Vertically challenged folks and where they live.

I'm stumped . . . but not without an answer, wrong as it might be:

As far as I can figure out - these are homeless Dwarves -- probably displaced since Beleriand sank; a lost clan - the Fardrivers. Modern day finds them living in France, in small trucks set low to the ground, selling garden statuary to elderly ladies of modest financial persuasion (the ladies, that is, not the Dwarves - they are quite wealthy, but hide it well)

My answer, therefore is:

~*~ L' Dwarves of the Loris ~*~

which is utterly in error, of course, but the best I could do at the moment . . .

~*~ Pio

For goodness sake, I muttered. It's not that hard. Where's that piece of paper with my notes. Here we go. Right - d, w, a, r, v, e, s, o, f, t, h, e....

So far so good. What's wrong with these people? Um. Hang on. Not even I can make Iron Hills out of i,l,l,o,r,s. Hmm. I missed out a word. Simple mistake, no-one can blame me for that. Such a small word... In.

Ah. And an H.

Hmm. Back away slowly 'baud, the thread is pio's for treating this blunder with casual good humour...

Come now, come now. A much missed poster, nay a billboard of such luminosity is he, reminded me that although my folly here has been great, the show must continue.

This humble warthog that I am would offer the thread out again, but instead I'll tender a morsel so tender that all will tender to tend to the tending of it.

On glueing the coloured seed to his shirt,the hobbit laughed in a merrisome way. For now, he had a pip pin. Answers in a post please.

Pippin, perchance?

Rimbaud · 12-05-2005, 05:14 AM

That's fast work, Nilp.

The thread is all yours, so please post something riotously difficult

Th' hard root on us!
