Orominuialwen has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril Elennar Starfire

Elennar is a moderator on the Golden Ring Marathon. She is a mental triplet of Luthien_Tinuviel and Morgul Queen. She does Irish dancing, and has been known to whack people with her jig shoes. She lives in Utah. She has the same birthday as my mom, November 23rd. She loves everything Scottish, especially kilts.

Orominuialwen used to have a pug dog as her avvie, and she also did a hilarious parody of "The Word" in the LotR characters and Beatle Songs, changing it of course, to "The Wave!"

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Oddwen celebrates her birthday on the 21st of December and is the ingenious inventor of Boromir the Disco King. (Thanks to you I will never see the wave without thinking of Boromir - I am forever in your debt. )

Narya Firefoot.

She (yes, she) kelebrated her birthday two days ago (September 28).

In her profile, she summed in essence our death in the Downs:
Quote:
I used to have a life - but then I found the Barrow-downs. (Firefoot)
Such eloquence! Does that not touch your hearts?

Oh, and she's the third most prolific poster in the Downs right now, after Morsul and Perks.

Post-graduate. Mithalwen, the lady in my avvie is Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace. While studying for some contest comcerning computers I came across her picture and said, "Well . . . "

. . . actually, I have no idea what I thought. But she does make a great avatar.

Nilpaurion Felagund is one of those people with a genuinely off-the-wall sense of humour. For the doubters who say that off-the-wall humour does not work over mediums such as the internet, just get them to read one of Nil's posts, particularly the Mirth ones. He is a laugh-inducing so-and-so.

He is also a staunch defender of one of Tolkien's most vilified good guys, Finarfin, and I must say I rallied to his point of view in that debate.

As for me Heren, I'm sorry it's taking me so long to post on your mighty thread. I was scared to do so, but it's alright now. And I like how you advertised your thread in your signature. Did you steal that idea from me?

Personal address re: What advertisement are you talking about? I just proclaim the right of all human beings to have their clothing untouched by scoundrels intending to take their lives. The people to utter the battlecry were more in the right to announce it, though, as they merely had no trousers at all, in the first place.

Back to topic, though:

Eomer of the Rohirrim has a very interesting biography, as he was a member of travelling band in his youth, playing a guitar in Peru, than took a turn of his career to become gold-prospector of dubious legal grounds and was forced (probably as he set up his companions?) to flee to his current place of residence - Kokiri Forest, Scotland, where he engages himself in training a huge badger army with the purpose of (yes, you've got it) conquering the world. Ok, if not conquering, than for a quick bite and slash at the very least.

[editorial note = it seems that majority of our members born in 80s intend to conquer the world. Don't believe me? take a look at some dozen profiles falling under the category. Must be the bad influence of Disco music in tender years. Also, it seems, we are saved from such a fate by the sheer number of would-be conquerors - possibly, they fight between themselves when we don't see them. But woe on us all when one proves the mightiest! = end of editorial note]

Well, taking over the world is the right and proper job for a merciless man to quote Skeletor in his signature. I hope though that badgers may prove more soft at the core, being closer to Nature than their pirate leader...

All of this was a warning for the world - it will not be unsuspecting any more!
But whatever his evil plans, his presence on the thread may be counted as auspicious, since the new faces are always welcome and there is nothing to fear. (For one backed by so many badgers least of all ). I may even be daring to say that his appearence was one of the things to make me go 'ooh'

As for the facthood, all I may add up is that Eomer was born on March 7, 1984, which makes him 18 years of age and fir for having a driving license. I can not tell whether he has one, though.

************************
edit:

Silly me, of course it's 20! Sorry. Now I know that you do not have driving license. (Neither have I)

end of edit

I love the effort you put into that Heren! But I must say that you should check up on your sums regarding my age. And no, I do not have a driving license. I have nothing but contempt for cars and everything to do with them.

I was of course referring to your (now old) signature. Anywho, it is time for someone to reply to you again. How many times is that now? The thread has been going for 8 pages (congratulations) so I estimate about 13 times.
