Yes indeed, being "peeky" is a bad thing. We all know what happened to the legendary Peeping Tom.

Hmm.... I didn't know necrophilia existed among the Elves!

...and yet another variation on a popular homophone: I can just see the movie version: 'The Naked Ring'! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Amazement seizes me...

Not sure if this counts as a homophone (at least in most peoples' version of the English language), but in case you thought that Éowyn's bower was "a hutch to trammel some wild thing in", it seems you were sadly mistaken. It actually reads: That tremmelsome young Éowyn. She's probably the most tremmelsome of all the tremmelous characters in the whole tremlogy, I mean trilogy.

A little known fact about one of the Ainur - Morgoth was a baker!! It sounds like he specialized in gingerbread men, perhaps? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Perhaps there's only a comma missing to remind us to listen for an arrival? "Hear, I come!"
Oooh, special offers in Valinor? Or are the Valar buying something from M-E??

(Now, we don't mention names here, but I got a kick out of the fact that both of these typos came from authors who are involved in a serious writing project that started on the Downs... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

Robust greetings:

The perennial favourite makes yet another appearance ...

Gandalf exposed in Rohan!

Did you just call me Butt?

Doesn't sound as painful as rolling.

So where's the A of Sauron? Actually, Sauron doesn't have an I. S-A-U-R-O-N

I'm not touching the grammar in that one.

Hmm... how does one accomplish a foot? Was Aragorn leaping about or something? Did Gilraen want him to become Middle-earth's resident Leap-frog champion? :D

hear's one:Hear here! (slightly copied....but its still fresh off the vine)

Here's a new twist to one of our favorite homophones: Where I live, it's still too cold for sleeveless tops...

Two-in-one: I'm puzzled - grated cheese and petit fours don't go together very well...

Did it belong to the Tree of Good and Evil? And should we all become gardeners?

:)

Yet more misused homophones.......
 

For myself, I'd rather not have a dead tail.

Yes, but did you complete the entire fall?

Sam 'herd' a burst of 'horse' singing, blaring of horns, banging of gongs, a hideous clamour.

Yes, I think that hearing a herd of orcs singing like horses would be a hideous clamour!

All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have 'dyed' in battle and honour , you have 'leaves' to be burned in the house, for the men will 'knead' it no more.

strange role reversals: men dying their hair and making bread; women doing yard work, but doing it inside the house. ;)

Nautical but Nice
 

On how to choose between conflicting texts:Arrh... a Downer after me own heart. It was once said that the best ambassador is a Man O' War!

Hush! We're enjoying our breaded filet of dragon - at least, if they didn't lie about the eggs...

Gah!
 

Oh, jees, that one was me!! *Slaps forehead, bangs head against wall* Stupid! *BANG* Stupid! *BANG* Stupid! *BANG* Ow.

~Maeg and her dead tail

This one is tricky, admittedly... ...announcing the enunciation?!

... to compose a new post, no doubt. :D

Never go to the Undrying Lands with wet hair.

If it's all the same to you, I think I'll pass.

Yet another one.
 

No doubt with a nobleman peering over your shoulder and telling you that your computer time was up.

You mean he's making a mime version? :D

"Sir Ian Mc Kellen, would not say Macbeth due to the superstition that if it is spoken, in a theatre, while a production is being planned as it causes things to go wrong. The reason why they say their is a curse, is because it is believed, Shakespeare had a playright call Christopher Mallory killed, and took his writings and claimed them as his own, and Mallory knew of Shakespeares jealosy of him, when Mallory was stabbed,Mallory is suposed to have cursed any work that shakespeare claimed to be his, if it had not been."

I hope playright is enough to qualify butI thought it worth quoting in it's entirety for enlightenment on this mysterious episode in the history of English Literature....

Elusive allusion? Or an illusion? ;)

Well, I know that Hobbits like their food, but isn't that taking it too far ...

I always wondered how the elves of Rivendell and Lorien managed to cultivate enough food for the community in a ravine and a forest but I didn't realise they were practising cannibalism..

Here's one I just found over in Crazy Captions:

Well, I guess Gandalf does look kinda demented in that picture... :rolleyes:

Love ya, Ka. :D

Oh, pooh, Enca's gotten to it first...

NEW! Staff with brakes - enables wizards to slow down before hurting someone (or turning them into something unnatural... ;) ).

eek!
 

A quote that kept alluding to me would be on my hit list as well. :eek: I hope it wasn't saying anything nasty!

Mr Right meets Captain Obvious ...
 

... must be the ones looking for a soul mate.

"Debauchery's a funny thing (no, bare with me....."

Quite an offer from the most-stalked downer....... :p

I must thank Keeper of Dol Guldur for keeping this gem out of sight of the general public. It would have entirely changed the context of that part of the story, and certainly explained why the all the jaws in the room dropped upon my character's entrance!

And though he thankfully didn't post it, LMP discovered my last mistake:

Double take or double toss?

Pot? Kettle? Black?

Not quite a homophone, yet more than a typo: Hmmmm, a new version of the big "C" thread? ;)

Almost a homophone
 

"there is a barrowwright ...."

Well I guess someone had to make the barrows.... :p
