Lush's I hate to come off as a nymphomaniac, but... in the Books Forum...

Thanks. I guess if this Forum needs its official pervert, the Mods needn't look too far. I personally think that "A Rough Draught of a Topic" is the coolest name ever.

I second the nomination for Middle-Earth AirForce.

And I nominate hold on to those rings started by the Phantom.

I'm not quite sure if this is right to nominate. It's not exactly a thread name, that's a link provided by Belin but I liked the nomenclature he chose very much:

this fine and interesting thread

it is to be found here and refers to The Professor as Scholar thread (by the same author and also worth nominating BTW)

Thanks to Cudae and to Birdland. A compliment from a barrowdowns member is a compliment indeed!
Like VanimaEdhel, I also like Lush's nymphomaniac thread starter. And for some reason Arwen Melian's topic, happy elves, really struck me funny.

This is not a thread, per se, but Belin sent me a pm with this title: "Entertain us, slaves!" I think it's great [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

New nomination!

Elves don't belong in Valinor?

by Keneldil the Polka-dot.

Hear, hear - that got my attention, and it actually applied to the topic. I'd also like to nominate Lush's nymphomaniac thread name, but it violates the friends and family clause. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

-Maril

Nympho is not a dirty word. It actually has some nice connotations. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I second the vote on the new Elves thread, because it certainly got a lazy @$$ like me to read it.

*looks around nervously*

Totals

Thenamir, Elenglin, BW, Nar, the Phantom, Vanima Edhel, Keneldil the Polka-dot with 2 votes each for single topics.

Kalimac with 2 votes, divided between two topics.

Lush with 3 votes for a single topic.

You know who with 5 votes, divided between three topics.

Thirty-six others with single votes.

The Academy rests. Self-nominations were not counted. Topics mentioned without the author's name were not counted, unless referenced elsewhere on the list.

*laughs madly*

You sound like Hagrid with that you know who, Kermit... (sp? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

I haven't even looked at the thread, but there is one titled: "Never mind answering, its just a test"

Now this may not be too funny but considering it has two pages I can see that the title's instuctions weren't followed. hehehe [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HI strikes again (never mind when it was started!) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tulkas, it's just simple psychology [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Instruction of the "don't do this" kind is temtping people to do the opposite (and I heard Adam disliked apples, and Eve had allergy to them ...)

Rimbaud, I have 2 votes now, la la la...

Actually, it was just someone's signature/avatar test. It's turned out quite funny because of all the testing, then the responses that have come from it...check it out. I would certainly vote for it!

What about Smile when you say that, Gimli! by Birdland; a thread about Gimlis dwarwish line in the extended version of FotR.

I would like to nominate Kalimac
with her Far from the orc I love

Several New Subsections Required By Cranky Old Windbag by Kalessin.

Most of my choices have been mentioned already several times, but I'll say that Baran's "Gandalf a Madman?" has a certain snap to it. Not long-winded, but attention-grabbing nonetheless.

Thanks, HerenIstarion [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. That's what you get for listening to Original Broadway CDs while websurfing. Maybe I should try it again sometime.

I have a thread from the movies section by Birdland to "nominate".

Reviews - Good, Bad and Indiffferent

Come on, tell me I'm not the only one who hears Ennio Morricone music when I see that. The good, the bad, and the indifferent *freaky whistle/scream noise—aiyayaya* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What is the ground speed of an unladen Ent? by Kalimac.
I find the title both funny and interesting, it has a special ring to it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ January 01, 2003: Message edited by: Eärendil ]

What would we do without Monty Python? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dwarin Thunderhammer, Roll Out the Barrels. Appropriate, fun, and comes with its own tune. And reminds you of The Hobbit.

I would like to nominate Mr. Underhill's "Silmarilion Screams" in the Movies Forum for the nice alliteration and sheer attention-grabbing power.

All hail Lindril Arvilya for the super silly:

One Flew Over the Crebain's Nest

A new name for the ever popular "What are some other movies that the actors have been in?" type thread.

Here's a lovely new title on the Movies forum:

One Flew Over the Crebain's Nest by Lindril Arvilya

(edit - great minds, Diamond?? And similar tastes, apparently...)

[ January 11, 2003: Message edited by: Estelyn Telcontar ]

One of my favourite ones is

"Smile when you say that, Gimli!" ,

started by Birdland. Very funny, especially because Gimli is supposed to look grim and definitely not funny.
(I wonder why they made such an idiot out of him in TTT?)

It's simple, mi amor: because they were done making Pippin into even more of an idiot than he was (which they did in FotR). In RotK, it'll probably be Sam or someone equally as unidiotic...

Shagrat and Gorbag.

Does anybody want to make bets?

Oh, just so it doesn't look like I'm hijacking this thread and posting off topic (*shifty eyes* Who me?) here's a nomination:

Dr. Saruman, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Ring. by Balin999

[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

Yippiieee, thanks Diamond!
If there is anything that we need, it's a little praise now and then, my precious [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh and the post with the idiot (Gimli/Pippin) makes me think of sth.
(Thread soon to be found in "The Movies)

The Love of Legolas and Linniel, Usurped Princess and Daughter of Elrond - ON ICE! by VanimaEdhel.

Ooh la la, Lúthien... by our dear old Lush. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (It´s posted in Books.)
I have to say that the title and thread got my attention, and after reading the thread, made me laugh. Maybe that´s just me? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The South (Farthing) Shall Rise Again! by Gilthalion is far and away my recent favorite. A daughter of the Confederacy am I, and it warms the cockles of my heart to see the tribute paid to our history for such a worthy Cause (i.e. getting together Southern Barrow-Downers.) *tips hat* My compliments, Gil!

Well I'm glad at least you enjoyed it. LOL...it was actually the first thing I thought when I saw the thing about Ancanar...

Hobbits, Elves, and Hershey Bars by Ithaeliel.

Yum. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I need serious help! by A Dwarf Friend...really catches your attention, 'specially when you think they are going to talk about mental issues...

My fave is Smile When you say that Gimli. I think the best one I came up with was Seeking asylum? Sorry we are racist... as it was at a time when the problems of asylum was at a high here in the UK.

Just saw this one...

Uruk Hai Anti Defamation League, started by lindil.

Hand me my sword and my teeth, would you Frodo? by VanimaEdhel.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

- Maril (yes, I'm still dead)

Hey,

I'd have to agree with you on that one,Maril.

Oh and P.S. I like your name! (hehe) It's a mouthful!
