*rolling the ball along farther*

Middle Earth Airforce, by Thenamir

Sharkü or rêd?, by Mr Underhill

I would also like to suggest an honourable mention for Birdie, for a PM title to me during discussion of how to pronounce "Elessar." Her title was this: Pel-enn-or Fields Forever.

Belin

10-13-2002, 06:56 PM

Ithaeliel, does that include "Fool's Errand"?

At the moment, and without research, the one that immediately leaps to my mind is littlemanpoet's "The Light in Gollum's Eyes (with apologies to Child of the 7th Age)".

Tom Bombadil in the White House by BW.

Pel-enn-or Fields Forever

That was CUTE!

Marileangorifurnimaluim

10-13-2002, 10:53 PM

In Praise of Sam's Pans. That's a good one!

Tom Bombadil in the White House is definately a classic.

Pel-en-nor Fields Forever should be made into a thread so we can nominate it. smilies/biggrin.gif

It is rather uncouth to nominate ones own threads. However, a bribe to the judges is always acceptable. smilies/wink.gif I wear a size 4, and prefer emeralds and sapphires over diamonds. Gold settings, not silver or white gold, please, thank you. Do be aware of the punctuation efficiency requirement, may need a little extra to smooth the way?

This thread title by Eol instantly intrigued me: You too can play underpowered characters! It turned out to be interesting reading too! It's on the Freestyle RPG forum; would all of you please say where those great titles can be located? I'm familiar with most of them, but where do I find Birdie's He Ain't Heavy. He's a Hobbit.?

and

Villians R Us- by flyingtable83

Birdland

10-14-2002, 12:17 PM

Here's some good ones, after only scanning two pages. In no particular order:

What’s with Feanor’s Kids? - The Phantom

Hey, I’m finally hooked on Silm! - Child of the 7th Age

Do you think that Witch-King is full of himself? - Nick the Orc

Frodo and his issues - Anorien

Not only did these tickle your funny bone, but they make you want to open the thread. A good argument for giving your thread title as much thought as the thread itself

BTW Estelyn - He ain't heavy. He's a Hobbit is in the Movie section, you book snob, you. smilies/biggrin.gif

VanimaEdhel

10-14-2002, 04:03 PM

I would like to nominate (sp?): The Phantom Menace as the most misleading title. Even though it has the "(sp?)", I honestly thought it would have something to do with Star-Wars. Although: what it turned out to be is a lot more amusing! If you have not done so already, check it out!

I'll second that, Susan, even though I was only going to mention those that hadn't yet been mentioned.

More nominations from me (tending toward age, since many of the exceptional current ones have been nominated already):
"Derry dol, indeed" by burrahobbit (The Books)
"Written in Golden Ink... but Who Read It?" by Kalimac (Novices and Newcomers)
"Beren, Luthien, and Big-Mac" by HerenIstarion (The Books)
..and others that I've yet to remember.

Yes, Belin, that would include Fool's Errand.

Bethberry's protest was lodged with the Academy of Thread Names.

"We take these concerns very seriously," said a member of the Academy, who declined to be identified. She confirmed that 'Draught' has been temporarily suspended from the nominations during the investigation. (Associated Press)

The scandal has threatened to throw the nominations into disrepute. "These contests are all rigged," complained one fan, " 'A Rough Draught of a Topic' is clearly one of the best topics on the Downs. Who cares why he started it? But it's all about who you know in this industry. The Brits never get a fair shake."

On Friday morning, members of MAP gathered outside the Academy to protest the thread's use of gratuitous puns. "It's ammoral! I don't want my children exposed to such language," said Helen Eucre as she faced into the camera, "We're praying for you, Mr. Rimbaud."

The President of the Academy of Thread Names is expected to hold a press conference this evening at 7pm, PDT.

this fine and interesting thread

it is to be found here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001601) and refers to The Professor as Scholar (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001601) thread (by the same author and also worth nominating BTW)

Hobbit Sex ED...yes, it would seem the title drew a lot of people to it smilies/smile.gif

And I like Typos (or a Freudian Slip?) too.

I think that's one of the most amusing threads to read, actually...

I simply must dig up this old thread to nominate a new, very clever thread title by HerenIstarion - "ReVerse"! Such a cute play on words for his specialty, turning Tolkien poetry around so it's opposite in meaning...

Well, to nominate one of my own...

Frodo the Drama Queen

The name seemed to draw people in, but the thread was a flop. :rolleyes: It was, after all, the first thread that I started.

Gilette, the best Cirdan can get - LOL!

Ah, there are so many cool thread names I thought were really cool, but now it seems I'm having a blank...I'll be back though.
Here's one that was stuck in my head for days on end: From the Books forum: Man to Man in Araman (by Nilpaurion Felagund).

And in the Quotable Quotes section there was a thread: A few quotes (yes, I'm bored at work). Not sure if this was the exact exact title though.

There is only one for me;

Hot Balrog Lovin' by doug*platypus. I just about fell of my seat laughing when I saw that. :D

Another one which I saw today which made me smile (if in a sort of vaguely confused way) was Monkeys eat bananas, right? Oh come on, tell me you weren't intrigued...;)

by Elenglin (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=407)

It was one of the first nominees on the page 1 of the current thread

Though the title is a bit more promising than what its contents fulfill :)

I haven't seen this thread in awhile: The Geriatric Club -- what a great name! My grandparents would be proud.

Heren, I can't help noticing: you posted three posts in a row...and each of them was almost exactly twelve hours apart.

Does the feat qualify for Top Ten Signs You're Addicted To The Barrow-Downs (http://69.51.5.41/showthread.php?t=5145) or rather for Downsaholic Anonymous (http://69.51.5.41/showthread.php?t=10542)?

(Not to be off topic, I nominate both, btw. So, the latter is by The Perky Ent (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=2766), the former by Lush (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=235))
