*shocked silence*

It looks as if that was just too hard an act to follow......

Truly astounding.

Morsul the Dark: is of course smoker hut lard, meaning of course that he smokes his meat in a hut made out of animal fat. Ew....

Our beloved Maeg would describe herself as a "game."

I feel all selfconcious posting after Rimbaud and all, but he inspired me to move on to bigger and better... ANAGRAMS!

Was the One Ring trying to tell us something?:

One Ring to rule them all, one ring to find them...
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Mr. Tolkien might be a ranger in Tol-in-Gaurhoth if he told Dr. N. G. Landen nonsense:
"Hi! I old timber tentmen."

To be a little self-loving to start off with:

the guy who be short = how be the hors gut?

Better ones to follow, hopefully.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
1420! Yet more Downers' drinks ...

When entertaining, Fordim Hedgethistle dished the Fig Merlot.

Encaitare favours a Rice n’ Tea mixture.

The guy who be short has a taste for the “Hot Huey” Ghost Brew.

Whereas The Barrow-Wight prefers the Wraith Goth-Brew.

Mister Underhill's tipple is Rilled Entish Rum.

Sleepy Ranger tends to drink Pyrene Lagers.

While Rune Son of Bjarne satisfies himself with a Jar of Nunson Beer.

Dancing spawn of ungoliant takes a slug of Napwan Gin and Tonic.

And Meneltarmacil spoils himself with a Mint Caramelle cocktail.

Having simple tastes, Tuor of Gondolin is content with London Fruit Goo.

Surley this message was dictated and Hlnnnrrrrrrrr was the amanuensis' best attempt at rendering the author's speech as he was slain by a wolf...

the fellowship's been done, but what about the supporting cast.

Faramir-fair ram. it's hard to find a sheep to be umpires at baseball games these days, we've had to resort to using zebras.

Baggins-bans gig. he must have become cranky now that he's old. "turn that music down, boromir".

Barliman Butterbur-terminal rub rub bat. These baseball players have some strange good luck charms to compensate for the zebras' unfair calls, and tjhis one seems to bring bad luck.

Elrond-led ron. maybe Rowling was inspired by Tolkien.

Arwen-e-warn. she tells people to beware of MSN, because it's addictive and destroys your grammer. This is an interresting insight on the nature of the ring cf;Gollum.

Galadriel-lag railed. reluctent to put safety rails in lorien because "no-one's fell yet"

Eomer-me ore. he thinks he's made of metal. this also works for our Eomer.

Theodon-he do not. this is what grima told him all the time.

Saruman-man ursa. shouln't that be Beorn.

Denethor-net horde. so he did have a plan!

Nothing is an anagram of "Nazgul" makes sense, because they are nothing.

P.S. I used a website.
