Correct you are, oh good smelling one.

Lone Ranger + Sandman = Sleepy Ranger

Take it away.

Their man goes around haunting Square Mile?

Uh.... the phantom?

The Barrow-wight?

Nope!

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

So is it Thenamir, the Capitalist Spectre?

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.

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

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

Next clue:

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

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

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.

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

Or Gil-Galad?

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


hmm... Sleepy Ranger perhaps?

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.

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!!

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 )

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!

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

Heren Istarion?

The only real estel?

Neither. :)

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

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

Lindil?

Seeker of the straight path

Seed=scion, perhaps?

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

Scion of the faithful=Nilp

Indeed it is phantom. The thread is yours.

*ears perk up*
 

My, what a wonderful puzzle that was! :D

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

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

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.

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

:p

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)

:D :p

Wise, hammer wielding, and good smelling to boot.

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.
