Most Embarassing BD moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yeah, but Assasin... you read his response, right?

Wow... I got a square kick right to the ego.

That's not so bad, Fea... at least you dared to hazard a guess in that thread and provided a decent explanation, whereas I just stare blankly and wish I could figure out the cryptic clue.

Ah, but Encai, at least I can get some revenge with the screen name quiz. The phantom and I seem to be dominating currently. Some of those names are just plain mean. I just wish I hadn't been quite so full of myself...

Most of the embarrasing moments that were made were back in the day when we were Newbies.
So of course I made a mistake in one of my first few posts.
Since I was still learning about the LOTR actors and other trivia about the movies I wasn't fully informed about some facts.
I don't remember completely what the subject was, but it was something along the lines of which actor is the worst? Or which actor didn't fit in the movie.
I incorecctly stated that Hugo weaving looked like an American lost in ME. One of the senior members immediatly pointed out to me that he was Australian. I remember feeling VERY embarrased because I had been so confident when I had made the statement. Even now I feel extremely embarrassed.
So I made a policy, don't revisit your old posts cause you know you'll cringe.

I remember when someone had started yet another 'Who were the Istari?' thread and I actually tried to give a good answer instead of ignoring it and waiting for it to be closed and deleted. I felt rather idiotic afterwards.

Come to think of it, judging by the quality of my early contribution, it would have surprised a couple of established Downers to see into the future and note that this newbie would last so long.

How did he manage it?

Captions and bribes.

Being an interesting conversationalist must help a little, Eomer.

Thought you guys might be interested in learning about Sophia's newest self-humiliation. Or rather, what might be called a continuation of the old: See posts 441-444.

Almost three years dead and I still can't do anagrams!*blush*

Eomer, sometimes I check out those 'answers to obvious questions' just because it's interesting to see what the newbies who respond, do say. Sometimes it's a pretty quick indicator of whether they are on the ball or not, whether they know M-E or not.

My vague impression was that you got off to a pretty fair start.
