What colour is Legolas` hair? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

*Ah yes, Legolas' inferiority complex... he's pretty, yes, but can't bare to be in competition with other pretty things. Why do you think you never see him near Arwen?*

True, in point of fact he spent most of his time before the Council of Elrond sulking in his room and trying all sorts of beauty tricks to make himself look far better than her. Unfortunately for him, Merry and Pippin picked up on this and some of his beauty products were switched with some rather nasty substances. His mudpack for example...well, maybe I shouldn't go into detail on that one.

He only volunteered to get away from Arwen so he could be the prettiest and to make Merry and Pippin's deaths look like an accident. Obviously he later repented of the latter, but this is due to the fact that Hobbits are so cute and irresistable that even Elves cannot resist them. Note: That is the official version as recorded in Legolas' biography; however, it's rumored that he forced the Hobbits to replace all of the pilfered beauty products and treat him to a weekend at a fabulous spa. There are also rumors that somehow one of the mudbaths contents were switched with something most foul, and it was at this point that Legolas and Gimli departed to the Grey Havens to begin working on their ship to depart from Middle-Earth forever.

I was reading the Stupid Ring parody the other day (www.stupidring.com), and I couldn't help but notice this:

Quote:

He pulled his long white knife from his belt and, dismounting quietly, crept aside as a plump white rabbit hopped out of a nearby shrub. Moving too quickly for mortal eyes to catch, he whipped the knife back and forward. As it flashed through the air towards the coney, he thought he glimpsed a bit of gold.

(Leg: Gold?)

He trotted, satisfied, towards his catch. Grabbing the coney by the ears, he grasped the golden handle of the long knife and pulled it out, wiping it clean on the grass. ... Sweeping his hair aside (it was definitely blond, now), he resheathed the two knives on his back and carried the dead rabbit, a traditional guest gift for Lord Elrond, back to his horse. He remounted (the saddle was still there, unfortunately) and trotted on towards Rivedell.

What does this new development mean? Do the writers of StupidRing know something that we yet don't?

I wonder if they do. Its funny that someone who owns a rabbit would kill one. Maybe because it was white and he only likes likes multicouloured hares like Elmerf.

Or perhaps Elrond just liked to be reminded of the larger variety of hare, rather than hearing of the (supposedly) mythical mini-bunnies.

Wow, its been forever since anyone has posted here on my thread, it might have something to do with my extremely loonngg absence from the BD, but no worries it is only do to the fact that i have homework a mile high its not because i dont LIKE the BD. But i have to be truelful i kind of forgot about my thread and was reasently reminded of it whan my sister received a rabbit teddy bear for christmas and i heard myself yell:

" Oh my Goodness, Elmerf!"

So now even though it has been 3 days since christmas i have finally gotten the chance to return and i would love for our discussion about Legolas' amazing hare Elmerf to continue.

Sincerely,
Wilwa

Shall I?

I recently came upon this in a stack of papers I found lying about...

Quote:

By Eru, what has gotten into Elmerf? He's been into my closet, into everything, chewing things up! But I love the cute little fellow anyway.

Perhaps I have stumbled onto 'The Personal Journal (Regarding Elmerf) of Legolas Greenleaf, Esq.' My, my....

wilwarin538 · 01-04-2005, 07:12 PM

Where about might that be?? Perhaps if you looked alittle closer in this "about" you could possibly find us some ore extremely valuable information.

So I supposed that this little journal entry from Legolas tells us what Elmerf likes to eat. The contents of Legolas' closet!!! Strange.

Thoughts???
