In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Kuruharan]

Next thing you know, Estelyn will have a dwarf avatar.

There is precedent for that sort thing.

[Elennar Starfire]

This one doesn't fit my usual mood at all anymore, so I lay to rest

curséd whisper ever weeping/clouds of dreaming drifting cold
life beyond though ever sleeping/drown my heart in tears of gold

Now for something more cheerful.

[Ainaserkewen]

No one can hear you now, only me, only the one who will feast on your living, bleeding soul until the red rider relieves the One of his head to feed upon what is inside. I smile on the day of this trollop's understanding, because it will never come.

I think I'll get rid of this one...
It was a paragraph of a story I wrote about someone with a weird kind of bipolar disorder. The evilness inside his head ended up being very dark and poetic.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

1. The Ents were seen in Dunland, looking for: a. Saruman and his secret stash of Longbottom Leaf; b. Entwives; c. Taters; d. Legolas and Gimli. They haven't paid the entrance fee.
   
   
2. Much Elven-blood can be found in: a. Helm's Deep (?); b. The Prince of Dol Amroth; c. The Lórien Blood Bank; d. Alqualondë (ooh, harsh!).
   
   
3. At the end of the Third Age the Dúnedain population of Arnor: a. were all dead; b. were rebuilding...what was the name again? It's been so long; c. wait. Didn't Hal take all of them?; d. can breathe easier, with Aragorn gone and all.
   
   
4. The Company abandoned the passage of Caradhras because: a. Frodo lost the Ring in Hollin; b. winter there is bad for Hobbits; c. Gimli stepped on a hole and fell to Moria; d. Leggy forgot his shoes.
   
   
5. The curse on Húrin's Children was caused by: a. a loophole in the free will clause; b. Túrin, the angry man with a talking sword; c. Morgoth (yeah right!); d. stupid staring contests.

(NOTE: Questions 3 and 4 are the complete version. I had to chop a word or seven to make them fit in.)

My personal favourite was question 5 (on account of "stupid staring contests"), although it looks like a lot more liked question 2: Vy ze vay, thanks, Ms. Esty, Ms. Helen, Ms. Evisse, Ms. Nuranar, Ms. Ainaserkewen and NK for the appreciation!

My current sig (the line above I intend to . . . ) is a quote from Tom Clancy's Op-Center: Mirror Image, although it sounds eerily like something from Tolkien.

Oh, I almost forgot: whoever can give me the correct answer to all questions above gets a true-to-life stuffed Balrog. With wings and not!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well Nilpaurion, it's a little known secret among teachers that the answer to every multiple choice question is b.

And to what scale is this stuffed Balrog? Would it fit in a Christmas stocking?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So it is! All b.

Re stuffed Balrog: It really is a Balrog, albeit one stuffed with goose feathers. So sorry, Eomer, it wouldn't fit in any mortal stocking--although Morgoth's would do.

There are two versions of this novelty item: the winged one (the one that fell in Khazad-dûm), and the un-winged one (the one that fell in Cirith Thoronath). Which one shall it be?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hmm, so some Balrogs had wings eh? Sounds like a good debate...

I'll have whichever. It's not wings that I love about Balrogs, it's their cute faces.

[HerenIstarion]

omelets and sonnets are not bad things in themselves

One of the dearest, as it was one of my own. But I change modes of expression pretty frequently, though moods to be expressed be often alike

cheers

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I grieve over this Heren. It was much loved.

Thank you, sir, I appreciate that . If a nostalgic mood is ever upon you, you may find it at the following location, for Post #75 of 'Evil Things' thread is the forest where it has originally sprouted

cheers

[Elennar Starfire]

RIP to my Five for Fighting quote:

Though endings are never ever happy, it's the happy endings along the way, that in the end, make it OK.

'Tis ironic that Heren should abandon his sonnet siggy so near the time I switch mine to the ending couplet of my very first ever sonnet...

[Lhunardawen]

"One thing I do know. I was blind, but now I'm just myopic!"

This is John 9:25 changed to suit me. The real verse says "I was blind, but now I see." When I read it, I recognized its truth in my life...though I can't see perfectly. So I changed "I see" to "I'm just myopic" because I am myopic!

[Evisse the Blue]

I hope this match never ends. When the match ends, the memories begin.

RIP, depressing quote. Time for something more cheerful.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

1. Balrogs are: a. acrophobic; b. winged; c. misunderstood.
   
   
2. Legolas is: a. the Jar-Jar Binks of The Lord of the Rings; b. blonde; c. misunderstood.
   
   
3. Daga is: a. short for 'Depressed Adults's Group Activity;' b. Filipino for 'mouse;' c. something you'll never find out.

Yep, couldn't resist the lure of multiple-choice questions. Unfortunately I ran out of steam and came up with only two . . . until daga'y who be short asked his fateful question. So, I had a third multiple-choice question.

Well, now I'll try to keep this non-Romeo Shakespeare line for as long as possible.

[Roa_Aoife]

Hail to the Redskins!

It's staying there till the Superbowl is over. Get used to it.

Next season, we will rule.

Maybe, but you are missing a "matter" (or perhaps maettr) in your siggie I believe.

And by the way, the Steelers rule NOW!! GO STEELERS!!!!

[Roa_Aoife]

Indeed I am. Thankyou Farael.

EDIT: East-coasters! WOOT!

[JennyHallu]

I love that sentence...the fun part is my dyslexic husband can't read it at all.

and...I don't care who won the Super Bowl, I wish I hadn't had so much to drink...

[gralin musicteeth]

No one gave me an answer to my question, so I guess I'll get a new signature. sigh,

Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

I guess nobody knows.
