Epitahs - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kates Frodo Temp · 07-05-2003, 06:04 PM

Hmmm... Should I go humorous? That could encorporate the fact that I would look JUST LIKE a hobbit if I wasn't so tall. Any suggestions?

I needed help when designing my BD name. Didn't realize it couldn't be changed! For an epitaph I could list all of my names, even the one my parents gave me. That could be cool!

I found it, I found it!!! I am a genius!!!
My future epitaph: “Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness!” (Shakespeare)

Brilliant! I never cease to amaze myself!!!

Silmiel of Imladris · 07-10-2003, 10:13 PM

Let me see... what could I put for mine...
Ok this isn't original but it is all I could think of.

Front side: How to keep an idiot entertained for hours, see other side.

Back side: How to keep an idiot entertained for hours, see other side.

Ok now I am going to be mean to one of my favorite characters: Elrond!

Here I lie in the dirt.
You know death really hurts.
My daughter married a morron.
Now I have nothing to bang my head on.
I was immortal, now I am dead.
So everything is almost done and said.
Please go away I have no simpathy for you.
Just wait Mr Anderson I'll come back, I always do.

Ok I got a little carried away. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Maylin · 07-10-2003, 11:16 PM

hmm....well, for the name im under is one of my own characters names. it'd probably say something like " I knew i shouldnt have let that idiot human steer.." but taht makes not sense to most, ah well

Faenaduial · 07-11-2003, 02:53 PM

Elves are immortal we don't need an epitaph!

Oh, here goes...

Faenaduial
Her heart and thoughts will
remain forever, dancing under
the tall trees of Mirkwood.

I also think my sig would make a good epitaph.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 07-12-2003, 04:00 AM

hummm, huummmm...let us not be hasty...think! oh well, i'm bad at this but maybe something like this:

okey, that sucked but i'm dead i don't care [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Something gives me the feeling he was a little bit conceited. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

One for Gimli: I dont care what you do to this gravestone, 'cos I got into Valinor and you didn't, so neh!

Everdawn · 07-14-2003, 01:52 AM

This is one for Elrond (again)

If i die
before i wake
At least in heaven i can skate
oh wait, that is a song,
Nevermind...oh!

meh meh

Gandalf's:
"Do not tread on my grave, for I am subtle and quick to anger."

Quote:

Aredhel: "My husband killed me, my son's a freak
I'm now at Mandos, let's all go 'eek!!'"

LOL! Thes two are too funny!

I thought of one for Sauron: "I would still be alive today if it weren't for these pesky hobbits!" (not to original, eh?) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Naurwen_of_Lothlorien · 09-02-2003, 04:59 PM

Oooh, nice topic Meela!!

Let's see...well I have so many ideas for my own epitaph...how about....

"Traveller, at last I'm found,
And here I'm lying underground,
But do not cry, t'would be unfair,
For when I was live you did not care..."

I know, that's a bit depressing, so now something completely different...I think it would be so nice to see this as an epitaph...

"See ya! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] " Complete with smiley face.

As for Lord of the Rings characters...

Legolas:

"Killed by Rabid Fangirls...died happy..."

Gandalf:

"Three hundred lives of men I walked this earth and now I'm out of time."

Finwe · 09-02-2003, 08:56 PM

Finwë:

Two of my sons went to Middle-earth and all I got was this lousy tombstone.

Tinuviel of Denton · 09-12-2003, 08:58 PM

I finally thought of a good one for me. I'm always fantasizing about what would happen if I died young, so here's what would go on my tombstone. (It's a paraphrase of a quote from the Silm, and yes, I know that I'm morbid.)

No other of the Children of Iluvatar
has had joy so great,
though the time was brief.

Everdawn · 09-13-2003, 05:41 AM

Finduilas

Live Fast
...Die pretty.

Makes sense.

elfearz1 · 09-14-2003, 11:52 AM

I wasn't sure whether I should post this on here or on "top ten signs your addicted to the 'downs" so here goes:

The oddest thing happened last night. I was in bed almost asleep when I got up and went to my desk. I produced a pen and paper and scribbled down:
"sept.13,2003 www.barrowdowns.com
username:elfearz1
password: (then I wrote my password of course)

If ever I die
log on to say goodbye"

Even while I was writing this I had no idea why! Maybe it had something to do with reading this thread a few hours earlier, but it is still very strange indeed!

arianrod · 09-14-2003, 07:44 PM

Mine:
Her last words: "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

Boromir:
"Killed by orcs. Stupid Orcs."

Legolas:
"Lost in action. Went on a shopping spree and never returned."

Everdawn · 09-15-2003, 01:14 AM

Meela, consider it yours.

elfearz1 · 09-19-2003, 04:48 PM

mine would go:
the doctors said it couldn't be true
her parents they didn't know what to do
her life's a sad story this lover of art
that one should die of a broken heart
