I want the extra points, so Ugluk was Useful, at least to Saruman, taking Merry and Pippin captive and killing Boromir. Or maybe useless, since he failed to get them to Isengard. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thranduil could be called xenophobic - he liked to keep strangers out of his neck of the woods.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-16-2003, 05:05 AM

Ioreth the yakker made quite an impression on the king.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-20-2003, 07:12 PM

I don't know if it's been repeated(I had not the will to read all previous topics), so, forgive me if it is.

How about...occupation that you can apply to a Middle-earth personality. Like this...

Gandalf was the architect of Sauron's overthrow.

Gil-Galad · 11-20-2003, 07:54 PM

Thruingwethil was a Bat messenger of Sauron

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-21-2003, 12:53 AM

Since when was being a Dwarf an occupation? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

F is for Farmer Maggot

G is for Gardner, a family of Hobbits.

Lots of scope for Hobbit surnames here, surely. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The Two Towers, said by Pippin after Gandalf asks him what he saw:

"And then he came and questioned me"

Wow, I can't believe I got that [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Hopefully this counts as an occupation

Not too much call at the job centre for Orthanc assaulters and palantirs, though. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Surely you mean "wielder".

An alternative would be Yeoman, of which there are a number in LotR, such as Hama and Beregond.

As for Z, well Radagast was a Zoologist. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
