These three gentlemen all have something in common, and the first two contain clues to who they are.
The third is just plain WRONG, but I could not resist! <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b">

#1. HER GADFLY AGENT
#2. MUTINEER WASH HAT
#3. RAWBONED SHAG TART

Good luck unscrambling! <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

I don't know if Amandil is still around, but I want to solve these.

Now the answers two years later...

1) GANDALF THE GREY
2) SARUMAN THE WHITE
3) RADAGAST THE BROWN

According to the search engine, he hasn't posted since May 2001. So you can go ahead I guess. This sounds interesting.

Well, I hope he didn't leave because no one answered his anagrams.

ULTRA HIND (a person 1 word)

That'll be Legolas' dad ...

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

Yes! Do you think there is a group of house-wives out there that call themselves Thrandy-bobbers? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

So, Thranduil is to Julio as Legolas is to Enrique? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

RING OF SAD BOG
GAINS BIG BLOB

Easy ...

FRODO BAGGINS

BILBO BAGGINS

It wasn't too easy. I had to write it out on paper. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So did I to get the anagrams in the first place. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The floor is yours, alaklondewen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you.

AID NUN

GRAVE ERR IT

One will lead to the other. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

ANDUIN
GREAT RIVER. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Correct! You're up. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

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

GLUG RUAN

GROAND NORTH

Okay, I have the second one:

NARGOTHROND

I'm sure the first one is glaringly obvious, but can you humor me and tell me whether it is a place also?

[ April 02, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Nargothrond is correct!
The first one is not a place but is connected to the second. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ April 02, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

Would Glaurung be the first one?

Yes, that's right. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
As you were both right, Alaklondewen and Silmarien one of you should go next! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sorry Alaklondewen, I'm going to jump in.

This is two connected people in one.

MINE OF WAR AND RAY

Is it Eowyn and Faramir?

Yes, my favourite couple.

SNOW DROWBAR

THAT GORN DRY

Two names but the ends the same. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

the first one could certainly be BARROWDOWNS, but I have no idea about the second...

Barrow Downs is correct!

The second one is just as easy, it is also comprised of two words. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

TYRN GORTHAD! the barrowdowns translated... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] how silly of me to miss it!

Well Done!

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

not terribly tough, and again, they go together.

ROAD THIN GORM

DANG BAN

-Sophia

[ April 07, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

ROAD THIN GORM = Thangorodrim

DANG BAN = Angband

perfect!

I can't say don't laugh...I did when I wrote them... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

SEAL FLAB
UN MINI DOLL

BELFALAS

MINDOLLUIN

yes? *hopeful*

Excellent!

SAM OR IM LUNG

GHOUL TIN RIC

are these supposed to make sense? It is definately beyond my powers to make them into any sort of recognizable phrase [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That'll be MINAS MORGUL and CIRITH UNGOL.

Why so it is [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK - there's a theme, and they kind of make sense ...

WAR AGE HURT A MAN

and

GRIM MOLE

... my current favourite. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I think I've got them....

WAR AGE HURT A MAN = AGARWAEN UMARTH ( Agarwaen son of Umarth, one of Turin's aliases)

GRIM MOLE = MORMEGIL (The Black Sword, another of his names)

Stands back hopefully [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Yes, the ol' tragic hero himself, Turin Turamabar. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

So, Eruanna, the floor is yours ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ready for some more?

DIANNA ON DIRE EARTH
and
YE ATE FORMAL NATION

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

[ April 12, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

Yikes, Eruanna... seems we need more than luck [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. I just want to congratulate you... I can't get anywhere with these... they're hard!

Sophia

Sorry, I forgot about these....perhaps a hint is in order?

They are connected...the first one leads to the second.....you could say it was an Annus Horriblis (I hope I've got the spelling right!)
Oh, and the first is two words, the second is three. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
