I believe it is Gollum's darkness riddle:

Quote:

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
Now I just need to find a suitable quote...

Hakon 06-20-2009 09:32 PM

You got it. Good luck finding a quote to use.

c a n n o t/ b e/ - e a - -/ c a n n o t/ b e/ s m e l t/

I've gotten this far.
I'm thinking that it might be a riddle from Riddles in the Dark, but I'm not certain.

Hakon 06-21-2009 03:44 PM

Eönwë already got it. It is Gollum's darkness riddle.

Inziladun 07-07-2009 04:59 PM

Anyone else want to give it a go? :rolleyes:

Eönwë 07-10-2009 10:04 AM

Oh. :o

I don't know whether this one has been done before, but here's an easy one...

edit: actually, first a question- do I need to include punctuation marks?

Do include them. Check out the last two of three for the format. ;)

I know it:
"To think that I should have lived to be good-morninged by Belladonna Took's son, as if I was selling buttons at the door!"
-Gandalf the Grey commenting on Bilbo's manners at the beginning of the Hobbit.

Eönwë 07-13-2009 01:24 PM

Yup. TGEW has it.

Bilbo and Gandalf's "good morning" discussion has always been one of my favourite parts of the hobbit.

I've always liked it too. Blimey, I don't think I can do this round until next week, we're going camping. If you want to wait that long for another quote, than I would be happy to do it. If you don't want to wait a week, then pick someone else to do the next quote.

Hoy there, TGEW. It appears you're back now. Got one for us?

Whoops! I totally forgot! Sorry about that. I'll fix it.
One moment...

TheGreatElvenWarrior 07-28-2009 06:00 PM

Hakon 07-28-2009 06:08 PM

Any E's? You know statistically speaking E is the most used vowel.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 07-28-2009 06:10 PM

Hakon 07-28-2009 06:15 PM

Any S's? I will keep quiet about my fun facts of letters for now.

Inziladun 07-28-2009 06:18 PM

How about H?

TheGreatElvenWarrior 07-28-2009 06:27 PM

Oh, and Hakon, I don't mind your letter fun facts. I actually enjoyed the last one. I didn't comment on it for fear of sounding "Un clever".:p;)

Hakon 07-28-2009 06:34 PM

L and I will post some more then.

Eönwë 07-28-2009 06:35 PM

Any Ks?
