Now that would make a great 'Carry On' film. I can just see Sid James' portrayal of our ill-fated hero. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I see we're in the footsteps of Eärendil here.

Squatter - you have the right of it.

Carry on!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-11-2003 01:23 PM

Right you are.

The carters' nightmare:

A thin rut amid u

piosenniel 07-11-2003 04:12 PM

Eastern Beleriand

Taur-im-Duinath

The Forest Between Rivers

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-11-2003 04:23 PM

That's the place all right.

piosenniel 07-14-2003 10:48 AM

Traveling through?

Exchange the lira in Ecig Rd.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-14-2003 11:42 AM

I pity anyone whose journey takes them through Helcaraxë, the Grinding Ice

piosenniel 07-14-2003 01:19 PM

Carry on, m'lord Etceteron!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-14-2003 02:46 PM

Strapped for cash? Possessed of a negative untruth? Then auction off the 'no' lie

The Saucepan Man 07-14-2003 05:55 PM

It's the Elf whose helmet reaches the parts that no others can, the Gothmog slayer himself ...

... let's hear it for Ecthelion of the Fountain. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-15-2003 03:31 AM

You have the right of it, Saucepan.

The Saucepan Man 07-15-2003 05:41 PM

Why thank you, Squatter. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Embarassed at Aragorn's display of emotion at Halbarad's tidings, Gimli advises

Between takes on the set - Viggo/'Aragorn' was known as a ribald ham.

Beren87 07-22-2003 06:45 PM

How about that lovely, lively, river Bralda-Him, otherwise known as the Baraduin?

piosenniel 07-23-2003 12:07 AM

You have it!

Write on, Beren!

Beren87 07-24-2003 08:10 PM

All the other Dwarves made fun of little, laam Dalin, for his odd walk.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-27-2003 07:30 AM

I think that one's Malinalda. More familiarly Laurelin.

Beren87 07-27-2003 09:28 AM

Absolutely correct, Squatter. The thread is yours.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-27-2003 11:12 AM

Thanks, Beren.

In order to keep himself from being spotted, Gollum vainly kept himself v. astern of the Fellowship.

The Hither Shore: Nevrast.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 07-28-2003 03:17 PM

The very place. Your turn, piosenniel.

piosenniel 07-30-2003 09:13 PM

As Boromir floated down the River, his companions sang the dirge t' him.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 08-05-2003 05:43 AM

I think this one's Thrimidge, the fifth month of the Shire year.

piosenniel 08-06-2003 05:00 PM

Indeed, Squatter!

Your turn . . .

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 08-07-2003 07:32 AM

Grendel gives his job description: I lug Danes

Arestevana 08-07-2003 10:07 AM

That would be Esgalduin, correct?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 08-07-2003 12:29 PM

Absolutely, Arestevana. Your turn.

Arestevana 08-09-2003 04:51 PM

The other solution to the Sauron question:

Tricksey! No n to start the word!

Maedhros, though, is who it is . . . yes?!

Arestevana 08-10-2003 11:11 AM

Overheard at the Port of Harlond when the Umbrian tried to unload his cargo under the new tax laws:

Oo! What’s da southern fees forr?

Beren87 08-22-2003 01:25 PM

Stewards of the House of Arnor?

Envinyatar 08-22-2003 01:36 PM
