There could be an essay application to get in:

1.) Balrogs. Wings/No Wings. You have to have at least 1000 words. Go.

2.) If there was a still picture of Pippin screaming while Ugluk was looking at him, how would you caption it?

3.) You are on an island with: Smaug-Elrond-Faramir-Sauron. Who do you vote off?

4.) You are called to exterminate wolves from a village that is near Minas Tirith, now the Island of Werewolves. You are teamed with a Seer, a fellow Hunter and Ranger, and about 15 crazy villagers. How do you do it?

Other Rules:
-Only 8 letters in your Signature.
-Pay the annual Green Box Tax
-Send in seperate application requesting permission to use said Avatar. You will be notified in 6-8 weeks, and there is a 23% accepted rate.

This is somewhat off topic, but if you'll allow me:
I once did a Lord of the Rings exam ie created one. It was as follows:

Quote:
Candidates should attempt any three questions.
The use of Unfinished Tales, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (incl. appendices) is permitted.
The exam will last 90 minutes.

1.Discuss, with reference to the relative authorities to support your argument, who you believe Tom Bombadil was.

2. Balrogs don't have wings. Discuss.

3. After the Witch King perished at the Battle of Pelennor Fields Gothmog took over. Who do you believe Gothmog was?

4. Is the mortality of man a gift?

5. 'Had Deagol not found The One Ring none of this would have happened.' Discuss.

And the slogan?
The Barrow-Downs: you'll do the above in a real exam which you will go on to fail miserably and not care.

- Last Post wins... GO!

- A mild health hazard.

- Contact your doctor before using.

- Better than having a fish slapped across your face... I would think.
