Shop dummies have no faces, Loki the Norse god of mischief had his face burned off by poison from a snake, Tolkien was inspired by Norse Gods, Tolkien created Finarfin.

vacuoles to Variags

Maegaladiel 05-20-2003 12:05 PM

YAY! People like my topic! I'm so happy!!

I would answer your topic, guy who be short, if I knew what a Variag was. But I don't. So I'll just wait to see who answers this puzzler.

You guys are hilarious! This game just goes to show that everything IS connected to LOTR!! It's not just our imaginations. I think it's a plot...

Anyway. Carry on, then.

~MAEGALADIEL

Tinuviel the Nightingale 05-22-2003 06:31 AM

This one was tough, had to look up both items.
A vacuole is a small cavity in a tissue. Men have tissue. Variags are men. *beams proudly*.

sticky-tape to Aule

Meela 05-22-2003 06:53 AM

Sticky tape is sticky, as is glue. Glue is used in crafts, and if I'm not mistaken, Aule is the Vala of crafts.

CV's to Ioreth.

Arafangwen 05-22-2003 09:28 AM

I would answer that if I knew what CV's were. So what are they? Bye!

Himaran 05-22-2003 09:58 AM

CV's equals: Central Vaccuums? CheVies?

Annunfuiniel 05-22-2003 10:32 AM

CV=curriculum vitae, ie. career details or list of qualifications.
Hope that helps you to continue this game.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]Annun

the guy who be short 05-22-2003 02:34 PM

actualy, nobody is sure what variags are. they may not be men. anyway.
CV's are written/printed on paper, paper is made of trees, there was a white tree in minas tirith, minas tirith is where Ioreth lives. Next one- Kiwi Birds to Old Harry (the gatekeeper)

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-22-2003 02:37 PM

Kiwi birds make noise, a certain kind of noise is singing, hobbits sing sometimes, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pip are hobbits, they interact with Harry.

JLo to Wormtongue is your next one.

~Menelien

Meela 05-22-2003 02:52 PM

JLo has a nice a** (not in my opinion). So does Wormtongue (in my opinion).

Okay... non-opinion based one which doesn't involve my obsession with Wormtongue... nope, don't have one.

polices 05-22-2003 07:53 PM

JLo sings, hobbits sing, Frodo is a hobbit, He was in the Fellowship, Aragorn was in the fellowship Aragorn new Gandalf who meet wormtonge.

Ice to Moria. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Rynoah, the Overly-Happy 05-22-2003 08:08 PM

Ice to Moria:

Ice is cold. Cold is the opposite of hot. Boromir is hot. Boromi--

*ducks flying objects* ALRIGHT! I'll think of a different one....

Ice melts. When it melts, it becomes water. Water is wet. Sweating makes people wet and sticky. Sticks and stones may break my bones. Bones are given to dogs. Dogs bark. Trees have rough bark. Rough is the opposite of smooth. Smoothies are made of fruit. Fruits have seeds. Seeds sprout. Sprouts are young and springy. Mattresses are springy and soft. Mud is soft and squishy. It's hard to squish a diamond. Diamonds are found in mines. Moria is considered a mine.

How's THAT for a round-about?! HA! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Edit: Forgot to add another round-about!

Grasshoppers to Halbarad

[ May 22, 2003: Message edited by: Rynoah, the Overly-Happy ]

polices 05-22-2003 08:26 PM

Grasshoppers jump humans jump Aragorn is a human Aragorn knows gimli gimli uses an ax a ax is a weapon a pol-axe is a weapon a pole-ax is another name for a halbard. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Try this one... Police to Lothlorien

Leona 05-22-2003 09:48 PM

This is an easy one

police drive cars, those cars have sirens, sirens are known for playing harps and singing to trick sailors, elves sing and play harps, elves live in Lothlorien.

Since this is my first try I'm not very good, but of well.

Cats to Lord Elron

Leona 05-22-2003 10:08 PM

Oops, my mistake, I should have explained that the siren could be the noise-maker or a mermaid.

Sorry [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

That's good, except that I said "Halbarad" and not "halbard." [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ah well, moving on:

Cats to Lord Elrond:

Cats scratch people. Scratching a chalkboard produces ear-splitting sound. "Sound off!" is a way of saying, "Role call!" Actors play a role in stories. Writers create stories. The Empire State building has 102 stories. 102 is one number higher than 101. There were 101 dalmations in the movie of the same title. "Lord" is a title. Lord Elrond has the title of "Lord."

Erasers to Thorin Oakenshield

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-22-2003 10:49 PM

Erasers can be of many colors but are generally pink. Pink is the color of skin. Sking can be cut. When skin is cut, it bleeds. Sometimes people bleed a lot and die. Thorin Oakenshield died.

Purple clouds to Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Meela 05-23-2003 07:57 AM

Purple clouds indicate storms. Storms are often unwelcome. Lobelia Sackville-Baggins was not that welcome.

Padded bras to Minas Tirith.

the guy who be short 05-23-2003 09:59 AM

jeez, could it be any easier?
women wear padded bras, women lived in minas tirith. eaaaaaaasy!
or: padded bras are generally white, minas tirith has a white tree.

next one: A nokia 3410 to Glamdring

the real findorfin 05-23-2003 10:22 AM

Nokia 3410 is a mobile phone, some mobiles glow blue, Glamdring glows blue

Ball bearing > Barad-dur

Himaran 05-23-2003 12:04 PM

Ball-Bearings are Bearings, Skateboards have Bearings, Skateboards have wheels, Gandalf's cart has wheels, Gandalf was in Dol Guldor, Dol Guldor was Sauron's Fortress, Barad Dur is Sauron's fortress.

Linkin Park to the Blue Mountains

the guy who be short 05-23-2003 01:43 PM

i take it you mean lincoln park [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
lincoln park is in america, there are mountains in america, the blue mountains are mountains.

or

lincoln park is in memory of lincoln (probably), lincoln wore a tall hat, Maedros was tall, Maedros lived in Beleriand which was west of the blue mountains.

im making the next one alot harder. you have to go from the first one to a second thing to a last thing, if you get me. Red Bull to China to Drogo Baggins

Himaran 05-23-2003 06:02 PM

the guy who would be short: Actually I DO mean Linkin Park, as in the band - but it doesn't matter.

Red Bull to China to Drogo Baggins:

Ohhh.... a tough one.

Red Bull is a drink, Humans drink, Chinese are Humans, Chinese live in China, Humans live in China, Humans live in Middle Earth, Hobbits live in Middle Earth, Drogo is a hobbit.

Lame, but I couldn't think of anything else.

Batman to Ricky Martin to Gandalf.

ElenCala Isil 05-23-2003 06:47 PM

batman is a superhero, superheros have superhero calls, batmans superhero call is a bat symbol, bats are animals, bats can be found in south america, the people in south america speak spanish, Ricky martin speaks spanish, ricky martin sings, elves sing, some elves live in Lothlorien, the elves sing a lament, legolas would not translate the lament to the rest of the fellowship, Gandalf was part of the fellowship!

Whee! I'm done now

Next topic:

HTML to calculators to the Valar

[ May 23, 2003: Message edited by: ElenCala Isil ]

Himaran 05-23-2003 08:29 PM

HTML makes websites, websites can be about math, math is about numbers, calculators use numbers, calculators come in many colors, grey is a color, gandalf's color was grey, gandalf was sent by the Valar.

WHEW! These are getting tough -

Java Programmers to Dogs to Ithilien

Tinuviel the Nightingale 05-24-2003 07:06 AM

Java Programmers to Dogs to Ithilien.
Ooh hard hard hard hard hard. Okay I will begin:
Java programmers have something to do with a computer. Computers are sometimes frustrating and make you yell otu bad things. One such bad thing is '*****'. That is also a female dog. Dogs love trees. And what is in Ithilien? Trees!

Woah that took me a long time to figure out!
Now, you can do:
cardboard boxes to brush bristles to Niphrodel

the guy who be short 05-24-2003 10:01 AM

cardboard boxes to brush bristles to Niphrodel
hmm...
cardboard boxes are brown, hair can be brown, hairbrushes comb hair, hairbrushes have brush bristles, brush bristles are spiky, roses stems are spiky, roses are flowers, niphredil are flowers!
geez, ive made this game alot harder.

15 to Gimli to chinese whispers

Meela 05-24-2003 01:15 PM

15 is a number, as is 42, which is probably wrong, but i think its the number of uruks that gimli killed at helms deep. gimli makes loud battle cries, and loud is the opposite to whisper, which features in the game chinese whispers.

Cheddar cheese to Faramir to electricity.

ElenCala Isil 05-24-2003 02:40 PM

Cheddar cheese is cheese, mice eat cheese, mice are not always everyone's favorite, Faramir was not Denethor's favorite son, Faramir married Eowyn, Eowyn used to fancy Aragorn, Aragorn went to the mines of Moria with the fellowship, the mines were dark, because of darkness the lightbulb was created, a lightbulb uses electricity

Whoa, I made it!

Matches to Latchhooking to Theoden

elven maiden Earwen 05-26-2003 07:33 PM

Matches to Latchhooking to Theoden
Denethor likes matches, His older son was Boromier, boromier is weird just like latchhooking and eowyn likes to lachhook( [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) and Eowyn is Theodens Neice


Disco to Osgiliath!

Meela 05-26-2003 07:38 PM

Boromir is the disco king, Boromir is Faramir's brother, Faramir took the hobbits to Osgiliath.

Chocolate mousse to the Tower of Ecthelion to Egypt.

Finwe 05-26-2003 08:06 PM

Chocolate mousse is very sweet. Fruits are also very sweet. Fruits grow on trees. A White Tree grew in the vicinity of the Tower of Ecthelion. The Tower of Ecthelion is very high. The Pyramids at Giza are very high. The Pyramids of Giza are in Egypt.

Whew!

A Kiss : Denethor : Batmobile

Meela 05-26-2003 08:12 PM

A kiss = what I want to give to Denethor. Denethor = pyro-suicidal. Pyro = hot. Tyres of Batmobile also very hot.

the guy who be short 05-27-2003 05:23 AM

you forgot to do a new one

Meela 05-27-2003 05:27 AM

gah...

um...

Liv Tyler to tyres to hamster bedding.

the guy who be short 05-27-2003 06:29 AM

Liv Tyler stole Glorfindel's horse, horses are now replaced with cars, cars have tyres, tyres are black, some parts of hamster's are black, hamsters sleep in hamster bedding.

DNA to Legolas to WWF without saying legolas has DNA

[ May 27, 2003: Message edited by: the guy who be short ]

Maegaladiel 05-27-2003 12:31 PM

You guys are NUTS!!! But that's why I like you.

Okay, DNA to Legolas to WWF. WITHOUT saying that Legolas has DNA.

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. (Whew) Acid turns litmus paper pink. The sky can be pink at dawn. The sun can be red at dawn. Legolas comments that "the red sun rises. Blood has been shed this night." 'Night' sounds like 'knight'. Knights ride horses in shining armor. Armor-all is an auto product. Products are made by men. Men fight in the WWF!!! Was that round-about or what??

Arafangwen 05-27-2003 05:25 PM

WoW! I'm gone six days and you're already on to three topic riddles! Great job!

Spam to Glorfindel to the Statue of Liberty

Spam is a kind of meat, people eat meat, males especialy like to eat meat, Glorfindel was a male. Arwen stole Glorfindels part in LOTR, when she was on Asfaloth after crossing the river, she raised her arm with her sword in hand, the Statue of Liberty is also raising her arm(but with a torch in hers)!
