Diamond18 05-04-2006 12:11 PM

Correct you are, oh good smelling one.

Lone Ranger + Sandman = Sleepy Ranger

Take it away.

Lalaith 05-04-2006 12:41 PM

Their man goes around haunting Square Mile?

Diamond18 05-04-2006 02:58 PM

Uh.... the phantom?

The Barrow-wight?

Lalaith 05-04-2006 03:08 PM

Nope!

This might actually be a bit unfair for non-Brits, who might want to google Square Mile.

Diamond18 05-04-2006 03:24 PM

Okay.... um... well The Saucepan Man lives in London and has "man" in his name... That's all I got. :rolleyes:

Lalaith 05-04-2006 04:01 PM

No love, sorry....it's not that sort of clue.

Diamond18 05-04-2006 05:20 PM

So, you can confirm that this downer doesn't live in London? :D

The "their" is confusing me. Does the question pertain to multiple downers?

Lalaith 05-05-2006 01:00 AM

The clue refers both to the name of the Downer and their personal title. No "inside knowledge" about the Downer in question is required.

Mithalwen 05-05-2006 05:35 AM

I guess Square mile is "the City" ?but IU can't think of any downer it would apply to

The Saucepan Man 05-05-2006 05:41 AM

The Square Mile, or City of London, is a centre of capitalism.

So is it Thenamir, the Capitalist Spectre?

Lalaith 05-05-2006 05:46 AM

Ah, I suspected you would eat that clue for breakfast, Mr Saucie.

Their man, anagram ("goes around") Thenamir.
A Capitalist Spectre might haunt the Square Mile.

Diamond18 05-07-2006 03:26 AM

Saucie, Saucie, Sauuuuuuuuuccieeeeeeeee..... *ahem*

The Saucepan Man 05-07-2006 07:32 PM

Alright, already! I've been thinking. :rolleyes: ;)

Next clue:

In his World, he's an Orc ... one of few words.

Glirdan 05-07-2006 07:41 PM

I think this is way to easy but the first name that comes to mind is my dear friend Wilwa's brother, WaynetheGoblin.

The Saucepan Man 05-07-2006 09:04 PM

Sometimes, the obvious answer is the correct one ...

Well done, Glirdy. You're up next. :)

Why thank you. :D

This one might be rather easy, but who knows...

The inventor of the oxymoron.

Have at it.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-08-2006 05:51 AM

Perky Ent? I think that may have been done before. :D

Thinlómien 05-08-2006 06:36 AM

Or Gil-Galad?

Gil-Galad 05-08-2006 04:20 PM

ha yeah... the two obvious choices have been taken


hmm... Sleepy Ranger perhaps?

Diamond18 05-08-2006 09:09 PM

I'm thinking Hookbill the Goomba for his PT "Alive without Breath"

Also, the distinction of "inventor" must have some pertinence and H. has made numerous contributions to the Barrow Downs Product line.

Glirdan 05-09-2006 05:41 AM

Diamond, that was a great guess and if I would have seen that earlier, I probably would have chose that. But, it was Lommy that got it. (I'm not good at this kind of thing...) Take it away Lommy!!

Thinlómien 05-12-2006 11:47 AM

Barrow-Downs' Madonna

Boromir88 05-12-2006 12:46 PM

Hmm, I'm trying to figure out what you may be referring to. Perhaps somebody participating in Middle-earth Idol?

But for now I will go with Bethberry, who's "real" name is Madonna. (As far as Estelyn thinks :p )

Thinlómien 05-12-2006 12:51 PM

Well, you got it. Evidently I should develop my question-making skill, or then you're just too bright. :p

Anyway, the thread is yours!

Boromir88 05-12-2006 01:06 PM

Naa, it's just that thread was stuck in my head after Bethberry said I really was Aldo Nova, which I still crack up at. :D

Let's give this a try then:

our Seed of Veracity

mormegil 05-12-2006 01:27 PM

Heren Istarion?

Mithalwen 05-12-2006 01:34 PM

The only real estel?

Boromir88 05-12-2006 01:47 PM

Neither. :)

Mithalwen 05-12-2006 01:50 PM

arrgh I thought someone had something about truth in their PT but no luck finding. a grain of truth..or an anagram.... ?

Boromir88 05-12-2006 02:03 PM

You were looking in the right spot, just not for the right thing. :D

mormegil 05-12-2006 02:15 PM

Lindil?

Seeker of the straight path

the phantom 05-13-2006 12:00 AM

Seed=scion, perhaps?

Veracity=adherence to the truth=the faithful, perhaps?

Scion of the faithful=Nilp

Boromir88 05-13-2006 07:38 AM

Indeed it is phantom. The thread is yours.

Nilpaurion Felagund 05-14-2006 03:36 AM

*ears perk up*
 
My, what a wonderful puzzle that was! :D

Okay, sorry, 'bout that. Please get back to quizzing.

the phantom 05-17-2006 10:59 PM

I will not accept an answer without reasoning. I want you to figure this one out- not guess it.

I'll give hints if it seems necessary.

the flip side of a detested head

Diamond18 05-18-2006 12:34 AM

Dude. It's YOU.

I see you changed it, but it doesn't matter...

Flip Side = opposite

so,

Detested = Beloved

Tail is another way of saying Shadow. So I suppose Head does make more sense, as it's the opposite.

Either way, it's you.

Diamond18 05-19-2006 08:01 PM

And this is the part where you say, "Why yes, Diamond, you're absolutely correct, you genius you. It's your turn."

:p

the phantom 05-20-2006 10:51 AM

I'm not going to confirm your answer till you send me a frustrated "hurry up and confirm my darn answer" pm. ;)

(or you could just count this as your confirmation, though it's not completely official)

Diamond18 05-20-2006 11:19 AM

:D :p

Wise, hammer wielding, and good smelling to boot.

Roa_Aoife 05-20-2006 03:05 PM

Could it be Sophia the Thunder Mistress? Her PT is Scent of Simbelmynë, so she smells nice, and as the Mistress of Thunder, she would wield a hammer, and Sophia means wisdom, so wise, hammer wielding, and good smelling.
