Her invisible friend, Charles Fitzgerald Silvergill. His very excistence drove Celeborn nuts. "There's no such person!" he'd yell at Galadriel. She'd cry, and wander off with Charlie. She got her revenge when she invited 8 stinky mortals and a wood elf to Lothlorien.

As The One Ring was destroyed, all the ringbearers underwent a very sad time when a voice sounded in their head, telling them to eat their rings (it didn't go away until they did).

He was jealous of gollum's good looks. (I's serious, it's a joke...LoL)

Diamond18 12-01-2002 06:22 PM

Orcs love to sit in a circle and sing "Kum Bah Yah, my friend, kum bah yah." Only they use the orkish word for friend, which is unknown. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Why did Pippin throw the stone into the well?

mordor136 12-01-2002 07:23 PM

He thought it was a coin and he wanted to make a wish.

Why didn't Galadriel take the ring?

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-01-2002 07:26 PM

It had no ornaments, no jewels, no NOTHING!! She thought she was worth more than ten of those boring little rings. Besides, not only did it not match her dress, but her finger was wayyyyyy too small for that ring!

Did Gandalf ever get married?

Mintyztwin 12-02-2002 07:18 PM

Nope. He was in a relationship, with an elf (We won't mention any NAMES!)But she didn't like hobbits. So a'course, "Gandie" left her, I mean, hobbits are way cool!

What is a hobbits fav. game? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord 12-02-2002 07:22 PM

A primitive and warlike form of golf. It involves finding a marauding orc and, aiming for a nearby rabbit hole, swiping his head off with a club.

What went through Gollum's mind as he plunged into Mount Doom?

Diamond18 12-02-2002 09:01 PM

What is this thing called life? What makes the sun rise and set? What makes the moon orbit around the earth? Why does the caged bird sing? How do you solve a problem like Precious? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? Is there such a thing as a moonbeam, or is simply particles of light? Particles of light are things, aren't they? Oh, I wonder what that stuff down there is? I wonder, will it be my friend?

How did Ted Sandyman die?

Gwaihir the Windlord 12-03-2002 04:51 AM

On a side note, Diamond; are you sure it wasn't 'Oh no, not again'? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] You my friend have been reading the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, don't try and deny it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ted Sandyman... he was eaten by an angry Entwife because he said he didn't believe in them. Which just goes to show that you shouldn't rule out any possibilities.

Who was Gandalf's father, and what was his profession?

HerenIstarion 12-03-2002 05:41 AM

Gandalf's father's name was also Gandalf. He was Gandalf Gandalfsson. But don't you think he was named after his father, nay, he was named after his grandpa, who also was Gandalf. In fact, to be honest, all Gandalf's ancestors were named Gandalf, and those were counted up to 337 generations. Proper way to address any Gandalf was to list all his ancestors by name, so, to show one's politeness one had to say "Gandalfsson" 336 times. All of the family was invloved in piano bussiness, they had their advertisement slogan, which read as follows:

"Gandalfsson family - makers of fine pianos with a magical sound since Thingol was known as Elwe!"

Our Gandalf took the word "magical" of this slogan too literally and became a wizard, instead of becoming a piano master. The Gandalfssons dissaproved of the "betrayal" as they named the event, and took to calling him names, such as Mithrandir (with the meaning of "dirty grey vagabond") and Olorin (dreamer, with the implied meaning of one away from the real world) and Incanus (one gone south, i.e. cracked)

What were Saruman's hobbies?

[ December 03, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

Estelyn Telcontar 12-03-2002 07:13 AM

Saruman's favorite hobby was bowling. He was immensely proud of his wonderful crystal bowling ball and was extremely irritated when Wormtongue borrowed it, thinking that Merry and Pippin were bowling pins!

Did the Blue Wizards wear blue jeans?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 12-03-2002 07:41 AM

Almost always. The real reason for their name, though was they formed Middle-earth's first blues combo, singing in inns all along the Anduin.

===========================================

Which people, if any, live around the Ice Bay of Forochel?

Diamond18 12-03-2002 11:18 AM

*gasp* They're on to me! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Yes, that was, shall we say, "inspired" by Douglas Adams.

As to the Ice Bay. Forochel was renowned for its figure skating Hobbits: such greats as Alexei Whirlntwirl, Alexei Jumpsalot, Alexei Camelspin and Alexei Fallsonrear (all great skaters are named Alexei) went there to train.

This practice continued until the Freak Winter of 2911, when the Bay did not freeze over, and several Hobbits drowned. Then the Rangers of Forochel (the Bay's other inhabitents) closed off the Bay. Figure skating in Middle-earth has not been the same since.

How many children did Merry have?

How often did Faramir's left eyebrown twitch?

Diamond18 12-03-2002 12:15 PM

That's right, Adam, 42 is a very important number! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Faramir's eyebrow twitches five times a minute—that's every twelve seconds. It can be rather distracting, especially since it gives you the feeling that he's reading your thoughts with every twitch.

What is a Hobbit's favorite holiday?

mordor136 12-04-2002 11:43 AM

Why did Elrohir and Elladin ride around so much? (I'm not sure about the spelling. Is that correct?)

Raefindel 12-04-2002 07:28 PM

Because their arms were getting tired.

What did Galadriel grow in her garden?

Mintyztwin 12-04-2002 08:18 PM

garlic, to ward of the Ringwraiths. Oh, and a few silverbells, and cockleshells, and some elf-maids all in a row!

********************************************

How many wraiths, could an elf-lord face, when an elf-lord would face wraiths?

Diamond18 12-04-2002 10:31 PM

An elf-lord would face as many wraiths as an elf-lord could face when an elf-lord would face wraiths. (Or, 42).

What was the happiest day of Túrin Turambar's life?

Gwaihir the Windlord 12-05-2002 01:52 AM

The day he was put under Glaurung's spell. It was the magical equivelent of being high; for a while he didn't have to think; since his entire life, including his thoughts, were dark and morbid, this was a very well-deserved break for him.

Where did Sauron briefly set himself up as a necromancer?

[ December 05, 2002: Message edited by: Squatter of Amon Rudh ]

latando angaina 12-05-2002 03:24 PM

well, I can't list the whole bunch of places he visited, since he joined with the crew of wondering circus. He had a tent with an inscription - Necro the Magnificent, fortunetelling, spiritism, hiromanty. He had a cristal globe for those purposes, but it was always showing bad things, namely bearded oldmen, pirate ships and grimacing dudes with long fangs, so customers were not too happy, which is usually main ground of income. Necro the Magnificent dreamt of gaining fortune, but, poor fortune teller as he was, decided to take up his older profession of world conqueror and returned to Mordor. Which prooves how bad he was at aforesaid fortune telling, otherwise he would have been able to foresee the end of it all, would not he?

who were green faced long fanged dudes in Necro's crystal ball?

latando angaina 12-05-2002 03:34 PM

well, we did it almost at once, but i was a minute ahead [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] so I;m going to answer findorfin's question and get back to mine:

Miriel died because she saw grimacing green faced long fanged dudes in Necro's ball!

Alatar and Pallando. They had a nasty accident with a volatile magical experiment. All ended well, though: they managed to join a travelling freak show and found fame and fortune.

Where exactly is Khand?

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-05-2002 07:19 PM

It's their equivalent of the North Pole, I would think you knew that!

Does Saruman have a pet?

Diamond18 12-05-2002 07:50 PM

Yes, and his name is Lurtz. Gríma Wormtongue used to be his favorite pet, but Lurtz supplanted him, and that's the real reason Gríma killed Saruman. Just before slitting his throat his whispered in his ear, "That'll do, Gríma, that'll do!"

Galadel Vinorel 12-06-2002 03:26 PM
