If the fish shies away from the Gondorian, does it surprise you?

I see...

If you jab the chest of a Rohirrim with a sharp stick, do not be astonished when she uses her hammer to wound you with many* wounds.

well what does that mean.?! That i should stay away from sticks?! Or Rohirrim might beat me with a hammer??

I don't like the thought of Nazgul in my front yard right now........

Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.

"Tis better to have loved an lost than to have been exploited by an Uruk-hai."

Yes, I suppose that is true...

Malbeth once warned me that the dragons were coming to the blue mountains.
In a fan fic i'm writing the main character lives in the blue mountains and the dragons don't like him.
Oh no look out Ceangál.

Hhhhmmmm... I don't drink, so I don't know what that would be... But if I have any rotting Ents in company, I should stay away from all kind of drinks, I guess...
HHhhhmmm... Am I going to a banquet soon? Coolish!

I disagree. Some parties are best obliterated by alcoholic amnesia. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Mine for today is:
Wise words there.

Today's Prophecy for November-born
8/18/2002

I perceive that you take great pride in your jeweled circlet, so I say to you: Beware of your haughtiness! For even while you admire your own reflection in the still waters, a foul vapor rises from your arms, and Men and donkeys flee from your stench.*
- Malbeth the Seer -

What?! I have BO or something?! *Runs off to buy a bottle of perfume - Valinor's Finest*

And I wish I had a jewelled circlet.

Today's Prophecy for November-born
8/21/2002

A lost treasure lies behind the cabinet. Clean your room once in a while!*
- Malbeth the Seer -

Ok...when even Malbeth thinks I ought to clean my room, maybe it's a sign. *looks around...can't see her carpet*

When Halflings smack Rohan, its time to move.*
- Malbeth the Seer -

Um, is it just me, or does Malbeth not like people born on Christmas?

erm, ok...so i take a cow ride through a library or my sister will kill me...and my horse is going to challenge me to a duel...

yup, malbeths still going strong!

Ahhh, I see. Wise words Malbeth, wise words.

whats a helcaraxe? just wonderin...

It's the Grinding Ice, when Feanor led the group of elves to Middle earth (him and some others took the ships),and the rest had to go north and cross the Helcaraxe. Here's the definition of it in The Encyclopedia of Arda:

"The knowledgeable Dragon is a fine match for love - unless you're not a Dragon."

Ok tanx Malbeth i don't know how to use this great advise, but i bet it is really usefull [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Amanduil, your so nice [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This one's from May. I think it's the most interesting and the wisest saying out of them. Listen to the words he says! So wise...so powerful..

Ha! I was wondering if the walrus one ever came up. Good to know it came to you, Loth! Malbeth is so right on! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The knowledgeable can manage a horse,
the offensive a flock,
The Half-elf be a doughty fighter,
To have greed is better than to burn on a pyre:
There is nothing the can do.
- Malbeth the Seer -

That is really true...... i feel so enlightened.....

They always come true because they're so cryptic they could man almost anything.

Hey, mine said: "Take that, nostradamus." at the end...hmm... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

He is! That's my favorite one so far. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh...I see... [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] Your so wise, Malbeth [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Seek for the mace that was broken. Look for the mace that was lost. Search for the Elf that has spoken, and ask what a new one will cost.

Hmm...

I think all that predicting must have been getting to Malbeth by the time he came up with this one. Either that or the translator was having a very bad day.

I couldn't keep this gem to myself:

Ah, the barrow wight is human then!

Hmm, I havent visited Malbeth recently...must do that now. See what gems he has cooked up for an october baby today...

If anyone ever comes with me to the Blue Mountains, please remind me to follow the bees.

*Try not to battle the first Rohirrim you see. Have patience, and the Rohirrim will battle itself.*

hehe... spot on..

An industrious Hobbit walks the corridors of your dreams. To purge the Hobbit from your thoughts, seek the comfort of the Dead Marshes.*

Well, incidently the first part is right...but seek comfort in the marshes?!

Hmmm...I think Malbeth must get around. "With sisters seven I slept, my will I worked with them all"?! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I didn't do a thing meanwhile! I know, this must mean that I am lazy.

How true.

i dont understand....

So essentially I'm going to meet the lumberjack version of Rod Stewart? I'm going to avoid those mountains like the plague.

Is that a fortune or a command? And do you guys have a spare axe? I'm considering following Malbeth's advice, but I don't have an axe...of course, I'd like to know what would happen if I did what Malbeth told me to do...

It's a command, VanimaEdhel; and since it comes from the great Malbeth, you must needs obey it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You can use mine. It dates back to the English Civil War: Three new heads and five new handles and it's still going strong.

I knew it - the hares of Saladriel have a role to play in my life!!

Some Dwarves enjoy exploiting , but it is forbidden in Rhovanion.
Damn, does malbeth know EVERYTHING?! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

Did you for one moment doubt it, Estelyn? I certainly didn't. The clue is in these lines:

"...I went hunting wild
After the wildest beauty in the world,
Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hare,
But mocks the steady running of the hour"

In Dunland,in the lair of frogs, will you catch your best friend.*

my best friend is looking for frogs, my best friend is a frog?

all i can say is hmmmmmm

Has anyone ever wondered how to tell when the time is ripe to do something? Be ye no more in ignorance.
