Hmm, I haven't been drunk for a long time and when I was I was more of a maudlin drunk - but a glass or three does tend to loosen the tongue - if I get going on something I care about, alcohol is irrelevant. I do try not to shout because it is not a substitute for backing up the argument - ... but since I am not so good at thinking on the hoof, if I get angry I tend to go very quiet, and the tic starts up....

However, assuming Iwasn't driving there would be a chance that I might tell Bombadil just how annoying he was...

I don't know what complement the table means so this may not seem too good...

Ok..

First off I shall sit at the head of the table facing away from thhe window
secondly to my right will be Encantaire to her right will be Grima Wortounge we know she likes the guy

Next to him will be Rosey because... HMM.. so anyway next to her is of course Sam since husband and wife must sit together next to him will be Firefoot. at the opposite head of the table is H-I cause hes very polite well mannered and I consider him a good friend.next to him is Arwen and next to her Aragorn and then Child of the Seventh Age because she is also quite nice and polite and considered a good friend...the other seats are vacant so there is room for the food

Aw, how sweet of you.

And how... remarkably perceptive.

Lindolirian · 01-27-2005, 04:51 PM

...so this'll be a Quizzer's party!
The Saucepan Man: Who could leave him out; our most cryptic clatterer? Not to mention a wonderful mod and leader.
Nilpaurion Felagund: Always a jolly good time with these two!

Gandalf: The Wisest Maia of all, certainly to know a good deal of trivia.
Firefoot: What's the Quiz Room with out 20 Questions and what's 20 Questions with out Firefoot?
NightKnight: Our resident Swede, with good sense of humor... here's to hoping he'll return.
Bilbo Baggins: Goodness, he translated all those Elvish tales, he must have a few whiz-bangers up his sleeve!
Heren-Istarion: Mostly quotes, but that "Another Way Around" is quite the toughie! Besides, who could leave him out?
The Perky Ent: Again, hoping this Bregalad-ish fellow would peek in now and then.
Sophia the Thunder Mistress: Returning from a long absence; I missed her stumpers!
And from waaay back in the day...
Bruce MacCulloch and Mat-Heathertoes/Russandol: A long time ago when our flesh was not fully rotted, these two would engage in unbreakable quizzing sprees with questions that made (and still make) my head spin!
Eru Iluvatar: Gotta have that omniscient fella to confirm our answers so we don't have to spend valuble eating time looking them up in the books!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-27-2005, 09:25 PM

Lindo, you left yourself and Vairë out!

Wrong Lindo, wise guy.

Oh.

I agree. I hope those two would be back permanently in the Quiz Room.

Although, Bruce MacCulloch does peek every now and then.

Being an avid fan of asocialism, I am not trained in the art of Hosting Parties. But after receiving a string of invitations (Thank you very much, Fea, Sophia, and Lindo!

), I felt it my duty to reciprocate. Problem is, I have made so much acquaintances in so many areas of the Downs that it would be hard to find just ten people.

I guess I’ll have to do it thematically.

But I can’t post now. I still have to make my guest lists. Plus find caterers. Food is always the diadem of my party.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-12-2005, 12:58 PM

Honored guests, I welcome you, to movie night. The meal, if it can truly be called that, is popcorn, Ben and Jerry's, and soda. And Fea's [in]famous pizza dip (made with cream cheese, chile sauce, peppers, onions, pepperoni, and cheese). The movie shall be [the cartoon version of] The Return of the King, and the featured guests shall be:

Samwise Gamgee, to explain to us what he was really doing behind that bush. "I was just digging for taters, Gandalf, sir... not droppin' no eaves."

Elrond Peredhil, to explain the existence of his beard and halo. "Artistic license goes such a long way."

That Gondorian Minstrel for live performance of each song, followed by an emergency binding, gagging, and stuffing in a sound-proofed room.

Myself, of course.

And to finish it off, Encaitare and Child of the Seventh Age, both of whom are recorded as having not liked the movie whatsoever. Mwahahaha. *evil smilie*.

Finishing off the night's activities will be a non-ceremonial burning of all traces of that film. *shudder*.

Fea [wanders away singing "where there's a whip [crack] there's a way."]

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-24-2005, 03:12 PM

Here's my attempt. Sorry if it's a but rubbish.

Myself: of course.

The Barrow Wight: got to keep the landlord happy.

Gaffer Gamgee: To bring his amusing analogies and sayings.

The Saucepan man: Who knows? You may need a saucepan! (no offence Saucepan)

Morsul the Dark: Why not? You need someone Dark at a party!

Bilbo Baggins: We all need some good story telling.

Aragorn: So we have royalty on the guest list.

Seating plan:

The Gaffer and Bilbo sat across from each other, to share Hobbit talk.
Mr Wight at the head of the Table (keep the land lord happy, still)
Saucepan across from Morsul so they can throw things at each other for everyone's amusement.
Aragorn at the other head of the table. (hay, he's a King!)
Me, in the corner, the board looking one.
