Hehehe...
 

I don't know, but "Baggins" is not part of the answer.

Try to stump me, would you?
 

No such luck! :p

Danish brick = Lego :D
note = La
direction = S (South)

The whole being Legolas. :cool:

Do I sense the urge to do something violent?
 

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Not again! This can't be! Why! Why! Why! *bonks head on a rock*

Adam, a random alter-ego: Does that hurt? Cool! He's hurting himself!

Oh, and yes, that is the answer, Mr. Man...Bildûr...your legion of characters at I - PA. *continues bonking head on the said rock*

Bwa-ha-ha
 

Hey, Nilp - lay of that poor rock. :p :D

Hobbit studied subject at North American university gaining initial recognition where another failed.

:smokin: (gratuitous use of new smilie)

Revenge will be mine!!!
 

Laying off...

Elfstan Fairbairn? How about a hint?

And don't give me this!

Oops! Forgot this one
 

No, it's not Elfstan Fairbarn.

And no hints until we've had a few more guesses.

It's quite simply, really ...

Peter Jackson?

No, it's from Tolkien's works
 

:D

I need a hint!
 

Pansy Baggins?

Somehow, I find that quite amusing.

Yeah, me too. But I think that's not the answer.

Andwise Roper?

Nope.

You know folks, it's really not that difficult. But here's a hint anyway - the cryptic clues are as follows:

Hobbit
studied subject
North American
university
initial recognition

Put these together and you should get the answer, for which the straight clue is:

where another failed

Capiche? :D

Sammath Naur.

Sorry - I kept thinking that Hobbit was the straight clue.

- - - - - - - - - -

I'm pretty sure that's right, so to keep the game going I'll post a new one:

Father of friend, note, made noise and stole.

You should wait for confirmation, all the same. :rolleyes:

Is the answer Paladin, father of Pippin Took (friend=pal, note=a, noise=din)?

"Roll eyes" right back at you
 

Next one
 

Where did everybody go?
 

Anyone?

*A tumbleweed blows across the empty thread*

:rolleyes:

How about a hint...
 

And no

The hint is in the question! :p

Dior?

Nope, not Dior.

And I expect an explanation with the answer. :p

He's good...
 

Circumventing the hint-giving process by pointing out that the hint is in the question. How about a hint not in the question? :p

Mim?

(Eminem -e-n-e)

See, no hints needed! :p

Well done, Celegorm. That's the answer I was looking for. Please proceed. :)

wow, I got one...
 

... and with my bad english... :rolleyes:

Anyway, so this is easy:

alcoholic precious in ruling position

It isn't King is it?

Brandybuck?
 

alcoholic - Brandy
precious - buck
in ruling position - the Brandybucks are masters of Buckland.

Nope, both wrong... a little hint: king isn't the word, but part of the clue.

A perfectly silly answer...
 

"alcoholic precious" reminds me of the time Gollum and I got a little drunk...*sighs*...memories...

Anyway, is it the One Ring?

No.

:D And I thought, this would be easy for you and S-Men.

It makes me think of Holdwine, a nickname for Merry, which actually meant good friend, but had other obvious implications as well. As for ruling position, he did receive this nickname from the King of Rohan, and Merry was also the Master of Buckland for sometime. Anyway, Happy Birthday!

No, not exactly what I was looking for....

Oooh! Is it The Kinslaying? 'shiny' and 'ale' (cheating slightly with the h and e) are inside 'king'. Not sure about the 't', but...?

No, not the Kinslaying. You are thinking much too complex...

Lindolirian was close, but as I said, not exactly what I was looking for.

Is it Master of Buckland?

Goldwine?
a king of the Rohirrim the ring was gold and wine is alcoholic

Yes, Silmarien got it.

It's Goldwine.
Gold ~ precious
wine ~ alcoholic
and as a king, he is in a ruling position.

Please go on, Silmarien. :)

Oh my goodness I can hardly believe I got one. Anyway here goes
Group of musical underwear invents a popular sport

Bandobras Took?

And here was little me thinking I could trick wizz quizzers *sigh*, well done Knight.
Pray continue thou hath guessed right. :)

"Invents a popular sport" kinda gave it away...

Alright...

Constellation without superpower sends instant message to shortened river plus m-less subject in the woods.

Isengrim Took?
