionable Thread titles (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=573064&postcount=18)

[Glirdan]

Indeed it is. Your thread!

[Nerwen]

YAY! I knew I'd make this thread one day! :D

Er... ahem! ...I mean, nice work, Morsul.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

YAY! I knew I'd make this thread one day! :D

Er... ahem! ...I mean, nice work, Morsul.

I remembered the comment, but I had forgotten who it was who said it.

[Glirdan]

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

[Morsul the Dark]

umm... wow... oops

My bad everyone I'll give you an easy one so you can get on with the game...


Step 1. Choose your elf/man and add orc

sorry....

[Folwren]

If we're supposed to tell you who said that....

I know! I know!

Feanor of the Paredhil on the thread now titled Feanor Funnies.

[Morsul the Dark]

Go you onward and upward my friend

[Folwren]

Thank'ee, sir. It was a stroke of luck, you may be certain.

When nought is left to do but
think of all we've known
here is where loss breathes
the sorrow of returning home

There you go.
