An amazing diplay of well, uh, just breaking things, I guess. :)

Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three,
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree

V

Well, this "v" comes in the midst of the quote - but it's one of the Gaffer's sayings and I like it:

'Maybe,' said Sam; 'but where there's life there's hope, as my Gaffer used to say; and need of "v"ittles, as he mostways used to add.

You idiotic fool!
Pippin admonishes himself before taking the Palantir.

Let's see who dares 'Z'.

The Perky Ent 02-21-2004 08:03 AM

Well, I'll take a stab at it!

The Saucepan Man 02-21-2004 09:49 PM

There's no J!!
 
So ...

J is for Just outside Moria, where the Fellowship tarried while trying to work out the way to get through the West-door, and encountered a Watcher of the "in the Water" variety.

... or Just outside just about any place that they visited. :rolleyes: :D

This may be a little streach, but...

K

The Saucepan Man 02-21-2004 10:00 PM

K ...
 
Gah! And I gave you a big hint for K too: Khazad-Dum. ;)

Arvedui III 02-21-2004 10:05 PM

D'oh! Well, I must plead that while I'm reading Helm's Deep, my thoughts are not exactly centered on Moria. But, yeah, Khazad-Dum is the more obvious choice. :rolleyes:

Thorongil 02-22-2004 02:19 AM

L kind of says itself, but I'll do it.
Lothlorien.:)

NightKnight 02-22-2004 06:41 AM

NightKnight 02-23-2004 09:51 AM

Noooo, we can't do that! There is that x-tra evil guy named Sauron. :D

Thorongil 02-23-2004 01:39 PM

Well since Sauron isn't a place, that wont work. :D
