Um, I think I'd better take it.

The High Ruler and delicious uncooked iguanas live in harmony-in the woods, in the trees, lovely empty gorgeous olive l'Asteure-Solaire groves.

Yes. No clue this time, as its probably obvious

Whoopsie, I don't know how I could have missed the N....Oh well, Legolas, at any rate was properly inserted by me, and very quickly guessed by you, so it's your turn now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's okay, I figured out what you meant!
Here's the new one:

"A favor" Eli begged. Anything, old friend!" the king replied. "Knighting Alen?" the man asked. The king appeared deep in thought. "Hmmm, Eli...and Alen is your son? Eli began to laugh. "I, King Isaac, am lost. You misunderstand. Alen is my father! My son is named Michael." The king laughed too. "Michael? We shall knight him as well! Bring them tomorrow!"

There are five. All are closely related. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Ea?

Elwe?

Hmm. Good one, Arestevana. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I think that I have found them all:

Thingol
Nightingale
Melian
Camlost
Elwe

Correct! You found them all! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There are thirteen words to find, all very closely related. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

«««This year, I travelled to South America with a group of friends in order to explore the Orinoco river. The desire to see the world had come upon me like a timebomb, urging me to pastures new.

Charting first the north Orinoco, my companions and I travelled in two boats called the Red Orinoco and the Green Orinoco. Then, after three days' journey down the river, we set out on foot. Our guide and friend, Wali, naturally knew the way. So, taking my trusty staff, I lifted my pack onto my back and followed the group into the depths of the rainforest. And, as we continued our trek, I listened out for the sounds of the abundant wildlife about me.

Some time later, we came to a village where the locals, wearing loincloths, welcomed us with great warmth. Finding it to our liking, we stayed there for a number of days. And what a different lifestyle we enjoyed there, being used as we were to the hubub of urban living. Indeed, I would quite happily have set up home there amongst tree and shrub, if urgent business in Caracas had not drawn me away.

I am going to Bali next year. »»»

I think that was perfectly charming, oh Saucepan Man! Of course it is the 13 Dwarves from the Hobbit,
Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Oin, Gloin, Nori, Ori, Dori, and of course, the great Thorin Oakenshield himself.

I have a question, was Oin to be found within Gloin? I haven't spotted him anywhere else... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

[ June 11, 2003: Message edited by: LePetitChoux ]

Monsieur le Saucepan?
Have you forgotten this thread?

Sorry Madame Le Petit Choux. Been away for a few days. You are, of course, correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And Oin was to be found along with Balin in the final sentence:

I am going to Bali next year.

Ah, of course! how could I have been so stupid?

I can't really think of one right now... If it wouldn't be too much trouble could you maybe take it, Mr. Saucepan? Or someone else?
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ June 17, 2003: Message edited by: LePetitChoux ]

Well, I have set a fair number of the last few, so this thread is open to anyone who wants to concoct a suitable poser. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Let's see if this is tricky enough to last at least 1/2 an hour.

Captain Flatbeard was ordering hair cuts for his dastardly pirate crew. “Doug, I’m liking you with a Mohawk. Mullets for Pippi Nonstocking, Fast Rider Sam, Greg and Alf and Tom. Err, you, Lyle, go last and get an afro. Dob, or O Mirabelle no haircut you don’t need one”

There are nine closely related words.
READY...SETTY...GO!

All nine of the Fellowship. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well done Eruanna. At least it stood for a day. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok, let's hope I can make a better go of this than my last attempt at creating a "Words in Words" [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

There are five words in words.

Could the words be related? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Vanya, Avari, Noldor, Teleri and Eldar, Elven races all. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I do like these multiple words in words. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Yup...that's the lot [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you, Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

There are thirteen words in words, all related. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have looked at this a LOT and I am beginning to crack. PLEASE could I have a clue? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Ugh. I found eight.

good body= Goodbody

chubb=Chubb

headstrong=Headstrong

ret *ro. Per* sonally=Roper (Andy the?)

took= Took

*bag. "Gins*eng", =Baggins

*brandy". Buck*ing =Brandybuck

sym*bol. Ger*iatrics =Bolger

Right now my brain hurts.... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Wait, found another.....

mo *b of fin* e = Boffin

*Brain still hurts, though......*
[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[ June 23, 2003: Message edited by: Samwise ]

I also found:

Scott on his meagre salary.

custard bun, cereal
go, old and young.

Well done, Samwise and Eruanna. Those twelve are all correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I think the connection is pretty clear by now. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

There is still one more to find. Winner takes all. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I think I've found the other one:

"burning rubber"

I think it's only fair that Samwise gets it though...she found more of the words, and I wouldn't have known what to look for if she hadn't done all of the work.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's the one Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*In Jordie accent* Samwise or Eruanna. Who goes? You decide! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Way eye, hinny. It's Samwise's torn next like. Ah divvent hae won reddy enyhoo. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Thank you kindly. I shall think of a paragraph asap. Though certainly it won't be as confusin' as one of Mr. Saucepans'. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Okay, here goes. Sadly, bein' the simple minded Hobbit that I am, It won't be as witty as Mr. Saucepans' work, if you understand me, but....
There're 10 words in here, taken from FOTR or TTT (that I can think of). A couple of them appear twice.

Ellie Rose was very concerned about her bills. She recieved countless phone calls about them. The phone rang and rang.
Finally she was so stressed by it she started talking funny. "Me 'arrass no more! " she shouted in her mind, groaning to herself. "Man, where will I ever get the money? My savings has been dwarfed ! "
Then one day, a stranger came from nowhere, it seemed, and gave her all of the money she needed !
"Thank you!" she said over and over again. "Who are you? "
"Theo Redman is my name." said the stranger as he disappeared into the shadow. "Fax me or call me when you're ready to pay me back. There's no hurry. "
Mark my word, Ellie Rose paid Theo back as soon as she could!

Ack. Well, there it is. 10 words, two of them appear twice... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Mearas ("Me ´arass!")
Shadowfax ("Shadow "Fax")
Theodred ("Theo Red(man)")
Dwarf ("Dwarfed")
Mark ("´Mark´ my words")
Rohan ("she groaned")––––––––––>That´s·six.

I've found some too.

Ellie rose x2
groaning -the type of horse
man -pertaining to Aragorn
Theo Redman

Rohan ("she groaned")––––––––––>That´s·six

? Sorry, that's not one of them. "Roan" dosen't count, either.

Theodred ("Theo Red(man)")

This is not one of them, either.

"groaning to herself. Man where will I ever get the money? My savings have been Dwarfed"

From Eomer's speech to Aragorn and company:What business do an Elf a Man and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark?

Still looking [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna's are correct.

Whoop. Realized I wasn't looking for eros either.....though there's something else in there I'm looking for that's close.
[EDIT]
Oop--never mind, Silmarien already got eored.
So, so far you've all found:
[list][*]Elf[*]Man[*]Dwarf[*]eored
and

• Rose x2
• Meara
• Shadowfax
  and
• Mark

There is another that appears twice, and another that you folks haven't gotten yet. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ June 25, 2003: Message edited by: Samwise ]

I've found orc once (...or call...).

How about Ellie Rose x2, does that count?

*orc*--Whoa! Didn't even know that one was in there! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Actually, Eruanna, that's not one of the ones I was looking for either. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] One is in plain sight, hint: he was a member of the Fellowship. The other is not quite in as plain sight, but it was the chosen occupation
of one of the other members of the Fellowship. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I think found the occupation (King):
And I think I found the other one...Is it ranger? It appears twice:
