Yet another quote that wasn't

Posts: 787</TD><TD></TD></TR></TABLE> This could be a possible quote from Middle-Earth, but from a writing other than Hobbit/LOTR/Silm. Actually, it is from what you call a non-canonical source. <blockquote>Quote:<hr> 'You claim lineage from a deity, but no less can I! For my forefathers on my homeland were Stallion and Horse, descendants of their highest deity!'<hr></blockquote> </p> |

(no, I'm not advertising my little story via this q.) A little hint might be what is needed: 'Horse and Stallion' are of course the main hints here. However, these cannot be found anywhere in Middle-Earth... </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000003>Sharku</A> at: 3/31/01 2:51:34 pm |

I'll post a new one later; for now I give the answer: I thought it to be Aelfwine to Elrond (or one of his kin). Why? Elrond, for example, can claim lineage from Melian, an Ainu. Aelfwine on the other hand hints on the Anglo-Saxon mythology that their forefathers which landed on Britain were Hengist and Horsa, Horse and Stallion in modern English. These two brother-kings were said to be direct descendants (grand-grand-children IIRC) of Wotan (that is also why Aelfwine would say 'their' and not 'our' or 'my' highest deity). </p> |

Since Sharku is showing no interest (as yet [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]), I'll go on with the thing. Easy one to follow:
Quote:

I don't understand how this game works

The thing is, the quote given here is not textually backed up nowhere. It simply does not exist, yet it might have been uttered by someone (given the circumstances). sample:
Quote:
Quote:
A) Uncle Andy have been having dealings with ropes B) He was doing some (assumption driven from stressing on "even" and "ever") tricks with them, though these never included walking over streams the quote might have been uttered by Sam then and there see? |
Whoa, mind bending. I understand now.

Than back to the question posed: Quote:
|
Total shot in the dark. Gandalf to Frodo about Barliman?
|
Here is the man (dwarf?) who evidently mastered the principle
give me 5 http://www.plaudersmilies.de/coolman.gif Well, you are hot on the tracks - the beer in question is Barliman's alright, but that was not Gandalf I had in mind. Back it up with RoTK evidence, you must figure it out [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Maybe I should shoot in the dark more often. Seems I got fairly close.
Would that be Sam continuing the quote of Aragorn: "But his beer is always good" ? [ October 17, 2002: Message edited by: Dwarin Thunderhammer ] |
the quote you give is a start out. working backwards, you get Aragorn whom Sam is quoting. The speculation that Aragorn prefers porter is inessential. Well, you hit so close I count the thing as guessed out [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
proceed [ October 17, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ] |
Dwarin?
|
Well, the thread dies out again, and since I don't want it to, I'll take up a banner here (since Dwarin is neglecting his duties [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] anyways):
Quote:
|
Gandalf might have said it to Elrond regarding letting Merry and Pippin join the Fellowship.
|
quite correct. Go on
and welcome [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
The next quote that wasn't is:
Now what on Earth are they? |
Gimli or any of the Rohirrim about Guorns?
|
No... not quite! (but close!)
|
than maybe Treebeard about Merry and Pippin?
|
Yep!
Go ahead! |
Quote:
|
Oooh... this ones harder!
|
Sorry, still can't think where it might fit. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
How about a clue? |
Bilbo talking about Sting, in the Hobbit?
Boy, that one sure IS HARD!! |
Nice to see new faces in this dusty game thread [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
yes, Galadel Vinorel, that's verily Bilbo talking to Sting. Go ahead |
I can't believe that I got that right!! YEAH!! I never get these things right!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Quote:
Who said this? Have fun guessing, my fellow Downers!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Galadel- that sounds like something out of a children's story.
Am I close? |
No. This is from LOTR, Imrahil.
Any other guesses? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] |
Gandalf to Pippin in Minas Tirith?
|
Close, but, no.
Guess, again, my fellow Downer!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Pippin to Merry at the Prancing Pony when Merry decides to take a walk.
|
Darn! Hobbitlass got to it before me!
My guess to [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] |
you are very nice hobbits/elves/dwarves, and I'm awfully sorry to do the thing I'm going to do, but since the previously given quote was "real" existing one, I have no other choice:
<marquee><font color="FF0013">READ THE RULES FIRST!!!READ THE RULES FIRST!!!READ THE RULES FIRST!!READ THE RULES FIRST!!!</marquee> and now I offer to your attention the rules: The quote given here is not textually backed up nowhere. It simply does not exist, yet it might have been uttered by someone (given the circumstances). sample: Quote:
Quote:
A) Uncle Andy have been having dealings with ropes B) He was doing some (assumption driven from stressing on "even" and "ever") tricks with them, though these never included walking over streams the quote might have been uttered by Sam then and there see? The quotes to be posed in this thread are made up, but logically connected with what is in Tolkien's books now pray proceed respectfully |
Hobbitlass, your CORRECT! Your turn!!
Sorry, Heren, I didn't see that. **Galadel blushes tremendously and walks out of the qoutes board with her head down and she is sighing** |
