Samwise perhaps?

Hehe. Too obvious, Gil. ;)

It's another Warg scholar, a very prominent one.

I'll hazard a guess...Formendacil? It looks like something he would say, at any rate.

It was indeed Formendacil; and what a theory that post posited!

Your go, Lhuna. :)

Oh, goody. My turn. :)

Have at it!

It was Thinlomien in the Barrowdown pic thread. She was talking about JennyHallu in Jenny's desire to be Human not Hobbit. :D

Yes, yes, and yes. Good job, morm; it's yours. :)

Thanks Lhuna.

That looks like narfforc's style to me.

perhaps even Morsul the Dark

narfforc is the credited response. Well done SpM. In fact this was nafforc's first ever post on the Downs. He started a thread with it.

Ta morm. :)

Next up, a D-lightful quote:

The first thing that popped into my head was davem but that's about as wild as a guess can get. :D

Saucy, that sounds like it could be Squatter - I remember a thread with that post, but don't know offhand where to locate it...

I remember! Liriodendron in the alliterative verse thread.... That was a few years ago.

Here...

The search function didn't work on this until I remembered her name.

Well done, Child! That's the one. :)

That was a fun thread. :D

You're up next.

Sauce,

Am I permitted to pass the gauntlet to you? I will be flying out on Sunday for about a week on family business. I will have some computer access, but have sworn to keep posting in a Rohan game that Durelin and I are running, and I'm not sure how much more than that I can do.

Rather than letting this thread sit dead in the water, could you "pinch hit" for me? (Unlike you football folk, I am an avid baseball fan. :) )

Child

Well, if you insist ...

Here's another one from the vaults.

This is somewhat of a guess as I cannot find it at all but Bethberry? It sounds like something she would say.

Or perhaps El Empi?

Nope. Neither, I'm afraid.

The thread concerned is a rather infamous one in Downs history. :D

Mister Underhill in the 'Canonicity' thread here.

Thanks for the hint.

Correct!

Take it away, morm. :)

Thanks. I'll throw out a fairly easy one.

Gosh, so glad to hear that it wasn't one of mine. For the life of me I couldn't remember ever saying it, but you know what it's like once your posts top 1500. ;)

I would have said davem and not Mister Underhill, though.

alatar on one of the sequence by sequence posts?

The first post as a matter of fact.

Off you go now beth and don't forget to take the thread with you.

Threading through history
 

Okay, here's a history lesson for you more recent members of the Downs.

Surely Hobbit Sex Ed by Marileangorifurnimaluim?

One of the finest
 

Indeed, none other! Take it away but don't squirrel it away, Anguirel.

Here you go...

Anybody has the interest in waking this thread up? (don't look at me)

This has indeed been lying dormant all this time.

Anguirel, you quote Mithalwen, in a thread about Saruman and his goodness.

Yeah. Sorry, rather forgot about this too...yours Eomer.

Eomer?

Goodness! I remember answering that, but I didn't see Ang's reply. I'll offer a new quotation soon.

EDIT: Try this:

Glacial

Work out where you'd find such a quotation. ;-)

Goodness, Eomer, way to go killing the thread. :p

This is as crazy a guess as any, but the single word quotation irresistibly brings burrahobbit to mind.

(Mind you, I'm doing this just to give the thread the good ol' CPR.)

Over a year, eh? :D

Wrong Lhuna, though good guess. It comes from one of those 'so-and-so in one word' threads.

Nah, just more than 7 months. :D

Ah. I should have known. All right, someone with time to spare, hop to it! :p

Oh aye, not a year. Date should come before the month. :p

Lalwendë in the thread 'The Silmarillion in one word.' :)
