Most Embarassing BD moment

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Shouldn't this be in the Barrowdowns forum? Seems a tad more appropriate methinks.

But anywho, I do have one (for now) of these moments to share. It was back in the day, on a cold and stormy night, when I made my worst ever decision on the Barrowdowns. I posted a thread concerning the family trees of selected members of the House of Finwe in which I asked a most ridiculous question, one which could easily have been answered had I only just read the chapter in the Silmarillion more closely. Worse still, it was in the Books forum.

I was promptly beaten with sticks and locked in an underground place of security for 3 weeks, with only water and cram to survive on. Nevertheless, it was worth the punishment as I have become a far smarter member of the site for it.

Eomer: I figured it could go in either place, but this:

is a good reason for it to go in Mirth .
One of my most embarassing (or unfortunate) moments was when my troublesome brother came on & decided to post that I had met Hugo Weaving, Viggo Mortensen, & others; & had gotten autographs of practically all the cast. Though I wish that was true, I had to spend almost a week explaining to all the people who wanted the details that I had not done any of the things that were mentioned. I promptly fed my brother to the Watcher in the nearby pond.

My most embarrassing BD moment is far too embarrassing to point out. If ye look for it though, it's still there. With a second post about how embarrassed I am to have posted it. I'm a bit embarrassed by my first post, it consisting of "You guys are so funny! LOL!" Also the time I posted a new topic without thinking to see if it'd been posted already, and the B-W deleted it...

Dare I admit to the shame of it? I once... nay... twice!... resurrected a Balrog/Wing debate. I was very quickly shown the error of my ways. I then proceeded to make a valiant attempt to put a different spin on the debate (the worst reasons you've heard for peoples' beliefs, as opposed to the beliefs themselves) with a new thread, however... it didn't fly well with the posters. They promptly decided to ignore my rules of engagement and rehash all of the old arguements. I was, yet again, shown the error of my ways.

**EDIT**: Fordim: Balrogs have wings just as conclusively as Aragorn does. Wingfoot, remember.

Ditto.

My most embarrassing moment was in the Books forum, when I asked if the Seven Names of Gondolin were actually written down somewhere. It turned out that they are - in The Book of Lost Tales 2, which I own and had read not a month earlier! It seems I had turned more than one page at some point and missed the section. I felt quite the fool.

Feanor: that pun was terrible. Careful, or I'll get my friend Roger the Redundant to WOAW you.

My most embarassing moment would have to be my very first post on the Downs. I hadn't read the rules for the Quiz Room and posted a question without answering the last one. (I went back and deleted it later though)

I think that might have been why they locked me in this gorilla cage...
