Awww: a pillow? lol. jk: that is important, I am just able to sleep on the ground quite easily, personally.
And toilet paper: yeah, handy I guess...you could always use a leaf...just make sure it wasn't poison ivy. |
Then again, you could always use your backpack as a pillow! (two jobs in one)
As for toilet paper, good idea, I have personally had the misfortune of needing the toilet in the middle of a forest, all well and good you say, until I mention it was a pine forest (distinct lack of soft leaves) bit rough on the old posterior!!! Walking around looking like a hedgehog/ porcupine was not my idea of fun.... A.Y.S. F.G. |
Ok, here are things I consider a must in ME.
A map of Middle-Earth An Elvish dictionary A horse A Bazooka Insect repellent [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
An Orc repellant may be of more use! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
F.G. |
I like this Firladion Greenbow. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] What I would take to ME:
a survival guide to ME bartering supplies(money, jewels, etc.) clothes food (and plenty of it!) a journal to write everything down in for my book I would have to pick the LOTR trilogy if it were all in one so I wouldn't have to keep track of three books. Oh and can I bring a few other people with me? like Legolas, Strider, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf(you need a wizard for some things you know...)and all the rest that I don't want to type out. hehehe [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Can't wait... |
You could use your bag as a pillow, but it might be a bit lumpy if it was full of horses and elves!!!
Taking a wizard sounds like a really good idea, and if you took a towel, you COULD use it instead of toilet paper if you were stuck in a pine forest!!! |
5 items plus a book eh!
1. Deoderant - don't want to be wiffy when you meet any handsome male elves; 2. Long dark wool cloak - can also be a towel-blanket etc; 3. First aid kit containing lots of painkillers; 4. Fly spray - kills nasty insecty things and also can be used to spray in eyes; 5. Large flask of wine - hey who cares whats happening just have a drink. Book - telephone directory - scrunch up sheets to putinside backpack for pillow, use as toilet paper when in pine forests, make paper aeroplane to send for help and wrap gifts when it is a friendly hobbit's birthday! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Until we pass on the trail A xx |
Does anyone know of a brand of insect repellant which also kills orcs and other unwanted creatures such as goblins and trolls? Preferably one which can also be used as a deoderant! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
|
WEll, you'd think it'd have to smell nasty to repel the insects, smell sweet to repel the orcs, and have no smell at all for the deoderant. thats a dilema. But hey, I think there might be a 3 in one thing available there. Three different nozzles. the red one to get rid of insects, the black one to get rid of orcs, and the white one for deoderant. it may be kind of expensive though. Those orcs take a lot of spraying toget rid of you know... [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
|
I bet Athelas would fill the bill. It's the All-Purpose Herb!
Thing is, for it to REALLY work, you need a King. (King sold separately. Your results may not be the same as shown.) |
I don't know of a deodorant that can be used as an Orc/fly spray, but my wife uses something in the morning that nearly chokes the life out of me (it does smell nice, eventually, once the smog clears!!) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
It may have the same effect on Orcs and Flies, but she won't let me try. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Or I could just send her up against them, (they would run a mile if she gets to argueing!) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] F.G. |
I think I know of your lady wife Firladion. Is she a fair maid with a tongue, when unleashed, would flay the skin from back?
I doubt she would appreicate being referred to as insect/ Orc repellent!!! Amanruthiel [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] |
Ok, but wouldn't it be easier to carry the deoderant stuff than your wife? It's like all these people who are going to carry their horses, it might just be easier to walk!

Ha, ha, ha [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Tis true about my fair maid, Amanruthiel, she could skin an Orc with her eyes from twenty paces, or at least the daggers that fly from them. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I suppose she would be a bit on the large size to fit into my backpack though, going to have to stick with my trusty bow or sword. Oh well. F.G. |
Funny you should mention your wife. It got me wondering when you told about yourself on the riddle thread what kind of woman it would take to put up with a "Robin hood Actor" and Tolkien-attic like yourself.
Does she encourage your "oddity" or tolerate it? My husband encourages my middle-earth tendancies. Strange though it may seem, for someone who stays as distant from it as he does. It takes a special spouce, doesn't it? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
This is very true.
My other half tolerates half of what I do and hates the other half. Her mind being of a very scientific nature, she has little room for my oddities and ("off with the fairies" as she puts it) life. We do balance each other out for the most part though. By the way, what do you mean "Robin Hood actor", actor!!!!!, actor!!!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I am Robin Hood!!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Thanks for understanding. A.Y.S. F.G. |
That's right, You Are Robin Hood! I meant no offense! I'm curious which part she hates? Or is it my business.
My hubby and I took the kids to a movie last night and he said "Why don't you go in and see the TTT Trailer, The Lord of the Rings is just about over." So I did and came back to watch Ice age with him and the kids and in 20 minutes he said "Why don't you go in and see Fellowship, it's just starting" So I did. When his movie was over I saw him come in to get me so I began to leave and he said "You can stay here, I'll take the kids home and come back and get you later" I Said "but this isn't over till 11 o'clock!" He made a special trip back to get me at 11 o'clock at night! He's so special! |
AAAHH, Raefindel, your husband sounds really sweet!
but who says scientific people can't be "away with the fairies" I manage to combine both qualities! |
Yes, a scientist in middle earth would be very useful! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
And Yes, My husband is very sweet! I think I'll keep him. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] We've been married 17 1/2 years. [ April 08, 2002: Message edited by: Raefindel ] |
So, are you going to change your list of things and pack a scientist, or are they not that useful?
[ April 08, 2002: Message edited by: Nevtalathiel ] |
I'm kinda short on scientists here, I'll bring my husband but he'll have to bring his own backpack, as he won't fit in mine and I'm not as strong as Danielle(in Everafter) and could not pick him up! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
|
No disrespect to Firladion's scientist wife (I'm sure she is a lovely lady putting up with Robin Hodd and all) but I would rather take a wizard - a lot more useful and less tempremental!!!
A xx [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] |
This is true Amanruthiel, she is a lovely lady!!
But you are still going to have problems trying to cram a wizard into your backpack! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Unless of course you have a really tiny wizard (shrinks himself and all) that doesn't mind being closed in all day! Images of backpack being involuntarily thrown about and little squeeky voice saying "let me out!" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] As for my wife, she does have a very mature way of looking at things, but she does have her sane (insane?!) moments too, she married me after all! A.Y.S. F.G. |
so, getting back on subject, what else would one need to take to middle earth? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
|
I'm sticking with chocolate, coffee, and superglue! Well, I would include super glue in my first aid kit.
|
1) a sword
2) an elven cloak 3) lembas 4) athletic shoes 5) an armed wizard |
That's a really hard question! I guess I'd bring these 5 things, but it's the weekend, so I'm not really thinking or anything [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
5. a sword (I just don't know how to use it) 4. lembas 3. maps 2. blankets 1. 8 of my best friends (it's like a fellowship pizza party!) |
*sets backback on floor*
Here I have... 1) elf-radar [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] 2) blanket 3) tomatoes, string of sausages...and lembas 4) plenty of water 5) clothes I have my weapon hanging ready on my belt...Sindagaer, the short sword, my weapon of choice [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
A small bottle of ale
A sword w/ sheath A small knife Lembas Rope |
I guess I'm alone in my need for chocolate and caffine. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

No! I'm bringing it with me! It's for bribery perposes! I sware it! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
|
I'd be bribed with the chocolate!!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
What will you give me for it? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
No, actually I was intending to use it to get the Lembas recipe outta Galadriel. Either that or we could get her really drunk... |
Yeah, no one seems to have previously mentioned taking alcohol, so I think it's safe to assume Lush isn't coming! Alcohol could be useful though, bribery, self defense, escapism, the list of uses is endless...
|
... anethestic if wounded...
|
and antiseptic...
|
Also good to help start the old BBQ up.
Anyone for a sausage, they are a bit burnt but they still taste good!! F.G. |
Do they taste of alcohol after this BBQ?
|
Well I would take:
The One Ring Elven bow Arrows (Do need them for the bow, if not: what in the h*** sould I have the bow for then? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] lots of lots of food and my little tiger [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] (my cat: Sofus, he is cute and protective) |
