O's introduced.

Gwaihir the Windlord 07-09-2003 11:18 PM

*sigh* hope you're still here, cos I haven't got it yet. Right, I'm going to ask for D, and i I don't get it after that, I'm going to leave it to someone else. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 07-09-2003 11:38 PM

I'm always here. =P

Quote:

And/then/-/co-ldn't/-h-n-/o-/an-/other/--e-tion/with/hi-/-itting/-e-ide/-e,
Well, you get three D's.

Gwaihir the Windlord 07-09-2003 11:51 PM

Sorry, this sounds pathetic but while I can now see all the words except the second last, I can't recognise a quote there at all. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'll leave it for someone else, I rather think.

Slight edit, I forgot a few I's. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

And then I couldn't think of any other question with him sitting beside me,
That sounds like Bilbo talking about the Riddle Game with Gollum, at the Council of Elrond I would guess.

Beren87 07-10-2003 03:09 PM

Well, you have the right person and what it was about, just the wrong place. But you more or less have it.

The Saucepan Man's turn.

The Saucepan Man 07-10-2003 05:22 PM

Thanks Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But I am curious. Where was it said? Is it from The Hobbit?

OK, next one up:

Guinevere 07-11-2003 02:13 AM

The last one was really hard!! I'd never have found it out. Bravo, Saucepan-Man!

Well, can I have a few E's , please?

Gwaihir the Windlord 07-11-2003 02:51 AM

Hmm, I thought you had to give the location of the quote etc when you got the right answer? I knew the words, just not where it was from [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]. Not fair at all. I couldn't find it... actually I too would be very interested in where in fact it came from, if you could let us know thanks =]

D please

gilraën 07-11-2003 10:57 AM

It's from the Hobbit, where Bilbo sneaks up on the Gandalf anf the Dwarves wearing the ring.

May I have an A please?

Well, yes, although it's more by convention than by the original rules of the game. And ultimately, it's within the discretion of the question setter whether to accept an answer or not. I just posted in the hope that the speaker and the subject matter would be sufficient. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Quote:

Of course it is! I hadn't looked there because I remembered that Bilbo didn't tell them about the Ring then. Welcome back, by the way, gilraën. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I hope that you had a good break, and didn't miss us all too much. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

But, to business:

Quote:

A--/ -e-a--e/ --/ a/ -a--/ --/ -----/! -/ -ad/ ----ed/ ----a-d/ --/ a/ -ea-/ ---d/ -ea-/ -------/: ---e-----/ ---/.
E, D, and A added.

Beren87 07-11-2003 11:02 PM

R, please.

And sorry about that, Saucepan Man gave enough correct info about things that I gave it to him, I should have posted where it was from though.

Thank you, yes I had a great time and I did miss you all [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

May I have an S please?

Eruanna 07-12-2003 03:18 PM

Any Ts?

gilraën 07-12-2003 05:48 PM

Found it when I realised it begun with 'all because of a', though it wasn't what I originally thought it was [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

'All because of a pack of crows! I had looked forward to a real good meal tonight: something hot.'
Said by Pippin to the Fellowship after the Crebain had passed.

Of course it is, but unfortunately, that episode of the book managed to totally slip my faulty memory.

The Saucepan Man 07-14-2003 07:47 AM

Wow! Gilraën's back - no more than 3 letters at the most needed. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You are of course correct, gilraën. Please continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

gilraën 07-15-2003 08:35 AM

Thanks Saucepan Man, I just got lucky [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Aragost 07-15-2003 10:26 AM

May I have an "E" please.

Beren87 07-15-2003 01:46 PM

And I think I could use a few R's.
