UNTIL RIO

The plan was going so well…. Until Rio.

Blind Guardian 06-28-2021 01:49 AM

Put your ugly face out of sight or it will get hurt?

:D :eek: :confused: /there's no laugh cry emoji/

Complete guess here. If I'm right, imma throw something.

Morsul the Dark 06-28-2021 05:15 AM

Hold on. *ducks behind counter* ok go ahead and start throwing. You got it!

Guinevere 06-28-2021 08:31 AM

Argh, I'd never have found that one! (I thought the first word was "but" and that put me on a wrong track) Congrats, Blind Guardian!

Blind Guardian 06-29-2021 01:18 AM

Ah! Do you know how heavy some hard covered books are?

I kid. I put that together without use of the books and I would love to know who said it and when!

But without further ado!

"- -- --- ----- ----: ------, ----- --- --------- -- --- --- -----, --- --- ------ --- -----, --- ---- --."

Guinevere 06-29-2021 07:50 AM

Can I have A please

(Ah, I now found the previous quote: Sam said that to Bill Ferney when the company left Bree. And right afterwards he threw an apple at him!)

Morsul the Dark 06-29-2021 01:57 PM

Weird fact.

“I am the” appears twice in each LoTR Book and twice in Silmarillion. The Hobbit uses it five times ruining the symmetry.

Although none fit the first segment ending in a colon.

I’m convinced it starts “I am” though. So I’ll take a T to weed out the third word.

Blind Guardian 06-29-2021 04:14 PM

"- a- t-- ----- ----: ------, ----t a-- ----t---t -- a-- t-- -a-a-, --- -a- ------ --- -----, a-- -a-- -t."

Morsul the Dark 06-29-2021 05:04 PM

H or M….

M?

Blind Guardian 06-29-2021 05:59 PM

"- am t-- ----- ----: M-----, ----t a-- m---t---t -- a-- t-- -a-a-, --- -a- ------ --- -----, a-- ma-- -t."

MAT

Morsul the Dark 06-29-2021 08:07 PM

m---t---t

This word. This word is fascinating. “Tiest” almost has to be the last half but what’s the first to start with an M?

Ok.

“I am ten” is in the return of the king the kid that shows Pippin around. Obviously that doesn’t fit. “I am the” doesn’t seem to fit with any of the instances I can find.

Ok.

N I assume not every three letter a word is “and” so let’s break apart the segments.

Morsul the Dark 06-29-2021 09:45 PM

Valar. That double A. Valar. Unfinished Tales.

“I am the Elder King: Melkor, first and mightiest of all the Valar, who was before the world, and made it.“-Morgoth

Blind Guardian 06-29-2021 11:31 PM

Ding ding! Except I got it from "The Children of Hurin" book. So add this to your count of weird facts, cause I found a new one! :)

I used to have a Melkor quote in my signature but I changed it because I got bored of it. I'm a big Melkor fan ^_^

:D Found it!

"And where will they live? That's what I often wonder."

Sam's comment on Bilbo's suggestion that a good ending to his book should be "...and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after."

Morsul the Dark 07-03-2021 01:00 PM

Excellent! Well done

Guinevere 07-04-2021 01:35 PM

Thank you, Morsul! :) Here is the next one:

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

Morsul the Dark 07-04-2021 05:39 PM

That 3232 pattern at the beginning has me thinking poem or song.

But obviously I’ll need to get some letters.
