Lomelindi: you were correct

Aldagrim Proudfoot: wasn't it Lomelindi's turn?? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Ummm, it has been a while, sorry, I am so impatient! Oh well. If someone else wants to go they can.

Name at least 3 other names for Hobbits.

(I apologize; I've been really busy––and pretty much Internet-less––of late, and I honestly didnae realize that someone had confirmed my answer.)

Anyways, to answer Arwen's question:
~ Periannath
~ Holbytla
~ Banakil
Not to mention Halflings, Little People, and Little Folk. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Yup, sounds good! Your turn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who were the founders of the Shire?

(I'll give you this hint: they have a connection to a certain town with a certain Inn.)

Marcho and Blanco.

Yep. Go forth.

::sighs:: I'm good at answering questions, but I'm terrible at asking them. I need that hobbit trait of coming up with good questions…

Sorry about skipping ahead.

Here's an easy one:

What are the top three brands of pipeweed grown in the Southfarthing? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gandalf the Grey

Would those be, Gandalf the Grey, Longbottom Leaf, Old Toby, and Southern Star?

*dances a quick and sprightly jig while grinning broadly*

Bethberry

Right you are, Bethberry! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your go.

Thank you, Gandalf.

*nervously climbs down Old Willow and clears throat, pulling her tunic down so as to be presentable for delivering her first ever trivia question.*

What hobbit family has a private entrance to the Old Forest?

With a bit of a hop, skip and jump,
Bethberry

The Brandybucks.

*curtsies graciously to Lindolirian*

I should have asked, where is it! *G*

You're on.

Bethberry

What Westron name means halfling?

Do you mean 'hafling' precisely or are you referring to the form preserved in Rohan, holbytla, 'hole-builder'?

Bethberry

A Westron name for the Hobbits, meaning literally 'halfling'.

Wouldn't that then be the Westron word banakil, which means 'halfling'?

Bethberry

Yes it would Bethberry.

*nods head apologetically for taking so long to return to the game*

The rowdy young Brandybucks are taking up all my time--and they have more energy than I. *sigh*

Now, another trivia question: Which hobbits are known for wearing, on occasion, a certain kind of foot apparel? And what might that kind be?

Bethberry

Would that be the Harfoots?

I think this question has two answers. The hobbits of the the Eastfarthing who were mainly Stoors wore dwarf-boots in muddy weather. But Trotter, the wild hobbit, wore wooden shoes.

sharon, the 7th age hobbit

*dances a jig to celebrate the respect Child of the 7th Age has for the lore concerning hobbits; then sits down on the bank of the Withywindle to listen to Child set the next trivia question*

Err, let's see:

Fill in the blank.

Dwarf Gloin's description of Bilbo Baggins:

He looks more like a _____________than a ___________________________.

sharon, the 7th age hobbit

Dwarf Gloin's description of Bilbo Baggins:

He looks more like a grocer than a burgular

Very good Joy! Your turn next.

sharon, the 7th age hobbit

How old was Bilbo when he adopted Frodo, also, how old was Frodo at that time?

Hullo Joy,

Let's see now. Bilbo was 99, and Frodo was in his tweens ... * mutters a couple of mathematical calculations * ... that should be, 21 to be exact.

Gandalf the Grey

Very good Gandalf! I suspect you were there when the adoption was formalized, eeh??

Hi Joy,

I believe Bilbo was a "well preserved" or "unchanged" 99 when he adopted the "irresponsible 'tween" Frodo at the age of 21 so they could share their birthday parties, 22 September.

Bethberry

Hmmph! Gandalf beat me to it. *curtsies graciously* Must come from long age, eh Gandalf? *grins* And I need to learn how to type faster! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ June 22, 2002: Message edited by: Bethberry ]

Well of course I was present at Frodo's adoption, Joy. Such occasions after all tend to be well-celebrated in Hobbiton. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No worries, Bethberry. Time is relative they say, especially when speaking of age and adoption. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Now then, on to the next question:

Where is the Golden Perch located?

at Stock, in Eastfarthing, I believe, Gandalf.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bethberry

edit for spelling!

[ June 22, 2002: Message edited by: Bethberry ]

Stock in Eastfarthing is right, Bethberry. Take it from here ...

(... as for me, I should head out from here soon. There's a party with live music starting shortly, and I intend to arrive precisely at a fashionable hour after it starts!)

Farewell for now, everyone.

Gandalf the Grey

They are ferocious and great terrors, even when one knows their names, when one is stealing mushrooms from their master, particularly since they have been told to eat Frodo should he trespass again.

Who are they and what are their names?

Bethberry

They are Farmer Maggot's dogs, Grip and Fang.

Yes, Joy, those are two of the three names. *curtsies* Do you know the third name?

Bethberry

Yes of course, Grip, Fang and Wolf. Forgot about Ol wolf. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

*curtsies to Joy* [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Yes ideed. And your question is... ?

[ June 23, 2002: Message edited by: Bethberry ]

How were Frodom Pippin and Merry related?
