Oh, I do recommend it, it's one of my favourites (actually all of the UT is something I really like, so much lore in there :D).

Now, on to a new quote:

-----/ --/ ----/ --/ ---/ --/ ----/ ----/ ---/ ----/, -----/ --/ ---/ ------/ ----/.

Now, let's hear some letters!

Aganzir 12-20-2008 10:25 AM

I could do with some T.

Beregond 12-20-2008 10:30 AM

WWW please!

Guinevere 12-20-2008 10:35 AM

Are there any O's?

Tuor in Gondolin 12-20-2008 10:47 AM

"e"s, please.

Lindale 12-20-2008 08:22 PM

R please! :D

The Might 12-21-2008 11:36 AM

TOWER

T-ere -- -ore -- -o- o- -oo- t--- -o- --ow, ----- o- t-e ----- We-t.

I hope I got it all right with the letters. Seems to be an easy one from now on.

Ilya 12-21-2008 07:35 PM

S?

The Might 12-21-2008 07:40 PM

TOWERS

T-ere -s -ore -- -o- o- -oo- t--- -o- --ow, ----- o- t-e ----- West.

Tuor in Gondolin 12-22-2008 07:44 AM

"n"s?

Eönwë 12-22-2008 07:54 AM

"h"?

The Might 12-25-2008 10:11 AM

TOWERS HN

There -s -ore -n -o- o- -oo- th-n -o- -now, -h--- o- the --n--- West.

Btw, I apologize that in the previous two posts the next to last word was written as a five-letter word, it has six, as is to be seen in the first post with this quote.

Tuor in Gondolin 12-25-2008 11:48 AM

There is more in you of good then you know, child of the kindly West.

Thorin's deathbed speech to Bilbo.

Samwise 12-25-2008 12:43 PM

There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West.

The Might 12-25-2008 09:20 PM

Samwise has indeed the 100% correct sentence, however I'll give this one to Tuor, since I myself very well know how easy it is to make the "then/than mistake". Why, I still make it today in many of my posts...

So, Tuor, take it away!

Tuor in Gondolin 12-26-2008 08:03 AM

Oops! Well, that'll teach me about not
looking up a quote to double-check it. :eek:

How about:

- - - - - / - - , / - - - - ! / - - - - - - / - / - - - - / - - - /
- - - - - - / - - / - - - / - - - - - - - / - - / - - - / - - - - / - - - - .

The Might 12-26-2008 08:46 AM

Well, I realised it was a mistake since the E's had all been given, so it could only be an A at that spot.

Speaking of E's... E!

Tuor in Gondolin 12-26-2008 12:27 PM

- - - - e / - e , / - - - - ! / - - - e e - / - / - - - - / - - - /

Aganzir 12-26-2008 01:45 PM

Are there any M's?

Guinevere 12-26-2008 02:16 PM

T for me, please

Tuor in Gondolin 12-26-2008 02:21 PM

The Might 12-28-2008 03:02 PM

A-bomb! :eek:

Guinevere 12-28-2008 03:02 PM

How about N?

Aganzir 12-28-2008 03:04 PM

Haha I'm not sure if I've ever before seen people cross post asking the same letter here. :D

An R, please.

edit: okay this doesn't make sense anymore ;)

Tuor in Gondolin 12-28-2008 08:15 PM

- - a r e / m e , / - - r - ! / - n - e e - / - / - - - - / - a - /
- a - - - t / - - / - - r / m e e t - n - / - - / a n - / t - a t / - - - e .

MET RAN (Fortunately Ran was an elf, not an orc).

Beregond 12-30-2008 12:12 AM

I just can't put my finger on it. We need a D at any rate, if you will!

Tuor in Gondolin 12-30-2008 07:42 AM

Quote:

Spare me Lord! Indeed I will say naught of our meeting to any that live.
Grima Wormtongue to the Lord of the Nazgûl in "The hunt for the Ring".

Tuor in Gondolin 12-30-2008 08:17 AM

Yesss. It's poor Wormy being picked on.
And not by some nassty hobbit! :eek:

Guinevere 01-02-2009 11:15 AM

Happy New Year to everybody! :)

I have it.

Quote:

"An Oliphaunt, it was!" he said. "So there are Oliphaunts, and I have seen one. What a life! But no one at home will ever believe me."
Samwise after a close-in look at an Oliphaunt in Ithilien, from Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit, TT.

Guinevere 01-04-2009 02:28 PM

That's it!
 
Well done, Inziladun!

Inziladun 01-04-2009 03:43 PM

Thanks much.

Here's one:
