Thank you, I'm glad people are having as much fun as I am. I agree with Legate, the slogans for The Barrowdowns and WW are so appropriate.

Hmm...I was greeted with another appropriate one about The Barrowdowns:

There aint no party like The Barrowdowns party

"Snap! Crackle! Gandalf!"

I'm trying to figure out what this one means...

"The Denethor of a new generation"...anyone?

And I'm definitely going to have to disagree with this one:

"Smart. Beautiful. Shelob."

There seems to be some handy helpers around there as well... but on which side?
You Press the Silmarillion, We Do the Rest.

Gandalf at the jewellery:
Pardon Me, Do You Have Any Grey Silmarillion?

Or try the following line to charm the one you've a crush on and you'll never get to hang around others than Tolkien lovers...
I Like the Silmarillion in You.

This time, I was greeted by:

Nobody does it like The Barrowdowns.

And inspired by Nogrod's effort, I tried...

The Hobbit stays sharp till the bottom of the glass.

And since I haven't seen The Might around here, sorry Miggy, but I could not resist putting your name in:

Gonna be a while? Grab a Miggy.*
Sounds like a slogan that should hover over the Quiz Room when one is there alone and no one seems to be posting

Another one:

Double the pleasure, double the Chat Skwerl!

Not sure whether one isn't sufficient already...

EDIT: Now reading it, I recall there used to go (around here at least) a commercial on the snack named "Twiggy"... hm... maybe...

What can Barliman Butterbur do for you?...I doubt he could do even the simplest tasks for you.

Nobody does it like Eru...got that one right

Always after me Laconic Loreman...I'll tell you all now back away.

It should rather have been "Snap! Crackle! Denethor!"
