I hope this is a joke... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-22-2004, 04:54 PM

I cannot understand why you would be ticked at it. I just do not fully understand some people. What is there left to discuss about this? Why is this thread still open?

Barrow-wight, end this madness. I beg you.

but some jokes shouldn't go that far. especially # 13 on the site. way out of line

Oh come on, the whole thing is filled with stuff like that.

I have to agree with Eomer on why the thread is still open, it's good for the link to the site but hasn't been worth a lot more lately...

I third that, this particular list has been discussed at least 3 times in my memory, if not more!

Enough is enough, people!

Alternatively, a few friends and I have been speculating whether the BW was a member of the PPC Board.

Is this true, BW? there's quite a few of us 'Downies...more specifically, Mirthies...there.

A parody -- yes that's agreed I don't think there' alot to be fired up about if you look at the web address: www.pointlesswasteoftime.com -- of course it would be a different case if it wasn't a joke but sometimes you guys HAVE to lighten up.

Morgul Queen · 07-31-2004, 04:21 PM

Yes, well, this place has been far too serious since M-e Mayhem was changed to mirth and we lost the guestbook. Some friends and I were discussing it a while back.

I have just seen this website and am filled with an odd mixture of rage, disgust and annoyance that has been left to cool for 5 minutes and put in the freezer, now I've composed myself and feel inclined to write about it, I know it's just a parody but it really annoyed me, I have a good sense of humour but this is just ridiculous.

Elessar Telcontar · 09-29-2004, 05:52 AM

Sorry to be overtly graphic but this is the sort of site that makes me want to violently spew my intestines.
Unfortunately I do believe that some people do not have the intellectual/ emotional capacity to understand a story so deep and moving as LotR and thus have to resort to what is effectively childish name calling...

This really does anger me to extreme levels

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 09-29-2004, 08:06 AM

I don't mean to offend but some people either have no skills of inference or just have not read this thread. I renew my call to close this thread because I think it is just getting silly.

If anyone does not understand what I'm saying or is in any way offended by my remarks then please, I urge you to go back and look at the site, read the entire thread and seriously think about it.

Encaitare · 09-29-2004, 03:44 PM

Come on, guys, lighten up! You may not find it funny but it's not meant to be taken seriously.

And Eomer, I agree, this thread is going in circles, so I shall end now.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 09-30-2004, 04:38 AM

Indeed, we need a younger Bilbo. Ian Holm is getting too old for all those adventure and danger scenes. Stick a wig on him (and force him to drink lots and lots of ale for 6 months) and Vin could do it.

Gee, Eomer, for someone who claims to want this thread closed, you certainly are doing a lot to keep it active! I suspect an ulterior motive--a morbid fascination with the unfortunate literalists, perhaps?
