I am secretly a girbil. but my old adversary hookbill, is a booklet hog ah limbo (limbo can also mean nothingness).

Gurthang · 10-30-2005, 02:03 PM

Call me stupid, but I only now just realized that this thread's title is an anagram.

By the way, Formendacil, I really like the thread.

Gil Galad was an Elven King, of him the harpers sadly sing

becomes

Gandalf was a sleek lad? My, no! Ha! He is perving thing, girls!

And you thought the uncloaking was bad.

Gurthang · 11-07-2005, 12:03 AM

The Seer dreamed of wolves. = we move the dress of leader.

The Seer found the leader was a wolf in sheeps clothing? (It's a stretch.)

The Hunter got a wolf. = Flunt, he goeth to war.

Guess the hunter was Flunt.

The wolves win! = The W's now live!

Everone knows that W stands for wolf.

Morai · 11-07-2005, 03:11 PM

Middle Earth Mirth = hitler mirth me add
This illustrates the sadistic side of Downers' humor.

The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum =switchboards furrows mound noise
Obviously it means the interesting thought that is provoked by BDer communication, at least if one has dial-up.

Valesse · 11-09-2005, 09:02 PM

I wasn't going to post until I knew what Bb's original quote was she took from, but I don't want to let this one go, as it points out how one of our fellow downers came into being:

Firefoot blazes into the spotlight, here, with a highly illregular (just like the 'downs) Latin phrase: fiet foro. What does that mean, you say? Together, most literally "I was made by the forum".

Children of Eru, meet the Child of Wights.

Iron Hills is really a shrill ion
Who should have known that atoms could produce a high-pitched sound

Imlad Morgul is a symbol of Tolkien's anti-mao'istic thoughts: dull grim mao

Tumladen is just a word for mute land- Fitting don't you think ?

Morai · 11-19-2005, 12:16 PM

fundamentals headed grim =Middle Earth Fun and Games.
Obviously the dark side of BDer humor.

vetoes him =The Movies.
The attitude of many BDers towards Peter Jackson and his interpretation of LOTR.

newcomers connive ads= Novices and Newcomers.
The impulsiveness of many newcomers to our forum to splatter the discussion with on topic/ off topic advertisements.

Okay, so the last one wasn't that clever. At least I tried....

Lhunardawen · 02-24-2006, 02:42 AM

royal invader girl = ordinary villager

You all disappoint me.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-13-2006, 12:21 PM

It seems John Ronald Ruel Tolkien is playing an odd Dwarvish dice game in which, someone claims...

"John, I’ll Rol a ‘De’ Rune... NOT!"

Glirdan · 12-03-2005, 04:02 PM

Gurthang becomes Than Rug G
Wow, someone like carpets a little to much.

Morai becomes Ai, mor!
Sounds a little spanish to me.

and lastly,

Glirdan becomes Ran gild
What dirty little secrets am I hiding?

Gurthang · 12-12-2005, 11:01 AM

Well, I think the answer quite obvious, for his name tells all:

Tom Bombadil = Idl[e] atom bomb.

Well, he's certainly caused an explosion in Fordim's poll.

mormegil · 12-12-2005, 11:34 AM

Tol-in-Gaurhoth give us either a guilt or honor hat to wear. Which is rather true.

Aiwendil · 12-12-2005, 02:07 PM

It's time to reveal the truth about this site.

The Barrow-downs discussion forum is really a front for a nuclear physicists' gambling ring:

"Much odd, sour, or raw fission won bets".

What do they wager? The site advertises Members list, or:

"bet elms' rims"

(or is that a demented Gollum saying "Mm, blisterses"?)

When the nuclear physicists are criticized for the gambling, they blame another department, saying "Active Topics" or:

"vice at optics!"

There are those that have tried to stop the depravity, but they are Novices and Newcomers who don't know that:

"No downer can mess vice".

And one of the most infamous threads offers a piece of sordid advice: Canonicity: the book or the reader? or:

"the contradictory bookie - he earn!"

And, like other gambling havens, the Downs draws a healthy crowd with the lure of gambling: Translations from the Elvish or

"Reservations - half month list".
