Tuor in Gondolin 05-28-2010 07:58 PM

Yess. We musst have some nice "s"ssses!

Inziladun 05-28-2010 09:38 PM

There is nothing in the feeling of weight in an idle toss-pot’s arms.

Said by the elf (the butler?) in charge of dispatching empty barrels from
Thranduil's pad back to Laketown (and tasting his best wine :) ).

Inziladun 05-29-2010 08:29 AM

Yes indeed, Tuor.

Tuor in Gondolin 05-29-2010 01:56 PM

Thanks, how about this one?

"If what I've seen turns out true, somebody's going to catch it hot!"

Sam, after seeing the wreck of the Shire in Galadriel's mirror.

Tuor in Gondolin 05-31-2010 11:49 AM

That's it. Now, was Ted Sandyman the White Ogre
or the Black Ogre? Guess I'll have to check HC's Biography.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 05-31-2010 12:30 PM

Thank you. Now, a thought for the day:

"-------- -- -- --- --- --- ------- -- -- --- ------ ---- -- ------- ---------."

Guinevere 05-31-2010 12:35 PM

A please

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 05-31-2010 01:41 PM

A

"-------- -- -- a-- a-- --- ------- -- a- a-- ------ --a- -- ------- ---------."

Guinevere 05-31-2010 02:10 PM

How about R?

Tuor in Gondolin 05-31-2010 03:23 PM

"e"s, please.

Inziladun 05-31-2010 03:43 PM

W?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 05-31-2010 05:04 PM

AREW. Hmm, is that another name for Araw? :)

"-er----- -- -- a-- are --e -e---e- -- a- ar- -ee-er --a- we ----e-- --r-e--e-."

Inziladun 06-01-2010 08:38 PM

What about H?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-01-2010 08:57 PM

We have a couple of those....

HAREW

"-er----- -- -- a-- are -he -e---e- -- a- ar- -ee-er -ha- we ----e-- --r-e--e-."

Tuor in Gondolin 06-02-2010 08:19 AM

"P's?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-02-2010 08:42 AM

Can do.

PHAREW

"Per----- -- -- a-- are -he -e---e- -- a- ar- -eeper -ha- we p---e-- --r-e--e-."


Something actually relevant to the thread, in a way. :)

Guinevere 06-02-2010 08:48 AM

T for me please!
edit: don't need it after all

Quote:

"Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves."
Gandalf to Pippin about the Palantir

and you are right about the relevance, Ibri. There are so many wise sayings in Tolkien's works that are applicable to one's life!

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-02-2010 09:50 AM

Quite right!
 
That's why I felt it might make a good "thought for the day." :)

The floor is yours, Guinevere.

Guinevere 06-03-2010 01:58 PM

Thank you, Ibri! :)

something that might be applicable as well:

"----/ ------/ ---/ --------/ ---/ ---/ ----/, ---/ ---------/ ----/ ----/ -----/ ----/ ----/, -----'-/ ----/."

Inziladun 06-03-2010 02:49 PM

Let's begin with the A's please.

Guinevere 06-03-2010 02:53 PM

A

"----/ ------/ ---/ --------/ a--/ ---/ ----/, a--/ ---------/ --a-/ ----/ -----/ ----/ ----/, -----'-/ -a--/."
