Re: Latest trivia

I'd guess you'd see it all over the Southfarthing. But perhaps a more appropriate answer would be 'emblazoned on a cask of pipeweed'. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Re: Latest trivia

Unless I've really slipped, it was one of those many varieties of fireworks in the encyclopediac enumeration thereof in A Long-Expected Party. Probably from Erebor or Dale.

Re: Latest trivia

You are correct. Simple enough I thought someone might try too hard to find the answer <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)">

Re: Latest trivia

Of the three clans of Hobbits, which was arguably the predominant in the Shire social order?

Re: Latest trivia

The Harfoots were the most numerous but the Fallohides (the smallest group) were often the found in leading positions. The Stoors, latecomers to the Shire, were somewhere in the middle (but East and South geographically, mostly)

Re: Latest trivia

Certainly the Tooks were Fallohides, so the Thanes were, so I think your answer best. Weren't however the Masters of Brandy Hall chiefly of Stoorish blood?

Re: Latest trivia

Though many of the hobbits of Buckland and the Marish were of Stoorish blood, the leading families, including the Brandybucks were Fallohides )according to the Prologue of FotR).

burrahobbit is showing his age (or lack thereof). <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Robert Plant is none other than the lead singer of Led Zeppelin (a most excellent Tolkien loving, hard rocking band of the 70's)

Ohhhhhh yeah. I like them. (Not that I could name any songs.) I hardly ever learn the names of band members.

It is fairly straightforward. The answer is Celebrimbor. It is also one of the reasons why Galadriel received Nenya.

Nevermind ...I guess I'm still tired.

I thought you wrote Robert Plant IS the answer I was looking for .... sorry <img src=redface.gif ALT=":O">

I understood the Celebrimbor answer.

Ok. Here we go.

If I was a hobbit and I was going to go down to Rushock Bog to do a little fishing where would I most likely live? (Name the nearest town).

Assuming that Narsil is the" blade, the other was Angrist, the one with which Curufin prised out the Silmaril. (I only know this because last night I looked up who made Narsil ecause I was going to ask that as a question. I didn't ever ask, though, did I?)
