Old cheese...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the approximate number of hobbits living in Hobbiton? (forgive all my spelling errors, please!) |
Elven Mistress - you didn't spell anything wrong! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Anyway: 123,456,789 hobbits live in Hobbiton at this time. Why is Gollum so wrinkly and gross? (can't think right now...) [ October 19, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ] |
a)Because hes very old
q)What are the Istari |
hors doevres
-------------------- Why was Sam so keen on seeing the Elves? |
Because Sam has never met chain-smoking chocaholics.
************************************************** *** What or who is the Watcher in the Water's roommate? |
Ever since Graham the Perch got sick of doing all the washing up, it's lived in solitary squalor.
---------------------------------------- How did Gandalf inform the Fellowship that he had been on Weathertop? |
While he was up there, he threw down some flares, hoping they would see them. He also left a big banner that said "Gandalf was Here!"
..::When did Frodo first succomb to the power of the ring?::.. |
Lol, that shows how bad of a speller i REALLY am....
Frodo was never under the power of the ring - it was really Sam. You see, when Frodo and Sam started going up with Gollum, they decided to switch places. They quickly traded hair and eyes and names, of course! So it was never Frodo who was under the power... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What powers did the ring hold? |
It made anything that its bearer touched turn into butterscotch. Sauron really liked butterscotch.
---------------------------------------- What is the name of Théoden's horse? |
Well, he was a white horse, so of course they called him Bert. Though after the events of the Pelennor Fields, his name was changed to Dead Weight.
******************* What did Frodo dream of in Bombadil's house? |
The Horse (he wasn't very imaginative)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What was Legolas's favourite food? |

I know this because it's all in the dream diary that he kept for his psychiatrist (HoME XV). -------------------------------------------- Quote:
------------------------------------------- What is a common Hobbit expression for some bizarre or unbelievable piece of information? |
They use both "jinkies" and "zoinks" to a great extent.
..::Why did the trolls have such a hard time figuring out how to cook Bilbo and the Dwarves?::.. |
Because they were all great gourmets. Each had very particular ideas about how to prepare Dwarf and Hobbit, but before they could decide whether to flambée, sauté or pot-roast their meal they realised that they hadn't yet visited the new local Tuscan restaurant. The problem was solved and Thorin et al were released.
-------------------------------------------- Who or what are the Ainur? |
The monsters under my bed.
Why did the King of the Ringwraiths stab Frodo? |

Aulë was the leader of the Arda Nerds. Tulkas was his bitter enemy, who used to make fun of Aulë and shove him around in the Halls of Mandos. [ October 20, 2002: Message edited by: Birdland ] |

I second that, Birdland, although I sense the distinct flavour of real life creeping in there. No such danger for the Arda Nerds, eh?
Quote:
---------------------------------------- Whence came the Corsairs? |
From Gillette. They have a new quintiple-bladed action, for a smoother, closer shave. Designed especially for dwarves.
Since among dwarves shaving is considered something of a fetish, those use them are shunned. Just like hobbits shun those who wear shoes. ******** What is Michel Delving? Quite so, Squatter - Michael Delving. [ October 27, 2002: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ] |
I think you mean Michael Delving, which was one of Tolkien's early ideas for the name of the character who later became Sam.
--------------------------------------------- Whence had Éomer and his men just come when they met Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. [ October 21, 2002: Message edited by: Squatter of Amon Rudh ] |
they all have been to sauna alongside with their horses
==================================== who on earth is Erech and what's the stone of his? |
Erech was the first Man to land on the Land of Gift. When he came ashore he tripped over a large stone that was sticking out of the sand, breaking his big toe. The incident gave rise to the Númenorean expression "stone of Erech", meaning an unseen difficulty that arises on the brink of success.
--------------------------------------------- What is the name of the inland sea within the borders of Mordor? |
The sea of Nurnen. It's said Sauron was raised by 10 nuns, and being cruel and nasty boy, he drowned them all in the sea. Hence nuns ten --> Nunnen --> Nurnen
===================================== What killed Smaug? [ October 22, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ] |
Food poisoning. He'd been too lazy to hunt that day, and had eaten an old jar of frankfurters that was a hundred years past its sell-by date.
-------------------------------------------- Who was Elrond's brother and what is his claim to fame? |
His name was Elrog; he was the first half-elven with half-wings!
------------------------------------------ Where did Tom Bombadil meet his wife? |
At the supermarket of course. They were both buying frozen pizzas.
--------------------------------------------- What places in Beleriand had Treebeard once frequented, according to his song? |
The lonely hearts bars, of course!
------------------------------ How were Frodo and Sam rescued from Mt. Doom after the destruction of the Ring? |
By chance they met a minicab driver, who happened to have been summoned to a pick-up at the Sammath Naur by a prankster. He gave them a lift as far as Ithilien for the very reasonable price of everything they were carrying. He left Sam the box that Galadriel had given him because, in his own words, "What sort of a berk wanders around carrying a box of dirt?"
--------------------------------------------- What is depicted on Théoden's banner? [ October 21, 2002: Message edited by: Squatter of Amon Rudh ] |
Dalmation puppies.

What are the Elves widely known for? |
Having a strange knack for being in the right place at the wrong time.
Who were the Dead Men of Dunharrow? |
A popular group of minstrels, who specialised in a style that they called "Heavy Mithril".
--------------------------------------------- Where does the Anduin rise? |
This kind of fish (anduinus aquamarinus urinus), more commonly known as simply Anduin (two species though - Red Anduin and Hairy Anduin), is inhabiting pools adn ponds in the subtropical regions. Better rise is expectable if a fisherman uses horned frogs as a bait.
=========================================== What kind of fella is supposed to wear yellow boots? [ October 22, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ] |
Sauron, he always had a yellow fetish. Why else was the Ring made of gold and not mithril or something?
Who was the last king of Gondor? |
Admortemil the Terminally Leprous.
---------------------------------- What happened at the Gladden Fields? |
The Happy Thanksgiving Day Dance was performed by Morris dancers waving stalks of corn.
