The Disco Danceoff at The Downies

[One Axe to Rule them All]

as we all know, the downies are coming up very soon, and as most of us also know, there will be a Disco Danceoff in which boromir will defend his title against all comers (Yes, this includes gandalf) Fake afros will be the order of the hour, so everybody pack an extra hippie suit if you plan on discoing on the floor

who do you think will win?
who do you think will compete?
who's gonna be hot, and who's not?
cmon, let's boogie!


EDIT: this is not meant to be a picture filled thread, it is to talk about the disco segment of the downies, keep it under control, i'm already in trouble with the mods as it is...

Original concept by Trippo the Hippo

[Trippo The Hippo]

I thought i made up the "disco dance off." (darn I knew that copyright would come in handy if only I had gotten it) Well anyway I think Boromir will win again unless, a certain Hippopotamus steps out on the dance floor.
btw i like your avatar one axe to rule them all.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

i know you had started it, I just thought I would put it in the spotlight, I hope I didn't offend you...

yes, all bets are on boromir, but you never know....

[One Axe to Rule them All]

there, i've put in an edit to give you credit

[Trippo The Hippo]

Oh no offense taken. Just wasnt sure if I read that somewhere else, and subconsciously remembered it, and took it as my own. I didn't want to offend anyone else if they came up with it first. So if I am not the first then whoever is come out and say it.

oh then I will give an edit thanking you for giving me credit: Thanks

[One Axe to Rule them All]

good to know we're still O.K. there

so i'm thinking about rosie, she looks like tough competition for boromir, or will we seperate womens and mens competetion?

[Trippo The Hippo]

I think thats the only right thing to do. Can any women keep up with Boromirs feet of fury?

[One Axe to Rule them All]

only Rosie Cotton... and maybe legolas (oh wait, he's not a girl)

and what about gollum, which division will he be in?

[One Axe to Rule them All]

and what about tom bombadil? i hear he might be making a surprise appearance for the danceoff...


and is it just me, or are you and i the only ones in this thread right now?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Don't you remember? He's the Disco Thing! smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif
Edit: And no, you're not the only ones here as I have come to join you smilies/smile.gif smilies/wink.gif

[One Axe to Rule them All]

so, that was a while ago...
he's gotten older, and what about faramir?

[Meela]

Faramir's a grand ol' groover!

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Just what you would say smilies/wink.gif By the way, happy 900th to you and happy 800th to me! (Weird coincidence... at the same time) smilies/smile.gif

[Meela]

OMG!! *Huggles everyone furiously* I didn't notice... thanks for letting me know!!

[One Axe to Rule them All]

congrats meela and galadrieloftheolden!

but now we go to the wildcard player.. Gollum!

how do you think he'll do?

[Meela]

Gollum's more of a breakdancer, but he's flexible, so he should be able to do pretty much any move, including the groovy moves of the disco.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

then we have someone who was around Before disco... Gandalf!

will this old-timer still be able to bust-a-move, or will he only be able to bust-a-hip?

opinions please

[Meela]

bust-a-hip *giggles* look how bad he was at breakdancing compared to Saruman. He's long past his dancing days.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

good point

i'm running out of ideas, somebody please make one up already...

how about pippin, if he's drunk enough, he oughta do really well...

[Trippo The Hippo]

I've heard Bill the Pony has been practicing a mean 4 step.

P.S. Actually I havent. I AM MAKING THE WHOLE THING UP.
oh uh 50 posts 50 posts in 3 days does that count as obsession

[ April 30, 2003: Message edited by: Trippo The Hippo ]

[Trippo The Hippo]

Lets all take a moment to ponder. We are thinking of Bill the Pony as he steps out on the dance floor wearing a big afro wig. I hope you all laughed as much as I just did.

[Meela]

*rolls on the floor laughing*

[Trippo The Hippo]

I just think if we are going to have a disco dance off, we should do it the right way. Thats why if I have my coconspiriters permission I would like to oficaily extend a invatation to some of the greatest people here at the downs to judge are disco dance off.

Those people are.
Rynoah the Overly-Happy: for bringing us the disco craze.
Oddwen: for teaching us to do the wave.
Airehiel: for giving us the first organized disco competition.

Well as far as I'm concerned we are forever in your debt. If my friends here on the board of disco competitions approve then I am sure we can find some way to get you three involved.

DO THE WAVE FOR BILL THE PONY THE DISCO HORSE!!!!

[Catherine]

DO THE WAVE FOR BILL THE PONY THE DISCO HORSE!!!!
Bill will probaly be soo good. LOL But what about Aragorn, we cant forget about him.

[merenwen]

i want gandalf to win! ok so maybe i'm just the odd one...

[ElentariGreenleaf]

YAY! GO BILL!!!

Um, can we bring in RPG characters....? Dumb question *bashes head repeatedly on large hard rock* Guess that's a no...... I'll go for BILL! (the pony... Bill Ferney is EVIL!!)

[Arafangwen]

I've taken dance lessons since I was seven and I still don't want to join the disco competition..... Go Boromir! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[One Axe to Rule them All]

i'm sure that my being gimli for this would qualify me to disco till i die!

Warning, my gimli personality does a mean robot...

[Eressië Ailin]

What about the Balrog?!?! He's the REAL Disco King!!!!! I mean, where do you think Gandalf got those moves? and Galadriel? and Elrond?

[mark12_30]

Eressië Ailin, I heartily agree. The Balrog didn't make it at Stayin' Alive but he sure did rule at Getting Down. And of course, there's nobody hotter.

[Oddwen]

I'd be happy to judge! Though I personally think Aragorn can't dance.
What of Wormtongue? I get the shivers when I envision him doing "The Worm". Not in a good way...
So...Disco King, Disco Queen, Disco Thing, and the Royal Disco Steed? We're starting our own monarchy here! Let's buy an island and make it a reality! smilies/cool.gif

[Lindril Arvilya]

Gollum's more of a breakdancer, but he's flexible, so he should be able to do pretty much any move, including the groovy moves of the disco.

I think Gollum belongs in Cirque du Soleil. Freakish climbing thing. They'd think he already had his costume (come on, the costumes can be pretty skimpy) and send him on for his debut performance.

[ April 30, 2003: Message edited by: Lindril Arvilya ]

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Oh my god! Wormtongue doing the Worm! *laughs hysterically, is taken away to crazy house*

I'm okay now. oh uh 50 posts 50 posts in 3 days does that count as obsession Yes, but I think I've donealmost 50 just today so I think I should slow down. More of my posts are turning out to be just one-liners, so I think I should be careful.

Oh wow. You guys (& girls) are giving me the weirdest mental images, really. I just had one of Aragorn tangoing with Gimli... I think that large amount of Pringles chips I ate last night is starting to work on me smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif Must go...

~Running with a barrel filled with Pizza Pringles- Menelien
Edit: Oh! I think that Aragorn and Gimli should be jominated for Tango King smilies/wink.gif because I think so. Wait... that made no sense whatsoever. Oh never mind, I'll just leave that sentence for you to decipher... smilies/tongue.gif

[ April 30, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

[Oddwen]

Has anyone ever seen the movie "Top Secret!" ? I can't get the image of Gimli and Legolas doing that dance...especially that lip thing. Not that lip thing! *(No Slash Ever! Is my motto, by the way)*

My brother brought up a wierd topic...maybe it's not exactly the place for it, but he asked me what the council of Elrond would be like if Elrond were played by...Desi Arnaz? Can you imagine that? Or even worse...Elrond on the bongo drums playing Babalu? *shudder* smilies/eek.gif

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

That gives me an idea! Elrond can run for the high title of Waltzing king! *shudders*
Hehehe, I can just about imagine that...
Theoden for Ballet King? Okay, my mind is running away with me... smilies/rolleyes.gif

~Lost in the bizzare reaches of her imagination- Menelien

[Oddwen]

AUGH! I don't know when I'd be able to come. *sniff* An hour early morning and maybe more in the evening...I'm not sure. *sigh*

I think Wormtongue ballroom dancing with Rosie Cotton would be a hundred times worse, GOTO.

Happy hundredth post me! In...two months and eleven days. That's like seventy days...can you tell that I don't really like to talk?

[ April 30, 2003: Message edited by: Oddwen ]

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

No! Oddwen! We need some *ahem* interesting humor there... smilies/wink.gif By the way, happy 100th post smilies/smile.gif

~Jumping in excitement and hoping that Oddwen can come, Menelien

[Trippo The Hippo]

Well according to our party expert mithadan the party will be spread out over multiple days. So dont let it get you down odwen

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Of course I'll judge! smilies/biggrin.gif

Can any women keep up with Boromirs feet of fury?

Of course! You should see me and him on the dance floor. We really burn it up. smilies/wink.gif

... not that I'll let that get in the way of my judgement. I can be unbiased if I so choose (wouldn't want to share him with the world anyway). smilies/smile.gif

[Everdawn]

Boromir! Boromir will win!!!!

Do the wave for Boromir the Disco King!!!

[Oddwen]

Thank you, GOTO.
An hour every morning, and an hour most evenings, probably. My parents are worried about all the time I spend in a fantasy land. What, they don't like the gaunt, pale, and atrophied look? smilies/frown.gif

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Oh, Oddwen, I feel your pain. smilies/wink.gif I think my parents feel about it the same way yours do. And the "gaunt, pale, attrophied look" comes from here too. Aren't you a Wight? smilies/biggrin.gif

~Searching very frantically for something nice to wear, Menelien

[ElentariGreenleaf]

WOOOOOOOOO! GO BILL THE DISCO PONY!! I would loose disco.... BUT WIN SWORDFIGHTING! I killed Shelob you know ^_- I've kinda gone into talking in character as Elentari cause of the Party!

[One Axe to Rule them All]

adn what about me? eh! I can breakdance with the best of em'! not to mention i can swing an axe better than any man alive!

*i'm in gimli mode again*

[Trippo The Hippo]

Anyone think Treebeard should enter?
DO THE WAVE FOR TREEBEARD THE DISCO TREE

[One Axe to Rule them All]

he'd literally bust the room

[Meela]

I can imagine all the ents standing in a circle, entwining branches, and swaying from side to side singing "Kumbaya, My Lord".

[Oddwen]

I'm a wraith here now, but in real life I [i]am[i/] rather pale and atrophied. smilies/rolleyes.gif
I envision Treebeard being a square dance caller.
In the car today, I was thinking of this thread, and it came to me that Pippin could dance like Elvis, but then it hit me! SAMWISE PRESLEY! Singing his hit song...

"You ain't nothin' but a Slinker, whinin' all the time!
You ain't nothin' but a Stinker, cryin' all the time!
You may have caught a rabbit but you ain't no friend of mine!"
*Hip swivels and all the fangirls goes wild* *Well, Rosie goes wild*

Strange, huh?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I can imagine all the ents standing in a circle, entwining branches, and swaying from side to side singing "Kumbaya, My Lord". *choke*

~Menelien

[Arvedui III]

Heheh, I say Boromir, unless by some miricle Aragorn mannages to pull something together, or not. This is gonna be soo great!

I think that all the people who started the whole 'do the wave' craze ought to get some sort of downies, and maybe a certin shade/last-king who gave incuragment? Maybe? Ok, no.

[ May 01, 2003: Message edited by: Arvedui III ]

[Hirilaelin]

Yea!

Whoever started Boromir the Disco King should get an award... Any other crazes you'd like to nominate?

Anyhow, I'll be disco-ing with the best of 'em! Bring it on, baby!

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Yes, Oddwen and Rynoah do deserve one award each... at the least... smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Everdawn]

Yes! Oddwen and Rynoah! thankyou for opening up our eyes to Boromir the disco King!

*Bows*

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

I'm gonna cry. Feel the love. smilies/biggrin.gif

You're all very welcome.

[ May 02, 2003: Message edited by: Rynoah, the Overly-Happy ]

[Arafangwen]

You justly deserve the praise Rynoah! And you to Oddwen! I belive the phantom could win the contest though, I'm told he's the one who taught Boromir how to "shake his groove thang" so to speak! I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

[Everdawn]

Here Oddwen and Rynoah... Have a huge trophy.. a new car... a new house.. a VIP pass to ROTK... a trophy... a date with boromir... *continues for ages*

*** Please note: Everdawn cant actually give you these things, save in imagination...***

[Oddwen]

Why thank you! I shall take the house, the trophy, the ViP pass, the car...Rynoah you can have Boromir. He has served my purpose. Mwahaha!
*cough* See, I'm random too. Or maybe just cold and calculated? Hmm, there's an idea if I ever get a unique title...

[Everdawn]

lol... Well I tried to get the zoo to give you an elephant each as well, but they said no...

[Oddwen]

Hmm, maybe you could try for the aviary, I could settle for that. smilies/wink.gif
