What would YOU pick?
 
I thought of this while reading a thread in Books....
Sauron made a Ring of Power...what would you make?
Try to make it funny and original!

I, personally, would make a sweater of power because i'm always cold...could you imagine that? On the front "Sweater of Power" on the back "Don't touch"!

Raefindel 12-15-2002 07:03 PM

I would make wallpaper that would bring you sweet dreams of beautiful places... Hmmm... Ahhh...

Lindril Arvilya 12-15-2002 07:31 PM

The Twinkie of Doom. Honestly, they've got minds of their own, they're evil, and they're a good symbol of the "industrial revolution" that people commoly connect with Sauron, orcs, and Saruman.

the mortal elf 12-15-2002 07:59 PM

A nice ankle bracelet perhaps?

Or a mitten? (the doom of all free peoples of Middle Earth is...*drumroll please...a Mitten!) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nianna Telmnar 12-15-2002 08:45 PM

A bright yellow rubber duckie.

(this is not actually my idea. a good friend of mine is working on a short story, which is where i stole this from.)
One duck to rule them all
One duck to find them
One duck to bring them all
And in the darkness *QUACK*!
hehe...sorry, i'll stop now.

Morai 12-15-2002 08:54 PM

Hmm......
The One Tree
Controls the enviromentalists, and all their followers. So tall, it takes on many forms, Douglas Fir, Grand Fir, Redwood, Pine, never, never cut it down for a christmas tree.

One Tree to Rule Them All
One Tree to Bring Them All
And in it's branches bind them.
In the Forrests where Tree Huggers Lie.

Diamond18 12-15-2002 10:26 PM

The One Gel-Pen. What I write, comes true. Or I could make The One Typrwriter or The One Word Processor for speedier world domination.

"It was a dark and stormy night" *instant thunder crash*

"Every person who ever hit one of my cats with their car will be cursed for the rest of their lives, and cats will hiss at them and scratch them wherever they go" etc.

I wouldn't really do that, I guess, but when you talk about emulating the Dark Lord it puts me in an evil state of mind. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Let's try something nicer:

"The sun broke over the hill and lo, the grass was green and the waters ran blue and clear...which was rather odd because its December, but nevermind that...and all wars ceased and suddenly everyone felt a great and deep love for Jesus and an all encompassing love for mankind well up inside them, so that they felt compelled to do the utmost good wherever they went."

But of course the One Gel-Pen/Typewriter/Word Processor would automatically correct my grammar for me. And that's the best part.

Rose Cotton 12-16-2002 06:12 AM

The One Bandaid for the most intense boo boos only.

Or...

The One Mushroom! Of course the entire adventure would end when Bilbo found the one mushroom in Gollum's cave and would decide to eat it.

Or...

The One Anvil. Imagine Frodo trying to lug that all the way to Mt. Doom. I give anyone permision, if they want, to write a fanfiction about that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Adam Sernheim 12-16-2002 01:10 PM

I'll make the ring of powder.

Imagine this:

Sauron has just completed the ring and he tells those who operated the bellows:
- Ok you guys can blow.


HA HA HA HA

Manardariel 12-16-2002 01:38 PM

The one spagetti-strapped flower top. Imagine Sauron wearing that.

or

The one radio of power. It always plays what I want it to... and whatever happens in the songs comes true...

Meela 12-16-2002 02:22 PM

The one pringle- this was a friends idea

Mine would be the one lollipop of power- not exactly the best, but im eating one right now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

also, u can actually buy these sweets- jelly rings

id probably want one of those! ive tried wearing one for as long as possible.. i usually eat it after about 5 minutes

Meela 12-16-2002 02:23 PM

incidentally, this lollipop tastes like perfume... the one lollipop of power will not. otherwise it wouldnt be so tempting!

LePetitChoux 12-16-2002 02:52 PM

I can just imagine Boromir going,

So this is the blade that cut the one tree from Sauron's field...

Well I thought it was funny! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Meela 12-16-2002 02:59 PM

LOL!!! so can i [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 12-16-2002 06:14 PM

I think The One Thong or The One Pair of Underwear. That way, no one could really steal it...

The One Brain...I certainly don't have that... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Diamond18 12-16-2002 07:26 PM

Do you mean like the Girdle of Hippolyta, VanimaEdhel? Watch out for Hercules if you're going to try that... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Elven Mistress 12-16-2002 08:14 PM

My friend and I (while eating lunch) came up with "The One Lasaigna" Just because she was trying to eat perogie lasagnia and it was falling all over....yeah...

One Lasainga To rule them all
One Lasainga to find them
One Lasainga to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them!

How scary does that sound! lol...

ElentariGreenleaf 12-17-2002 07:59 AM

One tooth to hurt them all
One tooth to kill them.
One tooth to bring them all
And in the darkness bring them.
In the dentists where the shadows lie.

The one Sock
The one computer
The one boyfriend
The one key
The one necklace
The one bracelet
The one eye ,etc.

good idea at the time 12-17-2002 08:38 AM

These are all great. I think I've got one, however, that takes into account the truly evil nature of it's maker:

The One Impossible Stack of Pointless Beauracratic Paperwork!

Frodo: "I will fill out the paperwork of Mordor, though I do not know the way...and there is not enough coffee in all Middle Earth to keep me awake for it...and I can't spell very well...and why do they need to how much Bilbo's Great-Great-Great Aunt's Myna Bird weighed? Gandalf, what's Law B4969484995H?"

steve 12-18-2002 04:02 PM

The one clump of used kitty litter of power

MUAHAHAHA

Rina 12-18-2002 04:20 PM

While reading Return of the King, I noticed that Frodo and Sam's journey through Mordor was as angst-filled as the final exam week I was going through.
Perhaps the One Exam...but that actually sounds like a break after six exams!

VanimaEdhel 12-18-2002 05:49 PM

Actually, I just chose the thong because I wanted to see how people would react to the word "thong" in here...and because I like thongs. Although, you'd need to wash it now and then, I would imagine. Then anything could happen to it...

Morai 12-18-2002 06:28 PM

Personally I don't like thongs (I find them uncomfortable). Though it's funny to think of:
"...And all the washers and dryers fell to the power of the Thong....."

Elven Mistress 12-18-2002 06:30 PM

What about The One Glass Eye? I would like to see someone pop THAT one out...

I thought that was really funny, Vanima, lol....i could just imagine that...

Aragorn_The_King 12-18-2002 07:37 PM

The one voice

(Sauroman)??

Prisca Green 12-19-2002 01:18 PM

Hmmm...How about the One Ring Pop, just like the original, only tastier! Or maybe the One Mattress Tag: Frodo must return the mattress to Mount Doom and cast it into the fire so that no one can remove it's tag! Hehe. I think that already exists though, I mean, why can't you remove them? What will happen? If anyone is feeling brave enough, please remove your mattress tag and keep us posted on what evil things happen to you! Hehe. Ok, that's all I have for now! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nianna Telmnar 12-20-2002 09:04 AM

"RRRRIINNGG Pop! ....It's a lollypop, without a stick...
...a ring of power you can lick!
(hehehe, lol prisca!)

MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie 12-21-2002 03:49 AM

And what color would the one thong be? WOuld it be gold and then have writng pop up in red when you take it out of the washer/dryer? And would you be invisible if you put on the one thong? Well, just some thougts, but its a funny idea.

As for my idea, it would be the beer of power. But since I would drink it all, it would actually be the one recipe for the beer of power. And you need the exact one recipe to make it, no duplicates. The drunker you get, the more power you have. To become invisible, you have to chug a beer. To become uninvisible, you have to puke it out, or as I prefer, to use the bathroom.

dragoneyes 12-21-2002 03:59 AM

The one TV, everyone becomes slave to the TV's power. Imagine a couch potato Gollum!

VanimaEdhel 12-22-2002 04:40 PM

It would be leopard-print. And no: it wouldn't make you invisible, because then no one could see how good you looked in the thong!

It would make you...look 30 pounds lighter...oh wait, then I'd be 40 pounds underweight for my height. Scratch that: how about 5 pounds lighter.

Better idea: they make you look however you want, so you don't need to seduce people with your voice, you can do it with your looks. So you can be a complete moron and still rule!

Hmmm...that explains the draw some men seem to have to Britney Spears *gags*...she's harboring the One Thong...

Gorwingel 12-24-2002 12:53 AM

Love the Twinkie of Power idea, some others that I would consider would be the one Doughnut of power (but that looks too much like a ring) and of course for me, the one handbag of power, because a handbag looks normal and simple on the outside, but has so much hiding on the inside.

Alphaelin 12-24-2002 03:21 AM

Love the Thong idea, LOL!

I can only think of this:
"There was a hush, and all turned their eyes on Frodo. He was shaken by a sudden shame and fear; and he felt a great reluctance to reveal

The One Lintball!

hobbitlass 12-24-2002 05:16 AM

I'd have to go with the One Remote-control (for T.V.). Mine certainly has a mind of its own. But its powers are a bit different than the one ring. We don't disappear but it does, especially when we wants it. And wees gets desperate and throws cushions and slaver and rant and rave to finds it....my own...my love....my precious. We haves to find it 'cause we can't go and turn the T.V. knobs. It burns our fingers!
And others steal our precious....our remote...not to destroy, to use! And we hates them forever. So we waits till they sleep and we sneaks to them AND takes it back!

Arwen_Evenstar 12-24-2002 06:18 AM

Can I just write something in reference to VanimaEdhel's 'One underwear to rule them all'? A pair of underwear with a will of its own....it would have some pretty intense and painful ways of escaping...ouch [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] . And one lasagna? Two hobbits in the middle of a barren land with little to no food, apart from a lasagna...how long do you think that would last? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Helkahothion 12-24-2002 07:01 AM

hmm tough one (but quite original if I may say so.)
Ehm I think I would make an evil glass of beer. haha picture that.

One glass of beer to rule them all.

Hey what's that
This my friend is a glass of beer.
Nazgull comes in and steel's the beer.
And then the Darklord would be a fat guy from Allabama that drink's beer, beat's up his wife and goes bowling with his friends.

hmmm maybe it is maybe it issn't. To be or not to drink the evil beer. That's the question.

(Okay ill just f*ck off now)

Elven Mistress 12-24-2002 11:22 AM

Lol, Arwen, about the lasagnia: my friend said exactly the same thing:

Frodo and Sam get to mount doom (Mt. Brooke in our case <cough> it's a LONG story), and they're about to throw it in (starving and hungry) when all of a sudden Sam stares at Frodo.
"But Mr. Frodo!" Sam cries.
"No, Sam, I must do this!"
"But can't you just EAT it!"

Morai 12-24-2002 01:40 PM

Hmm....how about the one computer!
Here's a conversation between Frodo and Gollum about the One Computer in the year 2002:

"Please don't destroy me preciousssss. Our preciousss is our only form of comunication."

"No! I must throw it into the Office Window of Doom! It has a mind of it's own. Besides if you give me a large sum of money I'll buy you a Apple Computer instead. Everyone knows Windows Computers are evil tools of the Dark Lord Bill Gates."
