legendary pick-up lines of Middle Earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Movie Gimli: ..well he just has to say any trivial bit of bookish plot in some humorous fashion, and all of a sudden he is a stand up comic with a drunken fanfair. Way to go Movie-Gimli! Hundreds of lounge lizards are jealous! (Does anyone else think of Grima with the term lounge lizard, or am I the only one that can see him in tight reptile prints?)

Book-Gimli:
"You know.. I've been to the gates of Moria, but your eyes reflect the moon FAR brighter." followed by low dwarvian growl.

"I'd sail away with you before that elvish git any day of the week!" again with the low dwarvian growl.

After some pantomimed "striking" his "target" with any of a various assortment of mining instriments he drops the tool and hollars "I've struck gold!" before emitting yet again, another low dwarvian growl.

Yes folks: when it comes to dwarvian pick-up lines its all about that growl.

I've already used this in Crazy Captions, but...

Some Middle-earth guy: "Hi. My name is Will. Eru's will."

Surely applying them in RL is key:

"You're as short as Gimli but as fair as Galadriel...that's no to the drink then?"

"That's funny. Similar thing happened to my mate Frodo Four Fingers..."

"Ah, Old Toby. What? Hello? Something I said?"

"Hola. Speak any Quenya?"

"Hey. I know, I know, the queue. Starbucks is pretty much Mordor, right?"
