What would they be doing today??

[elengil]

If the LOTRs characters were alive today, what would they be doing??

Here's my thoughts:

Boromir: psychotic ex-army special forces guy who has military flags for curtains and can field strip a weapon blindfolded in 3 seconds.

Gimli: Own a Harley Davidson store.

Legolas: Hair stylist/make-up artist

Merry: Boyscout

Aragorn: Boyscout leader

Pippin: Stand-up comic

Arwen: President of the women's lib. movement.

Eowyn: Playboy model

Saruman: A Congressman

Treebeard: A Bed, nightstand and dresser set


Anyone got any contributions??

[Isilya]

LOL!! I love it!!

I think Elrond would be a motivational speaker or a member of the Very Scary Looking Eyebrow Club with Gandalf.

Denethor is probably attempting to over-throw Beezlebubb

The Balrog most likely opened a Dating Service with Saruman through all the Palintirs.

[DarkRose]

Boromir:

Legolas: A guy who runs all the cheap work-out shows and aerobics programs. Think Richard Simmons with long blonde hair. smilies/biggrin.gif

Merry: A tractor driver in a parade. Wow, that came out of nowhere. smilies/eek.gif

Aragorn: A dull English professor at a college. I can just hear his melancholy voice droning on about the art of writing a research report. Ahh!

Pippin: The village idiot. *shrugs* Or the cousin that every family is embaressed to tell people about.

Arwen: A dentist who pretends to be a toothfairy and straps little pink wings to her back when taking care of kids.

Saruman: A pompous manager of McDonalds, too pridefull to realize that he isn't working in the "gourmet restuarant fit for kings" he claims to run. Sheesh. smilies/rolleyes.gif

Frodo: Believe it or not, a singing librarian. Singing stories to children about dolphins. Erm, don't ask. http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/contrib/sarge/Paranoid_anim.gif Scary thought, aint' it?

[ElanorGamgee]

Frodo: Lives in seclusion in his English countryside cottage, reading classic literature and thinking about the "good old days" before television, computers, and telephones. He also writes essays on the evils of the modern world and publishes them, but, alas, they mostly serve to occupy the Postmodernists' fireplaces.

Sam: Tends Frodo's garden, right outside the English countryside cottage. Holding with Frodo's view of modern culture, he does not often venture outside the property boundries and therefore brews his own beer in the garden shed.

Pippin: Runs his own pub in Scotland.

Merry: Owns a large estate in London and serves in Parliment. Often visits Pippin's pub to argue politics with the other patrons.

Aragorn: A History Channel addict. Also does Civil War re-enactments, but is often chastised for getting carried away (many a rebel soldier is thankful that the bayonettes are not really sharp). He teaches Medieval history at the local college and gives sword lessons on the side.

Gimli: Runs a fine jewlery shop. His wares attract many a thief, but they usually don't walk out of his shop with as many limbs as they had when they entered.

Legolas: Serves as a guide to novice hikers in the Appalachian Mountains. They often complain of meager meals of crackers and long, restless treks. Fitness freaks love him.

Boromir: Teaches political science on the same campus as Aragorn. Often rants on the injustice of monarchies and shakes his fist at Aragorn whenever they pass in the "hallowed halls" of the university.

Gandalf: President of the college where Aragorn and Boromir teach. Also has a class on logic (most students fail miserably). Promotes Frodo's literature on the evils of Postmodernism. His house is often toliet-papered by the Postmodernist students.

Saruman: Is president of his own college (there is a huge rivalry between his campus and Gandalf's, marked by intense football games). Most students think he is colorblind, but he really loves his suits of many colors...

Sauron: Runs a nuclear power plant. Doesn't put much investment into saftey regulations (he secretly hopes for a nice, big explosion). Burn's Frodo's literature by the truckload while laughing manically. Also boos Gandalf's football team and cheers Saruman's (and makes massive contributions to Saruman's college; several buildings are named after him).

[Elenna]

Bilbo - RICHARD SIMMON'S CLONE!!! "Oh! My old Twinkie collection! I would very much like to taste the cream filling and lemony cake again..." You get the idea.

Arwen - recluse fashion designer: we'd all know who she was and what she'd made, but nobody would ever see her.

Eowyn - militant feminist with a buzz cut.

[bombur]

Frodo is believe it or not, currently employed in the Cambridge (not Oxford) university as a young professor of ancient languages and classical literature.

Samvise is Frodos student. He also does Frodos garden for little extra cash and doubles in a local pub as a cook in lunchtime at fridays and thursdays. He aspires to become a research assistent of Frodos.

Gimli I know personally. He is a stage hand in Tampere in a rock consert hall and has two motorcycles for leisure time. With first looke peopl tend to label him as a member of the hells angels. He is curiously unemphatic to any social and environmental babble of mine, but otherwise a cool enough fella to take a few beers with.

Legolas is currenlty engaged in Swedish bi-sexual Glamrock band doing army of lovers coversongs. He looks marvelous with the wigs and shiny clothes and makeup. He does historical enacting, origamis and Japaneese archery in leisure time.

Gandalf is regional co-ordinator for a large environmentalist organisation. He specialises in negotiation with the governemts and has reputation for being able to get the admistrators scared xxxxless enough to take the issue seriously.

Saruman I’ve seen in the press photoes as well. He is a CEO of UPMkymene, major Finnish lumber, timber and papermill company.

Treebeard, is the newspaper you just red in the morning

Aragorn is just one of the Europe’s many redundant royality. He could of cource lay on his laurels and live as a playboy, but he is currently involved in a devlopment co-operation project to adwance the reforestation of Amazon with the help of the local indians and while helping them increation of civil society.

Boromir I met once. He is a Finnish border renger patrolling the 1000km of forest that is the border between Finland and Russia. He has a severe alcohole abuse problem.

Eowyn is actually a movie actor playing parts under alias in films like Terminator, Tomb Raider, Species and Aliens.

[Ransom]

Aragorn-Delta Force. Without a doubt. smilies/smile.gif

Boromir-dead Delta Force. Again, without a doubt. smilies/smile.gif
