Your wish is granted, but the Middle-earth diet consists of purely tuna, and it took so much Tuna to build Tirion, everyone ended up starving.

I wish Aragorn would take a bath for once

Your wish is granted! Aragorn now takes a bath - on which, Bilbo sues Aragorn for infringing the copyright of his bath song. However, Aragorn puts pressure on the courtroom judges so that his request for a trial is denied. Bilbo in a fit of rage breaks into Aragorn's bath-chamber, and drowns him in soapy water while humming to the tune - Ho! For the warm bath at the End of Day(s)! Of course, his prediction is fulfilled.

I wish Gil-Galad would post after me. Yay! It happened.

EDIT: That way, everything works out quite well.

your wish is granted. though after Aragorn took a bath, his ratings fell and he lost the gondor Idol title, ironically Gimli was second place so he became the new King of Gondor and married Arwen and had 3 beauitful childeren, Immanuel, Joespeh and Supa Fly.

Your wish is granted. Although, Feanor thinks that Santa is a tyrant and so raises up an army ageist him and there are no more toys for the Children. Well done.

Your wish is granted. Tom releases his recording and it is played over loudspeakers that can be heard from Harad to the Grey Havens 24 hours a day. Unfortunately, the incessant ring-a-ding-dillos drive everyone within earshot to insanity, so the citizens of Middle-earth smash all copies of the recording and exile Tom to unknown lands in the East.

Whoosh! Your wish is granted! However, due to Dwarves being hoarders rather than spenders of cash, most of the rides are incredibly dangerous and or unfinished. Five Hobbits, three elves, seven and a half men and two goblins die on the first day.

Your wish is granted. Everyone's local shop got mysteriously crowded with Barrow-Down's items. Because they mysteriously appeared there, they were shot out. But they kept coming back. Eventually, the UN decided to shut the Barrow-Downs and all of the members decided to rebel and we ended up ruling the world, B-W being the Supreme ruler.

I wish that Gil and phantom weren't so arrogant. :p ;)

But they lose the ability to post, since they are afraid to hurt someones feelings. They both drop out of the thread and go to the monastery to spend the rest of their lives as monks...

Done. But he entrusted the letter to Pallando, who had returned from the East to drink ale in Bree. While drinking, he forgot all about the letter and brought it with him on his wanderings instead of delivering it. Frodo never received the letter, decided not to trust Strider and was eaten by Neekerbreekers while lost on the road to Rivendell.

Consider it done. Sam and Gollum become the best of friends and Frodo becomes their third wheel. Sam and Gollum decide to open a resturant and they name it 'Fat and Sneaky's', all they serve is taters and raw fish. Frodo, tired of being left out, burns down the resturant and is thrown in jail forced to share a cell with the Mouth of Sauron.

However, they take on a life of their own and begin telling you to rob banks and steal taters. In the end you decide to rip them from your face and you spend the rest of time wandering the seas with no eyebrows.

OFF TOPIC: Okay, I see the wish is granted! Tolkien says Arms instead of Brains - what does it mean? Balrogs did not have wings, they had arms! The case is finished!

Quote:

ON TOPIC: It now contains a limitless supply of food. However, the rules of the nature are not changed, so the weight of the limitless supply of food crushes Gandalf's head like eggshell and therefore Saruman dances in his grave.

I wish that Boromir was more vividly portrayed in the book.

ohtatyaro 10-11-2005 07:03 AM

Your wish is granted. Boromir is most vividly portrayed man in the book. But than, nobody seems to remember Frodo or the Ring or that old fellow, forgot the name, you know, one with the beard and always teaching others what to do, that fiery thing in that Moria place got him. How many others there were besides Boromir, you say? I mean, everyone will just quit reading after Boromir is dead, so nobody will know what happened next, but noone will give a penny to know that anyways...

I wish I had a pony named Bill

Hookbill the Goomba 10-11-2005 09:24 AM

Remember to quote the wish you are granting!!!!! :mad:

The "Arms" thing came from a joke running in my family. Zombies in modern films don't say "brains!" like they did on old ones, but just groan. Their groans sometimes sound like "arms!" :D

Anyway,

Your wish is granted. But due to Gandalf asking for your wish in writing, you accidentally write "Phoney" and so he gets confused and turns you into an old man called John, who just calls himself Bill.

Your wish is granted

But it turns out that the book is more interesting for movie-making then LoTR is- I mean, political strife, revolution, that kind of thing. Peter Jackson is not filming the trilogy, but goes for the New Shadow insted, which turns out to be ordinary conspiracy movie. No oscars, no renown. As a result, people like me are not turned to Tolkien and the Barrow-Downs remains small place. Since it is small, no such topic as this one is made, no one wishes that New Shadow was finished, so it is no finished, no one films it, Jackson films LoTR, the board swells, the topic is made, you wish for it, it is filmed, BD again is small.... a-a-a-a, Time Circle!

Going along with the 'time-circle' theme here ... your wish is granted, but than, Narsil is not broken, Sauron is beaten there and then and the Ring is melted by the heat of the lazer. End of story - no Lord of the Rings books (not to mention movies) - no BarrowDowns - no lightsabers - story is written again and so forth (same principle). Story in circle, closed upon itself again :)

Great, Frodo now has a helicopter! After volunteering at Elrond's council, he immediately makes use of it to fly up to the top of Mount Doom, drops the ring into the pit of fire, and then there's no story and therefore no Barrow-Downs and therefore this thread does not exist, and therefore there are too many therefores so that the subscription for this non-existent thread becomes immensely valuable to the eyes of crazy barrow-downers and collectors.

Your wish is granted! Problem is Oliphants are VERY big. Because Hobbits love their new pets so much, they always play with them and after a couple of days, the whole Shire is trashed by galloping Oliphants running after sticks while enthusiastic halflings shout "Fetch, fetch! Good boy! Here you are, ten barrels of apples..." So no more Shire!

Your wish is granted. Unfortunately, neither has more than vague idea what exactly 'rock band' actually is. Assuming it must be relatively numerous group of people throwing stones, they form one. Since they are strictly forbidden by the Thain to throw stones at hobbits, they come into habit of haunting highways to practice on passing dwarves and 'big folk'. As a result, Shire is renamed into Sherwood and its borders closed by royal decree #72 'about highway robbers in the North-West of our country'. Following decline in trade leads to splitting up of the Shire as a state. Hobbits are scattered, and 'far less numerous and prosperous' by the time of publication of The Hobbit

Planted and granted. But when he uncloaks, no one notices and so he gets upset and weeps endlessly till he falls into the sea and never helps Frodo and the Black Riders take the Ring!

Kazaam! I am the Genie of the Lamp and...what the heck, your wish is granted (two to go).
Only Witchking of Angmar and Khamul have any succesful careers though. Because nobody knows what the others names are, they're soon forgotten. The 7 forgotten ringwraiths decides that it would be better to gather the old crew again, but the two other doesn't find this very tempting. They're making big money on their own, so a bitter feud starts. It all ends with a devastating battle which ruins Minas Morgul and nobody's sorry for that. It was kind of a dump anyway...

POOF! Your wish is granted. Saruman has a complete makeover. Thus becoming far more beautiful then Legolas. In his jealous rage Legolas shoots Saruman with his arrows, reclaiming his title as prettiest in Middle-Earth. Unfortunately while he was trying to stop Saruman Aragorn took a bath and was crowned most beautiful.

Granted. Eowyn is killed in his place, thus allowing the Morgul Lord to survive and cause large amounts of damage on the battlefield and lead the orcs of Minas Morgul to victory. The Witch-King is slain when the ring is destroyed, however, since Eru took pity for the hobbits.
