If you dare the peril of Dor Daedaloth, you need not a dialect. Or anything else, for that matter.

You might need a pair of brown trousers, though. You have the right of it.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-14-2006, 03:57 AM

I'm afraid I won't be getting one. They have bad reps. As a friend of mine said, they're:

Arl, thorny as a foal chair.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-18-2006, 03:10 AM

Anybody at all?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-08-2006, 07:20 AM

I believe that brown trousers went out of fashion around the time of Hallacar of Hyarastorni. His estrangement from Tar-Ancalimë, as you'll no doubt remember, began over some corderoy dungarees that he insisted on wearing for dinner.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-08-2006, 09:44 AM

That's an interesting bit of history there.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-09-2006, 06:32 AM

I prefer mine to the real one. I think that it more accurately depicts human nature. And contains the word 'dungarees'.

With which weighty and ponderous musings, I give you an extract of the Michel Delving Psychological Dictionary (1460 edition)

Awe: a brain drain

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-11-2006, 11:26 PM

Should have known that it's just you and me today, old bean.

(Vy ze vay, can I convince you to play Werewolves?

)

Enedwaith, Iarwain Ben-adar doesn't agree with your fashion sense; he prefers yellow dungarees, you see.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-13-2006, 04:16 AM

With a hey-dol, ferry-dol, perry-dol, et cetera.

It may be just me, but some of the best quizzes seem to be remaining unanswered for ages. Perhaps they should be made compulsory.

I'm afraid that for the forseeable future I shan't be able to give any regular posting commitment the attention it deserves. I've still not had my new flat's telephone line connected and I do need to work once in a while. Also lycanthropes frighten me. In both forms.

Which reminds me. We need a new question for HoME is where the heart is..., methinks. I haven't seen head or tail of the Notion Club Papers in this here Pacific archipelago, and I don't think the other Quizzers have them, either.

Hmmm . . . I think I need to go back to studying!

True, although being one might be fun. All those deception and manipulation. And the gore. Gore is good.

Enedwaith, if you're asking when Tom decided to sport his yellow line of clothing:

's when Bart got raad.

Although this Bart eludes description.

That would be Radagast the Brown. Somehow I get the impression that all the anagram solvers have been hijacked by other threads.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-20-2006, 11:12 PM

I've got a feeling of that, too. Sauce? Rimbaud? pio? NK? Firefoot? Any anagram solver? Where are you??
