My what an interesting thread, Fordim .

I will be hosting an informal sort of dinner party for mutual mental acrobatics, since I've been in Quiz Room heaven recently. The guests will be as follows (starting from the head and then back and forth across the table):

1. At the head of the table, Squatter of Amon Rudh . Yes, I'm giving up my place of honor at my own party, but I feel like Squatter is much better prepared to lead the fun and games.

2. On Squatter's right, Me . It is my party. I want to be near all the clever people.

3. Across the table from me, Estelyn Telcontar. The mind that invented REB certainly has a place at this gathering. Plus I suspect she's got a host of little known facts just waiting to be tested.

4. On my right, Feanor. That's right.

5. Across the table from the son of Miriel, Celebrimbor. We'll just have an epic matchup between the creators of the two most disruptive artifacts in ME history. It's like Celebrity Jeopardy.

6. On the right hand of Feanor, Nienna. Partly because I suspect she and Feanor are now well acquainted, partly because I hope she'll bring her yards of tapestry which we can use as a reference when we're too far from the bookshelf or the Encyclopedia of Arda

.

7. Across from Nienna, Alaklondewen. Not only has she stumped me a good time or two, she secretly misses the agony of staring at a blank screen trying to come up with an anagram.

8. At the right hand of Nienna, The Saucepan Man. I think Saucy wrote the book on all things cryptic. If he hasn't yet, he should.

9. Across from the good PanMan, Nilpaurion Felagund. A worthy addition to any party of this sort and as an added bonus, it's like getting two guests for the price of one.

10. Last but not least, the counterpart to the noble Squatter at the foot of the table, Bilbo Baggins. One can't have a riddle party without inviting the master himself, of course.

For the menu we'll be having sandwiches, of the kind that come wrapped in white paper. Once the sandwiches are unwrapped the paper will come in extremely handy for scratching down clues and unscrambling words. There will be something tasty in spillproof bottles for beverages, mine will be Diet Coke, but the drink of each guest's preference will be provided.

Cheers.
