(Apparently it's a sport, but I've never heard of it. If anyone knows what it is...)

Edit: Thank you, Yavanna. I guess that means it's not a typo...oh well.

Pilates is a form of stretching and massage, somewhat like yoga. But I understand where you're coming from. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Interesting theory: if you don't have a good answer, remove your clothes and ask others to join you.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (Also, "layman's term" is not really a phrase you want to be caught misspelling, is it?)

I've read this page and the first 3, and it sure is entertaining!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Of course, the fact that it's 3 in the morning and I laugh at everything this late at night might be contributing to the fact that I'm almost falling off my chair from laughing so hard... but these are so funny!

Here's the title to a new topic in the Books:

possibly a merge of 'Has anyone heard of this new game' and... something else.

Either that or there's a space in the wrong place and a missing f. I had to read it a few times before I was completely sure it was mistake.

We always had our suspicions about Figwit and Aragorn, but this is honestly horrible!

dragoneyes 10-12-2003 12:03 PM

Are you sure that's a mistake? Yes, it's horrible, but I think it's what that meant to say... Perhaps it's better left as a typo though.

I've seen both 'Argon is my fave LotR character all the way!' and 'Aragorn is an element of atomic number 18.' Thought it was an odd coincidence [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ai Elbereth, I found another one.

No, silly. The person obviously was trying to ask where the first ever hobbit (sometimes called "hobbit one") came into being. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nimrothiel 11-13-2003 06:41 PM

Anyone notice that the name of one of the topics is spelled wrong? "Funny Pictures Contenued" should be "Funny Pictures Continued." I also saw someone spell toupe as "tupee." This gave me very nasty ideas, such as: "Tupee, or not tupee, that is the question," and various other bits of nastiness. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

(I can't do quotes, otherwise I would. I can't do accents over letters either. I appologize for the inconvenience. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )

This one cracked me up. It's from the topic "Gandalf's Plan."

*Gandalf and Sam look up and see nobodies left.*

Really? No bodies at all? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar 11-14-2003 07:41 AM

Saucy, I cracked up when I came across that one, but you beat me to it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Here's a beauty that's not quite a typo, but I do want to share it:
Quote:

Aragorn fell in love with Eowyn, and she loved him, but he was destined to be King, and she was destined to become Stewardess.
Would she have worked for Balrog Airlines? ("Try our wings - we'll get you to your destination without the shadow of a doubt!")

*But in any case, I just shout "You Foolofa Took!" at them.*

My question is, who's Foolofa Took? I don't recall reading about that character in any of the books. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Everdawn 11-19-2003 09:57 PM

The name of a topic:

charcater splicing!
Does this have something to do with crossbreeding LotR characters with cats? It could indeed be interesting...

Something I accidentally typed once, but caught myself before posting it:

I must have been really hungry!

A typo in my TTT book:

Ha ha ha That be mine! But alas I think I need a spell check and something. I must admit this is not my first typo and the flue can't be blamed for that one.

Mentally or physically? I suppose going to Mordor and back will do that to you.

I saw that one, and I think that was what they meant to say, but who knows? It sure looked strange.
