This amusing thread idea is definitely suited to the Mirth forum area. I'm moving it there - please continue to read and post at the new location. Thanks!

Here's another one.

If I were a Maia, and my Vala had me doing a lot more errands and chores than usual such that I was feeling oppressed, I would want a t shirt that read,

"Maia" means "Servant"
It does not mean "Slave"

for Elves:

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
Silivren penna míriel
O menel aglar elenath
Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth

Pippin might have on that said,

"What about Second Breakfast?"

and Sauron's would say,

"All I want is a band of gold" (with apolgies to Freda Payne and her excellent song from the '70's.)

Gollum's: "Preciousss!"

or: "Got fisshess?"

or: "Look at yourself, you fat nasty hobbit!"

Balrog's: "I can fly in my drems"

Fell beast: "As you can see, I'm not that fell: I'm still in the air!"

Bilbo: "Read my books, not my shirt!"

Gandalf: "Careful... this shirt - and cloak - may come off any moment!"

Bill the pony: "Hey! You're covering this writing with the baggage!"

That's it for now.
