how did Pippin meet Diamond?

The Thain was tired of springing Pippin out of the Lockholes for his drinking sprees, so he finally sent Diamond to pay the fine.

********* When Pipin and Diamond got married, where did they settle down?

The middle of Middle-earth, of course. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Seriously, though, they didn't settle down right away. They went on a long Honeymoon to Gondor, and on the way Pippin showed her all the places he'd had adventures. Even Moria.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How and when did Merry meet Estella?

Funny story. They each met at a support centre for people with crippling gambling addictions.

Who was the real true King of Gondor in the War of the Ring?

Why, Smeagol of course, by means of a dubious relationship between his Grandmother and Arathorn, while Arathorn was on an Eggs Sucking convention.

What can Athelas be used for?

It dissolves rock. It's what Saruman used at Helm's Deep, not gunpowder or sorcery.

How and when did Sam realise that he had a problem with alcohol?

I think it was the day that he adressed Frodo as Gandalf, planted a sapling upside down and kissed the hat rack instead of Rosie when he got home!
"Oooh, I must stop importing that Miruvor!"
-----------------
Back to Pippin, what was his chat up line?

I have dealings with Gandalf. I can make you a star!

(Ok, I'll admit that wasn't great!

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

How did Frodo manage to survive so long after being stabbed by the Ringwraith?

He said the magic words:
Twinkle twinkle little star
*****
How old is Bilbo really?

He's really only 45 at the end of LotR. He used his old looks to fool people into thinking that he had beaten the Old Took. Mean old Bilbo!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

++++++++++++++======+++++++++++++
What was Morgoth's real reason for stealing the Silmarils?

They were the absolute only thing that went with his evil dark lord outfit.


How did Morgoth escape whats-her-name . . . Ungoliant after she chomped down on his hand?

He escaped on his magical flying donkey named Fred the Smiteful.
********
Where did Bombadil get his boots?

I got them off of Elrond when he was wandering through the woods in the second age. I gave some lilypads in exchange. Aren't my boots great!?!

######################################

How did I (Tom Bombadil) meet Goldberry?

He took 'em off and was soaking his large, and smelly feet in the river, when Goldberry's ol' daddy popped up and yelled about him polluting his river-water. Well, Tom just rhymed back at him. Goldberry always did like rhyms. But her dad just yelled, "No more rhyming! I mean it! And get your stinking feet out of my water! This is inconceivable!!"

Bonus Question: What has Mintyztwin been watching recently? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

How did Tom meet old Man Willow?

The Princess Bride!!! I got that for Christmas... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anyway, Tom met old man Willow when he planted him in the ground. Of course, Tom is old you know! He knew that willow from seed to sapling to grumpy old tree.

What did Sam think when he saw the Oliphaunt?

[ January 26, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

"What on earth did Gollum do to my drink?!?!?!"


What DID nassssty ol' Gollum do to Sam's drink?

Raw fish puree, bones and all. It's quite good, if you like that sort of thing. I'm sure Gollum was just trying to get on his good side, in his own clumsy sort of way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What did Frodo dream of in Tom Bombadil's house?

He dreamt . . . Nazgúl were racing for him, gaining on him! At last, they surrounded him! There was no where to turn! No one to save him! One turned and said, "Got a light?" Than he woke up . . .

How did Aragorn fight of the Nazgúl on Weathertop?


Hey Diamond, check out Sauron's Discount Rings in Mayhem - you'll like it! [No, this is not a link, I am not that intelligent.]

By screaming "Gimme a kiss!"

What did Elrond think of Galadriel and Celeborn?

I'm sorry, that's just a silly question! He hated Galadriel, she was his mother-in-law after all. He secretly laughed at Celeborn and called him hen-pecked. "You could tell who wore the trousers in that relationship, eh, Elladan my boy!"
------------------------
how did Bill escape the Wargs after they let him go outside Moria?

He just walked by them, he'd been around Sam so long he really stunk!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did Frodo get stabbed at Weathertop?

When he put on the Ring he saw that all the Ringwraiths were wearing tutus and bunny slippers, so they had to silence him.
*********************************
What is Aragorn's secret passion?

LEGO


Why was there a balrog living in Moria?

Morgoth gave it to Durin's folk as a Christmas present - well, they were all the rage at the time and everyone had them. But they forgot that a Balrog is not just for Christmas ...

----------------------------------

Why did Gandalf choose Bilbo as the burglar for Thorin's Quest?

Of all the hobbits in the Shire, Bilbo had the shiftiest eyes, and the nicest teeth, and a disconcerting manner of smirking in an unsettling way. He was just the sort for the job.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What happened to the Silmaril that Maglor cast into the Sea?

Eaten by a fish. It caused mild stomach pains but hey! it was a pretty big fish so it could handle it.

What was the significance in the history of Middle-Earth of the Lonely Mountain?

well, the problem was that the lonely mountain was REALLY mean and used to steal the other mountains toys, so they banished it. Its sad really. (sniff)
--------------------
where did Merry REALLY go when he left the Prancing Pony?

He went to a tea party with his lovely teddy bear and susie doll. Why does Gandalf tell the hobbits to go to Bree?

Because they make the best cheese there; a soft surface-ripened cheese with a whitish rind and a pale yellow interior. Yum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who makes the best apple pie in all of Middle-earth, how was this determined, and by whom? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise is by far and away the best at making apple pie... It was all that practice he got on Bill Ferny's face.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What was Denethor's hobby?

Denethor liked to do crochet, embroidery and knitting. This was why he was so touchy all the time, he was proving how manly he was really. Not like poncy elf...
---------------------
When Legolas and Gimli rode on a horse together, who started moaning first?

Legolas of course, Gimli's ax kept poking him right in the butt!~~~~What was so bad about Moria?

The tourist board might claim to have ample parking space, but trust me on this one, don't drive to Moria. Its a nightmare.

Which member of the Fellowship did the Lothlorien community vote the most attractive?

Pippin, of course. Really, need you ask? Gimli was a close runner up, though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What happened at the Battle of Five Armies?

A tornado came through, knocked out almost everyone.~~~~~~~~~~Why was it was so important to get rid of the ring?

Oh my goodness, do you really have to ask? Gold is so tacky! It was an abomination! It had to be dealt with, and the only suitable way was doing away with it com-plete-ly. /shudders/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What does hi-Akallabeth translate to?

Middle Earth Used Car Salesmen. Dont trust them!

Haldir and legolas: Who had the hairstyle first?

whoever's is longest. Why is there never an elf with a beard?
