101 Things Barrow-Downers Would Never Post - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 06-11-2004, 10:28 AM

The Chief Wight - I'm opening a new public forum entirely devoted to Pokémon.

Sharkû - A, la belle Français. C'est une langue magnifique!

Mister Underhill - Serious discussion alone is valid. Your laughter insults us all.

Thenamir - Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Heren Istarion - I skip the poems. Poetry is dull.

Legolas - Who cares what it says in the books? Opinion is paramount

The Saucepan Man - Cryptic crosswords are silly. I don't understand what the point is in them.

Lush - Every square millimetre of exposed flesh is a crime, and Russian literature is dull, dull, dull

Bêthberry - There's no value in applying critical theory to Tolkien's works: alone in world literature, they transcend analysis.

Child of the Seventh Age - The eighties were the best time to be a Tolkien fan. It's all been downhill since then

Estelyn - Roleplaying is a serious business. Parodying it is counter-productive.

Kuruharan - My least favourite character of all is Chrysophylax Dives: a poor effort

Rimbaud - Symbolism was the most sterile and uninteresting movement in the history of poetry.

lindil - The 1977 Silmarillion is an entirely flawless synthesis of Tolkien's pre-Third-Age writings. I can't think of a single improvement that could be made apart from making it into an all-action blockbuster movie.

Diamond 18 - Self-test quizzes? What are those?

Well, that's all we have time for here at the Amon Rûdh Parody Scriptorium. You may now poke fun amongst yourselves.

burrahobbit - I agree.

Squatter of Amon Rûdh - The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth is barely worthy of mention, let alone lengthy analysis.

Lush - Lewis's compassionate portrayal of women was without a doubt a major catalyst in the feminist movement.

Estelyn Telcontar - No, you are absolutely wrong. That is the most ridiculous notion I have ever heard. You, my friend, are a simp.

Fordim Hedgethistle: I am a useless Barrowdowner, yes I am. I have done nothing great in the forum. I guess BW would have to terminate my membership.

Well, you missed the point but only on a temporal plane. Some dozen years ago I was skipping poems in any kind of text, for I did think poetry to be dull and unnecessary interruption ruining the flow of the narrative

But them to say people can't change are wrong, wrong, wrong.

Not to let it stray from the topic:

Balin999 (a.k.a. Sauron666): I don't think I'll ever grow tired of discussing all things Tolkien all over again. My posting average will soon reach 20 a day, too!

Eowyn Skywalker: I've decided to calm down, people...

Eowyn Skywalker · 06-13-2004, 10:34 PM

ARE YOU IMPLYING SOMETHING?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh... umm... heh heh... la la la... maybe I AM a BIT well... ummm... not quite calm all the time... heheh... *screams*
The Perky Ent: *blinks* Quizzes are boring. So is RPing. So therefore I have desided to stop posting there... IT'S E-BAY FOR ME NOW!!!!

Maeggaladiel: The mods are going to kill me but who cares? I mean, I ONLY killed every elf on the board anyhow... why would they be mad?

Eowyn Skywalker: I've desided to actually calm down.

And, you know, I still don't want to calm down, since it seems that people have actually noted my flusteredness... giggle.
