Most Embarassing BD moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Something called 'TTT Movie Lovers Club'...

*crawls under a nice big rock*

Another moment of mine that I posted recently somewhere else:

Back in the newbier days of my life on the 'downs I got to wondering if anyone else was from Kansas. Being entirely unlogical I decided it would be a 'good' idea to create a thread asking if there were any BDers from Kansas. The only surprise that came from that thread was that there was actually one post on it before the B-W found it & understandable smashed it with a sledgehammer.

My most recent blunder would easily be my try at 'Barrowdowns Tag'. Needless to say, it was closed and deleted. It really didn't have anything to do with Tolkien, and that hadn't crossed my mind until someone mentioned it. At that moment, I knew the thread was doomed. (Actually, I kind of had that hunch in the first place, but posted the game anyway. Huh, maybe I should follow my gut and not do stupid stuff.

)

Anyway, my new avatar might cause some embarrassment...

Paragraphs single-spaced, indented with the TAB key. I had my Private Messages turned off, so Pio had to explain things to the stupid newbie right there in the Inn. In addition to that, I godmodded somebody. I almost posted a fight scene, until I remembered that fights weren't allowed in the inn. ALL IN ONE POST. Lastly, I named a character in an RP a name from Silms, and I hadn't realized that it was a name from Silm until Pio came over and told me so. Then I made the character use magic that Tolkien wouldn't have written into his stories

It...could have been worse. I mean, you'd be at a push, but hey, it could have been worse

You want to know how it could have been worse? Hey, this is how:

lol amanaduial

That...I....there...hmm. There simply are no words. Fordim, I'm in the same boat as you, but hey - at least your crew has discovered capslock. Mine have some kind of grammar-scurvy...

And to cap it all: yes, yes I did start an entire thread just to throw out that little gem of wisdom.

I take the crown.

Shoot me.

Don't feel too bad, Aman. I'd say the majority of us look back on our younger days with a shudder or two... I do.

My worst was when I had only been here for a month or so and I started this thread. When people pointed out other threads that had discussed the issue I was terribly embarrased.

Luckly, thanks to Squatter, it turned into a great Mirth thread.

Also, before I had this user name I had signed up as Wilwarin Bluemoon, but had forgotten the user name I used so I just signed up again. But a post I made under that name was just horrible:

Quote:

Actually Lost One there was a friendship between Legolas and Aragorn before the 3018TA because its says somewhere in the books that Aragorn gave Legolas his daggers as a gift long before.

Obviously the part about Aragorn giving Legolas his daggers isn't true. I later realised that I had gotten that idea in my head from a fan fiction I had read on another site.

Oh yeah, my Wilwarin Bluemoon introduction:

Haha, this is so much fun.

Man you were exciteed when you did that.

To manyof my moments are embarassing. But I'd have to say the ones that I'm most embarassed of (yet proud of

) Would be my "Crazy Caption" posts. I don't know why, but I started a little thing of my own, kind of like the Gandalf uncloaked (

) thing. It started with the picture of Bilbo about to make his speech at his 111 birthday celebration. Here's what my post was:

Quote:

Bilbo: Ten! READY OR NOT! HERE I COME!

That's all it was! Now, I continue with that and so far, all of the my posts for the next few pictures had something to do with that. It's embarassing, but fun!!!
