his rather expensive bar tab

Gralin musicteeth- It took me a minute but I got it. AAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA! Too funny!

Was that an answer? My answer is: Qwerty the chartruse. He's the 4th most powerful Istari.

OK, What made Legolas decide to be Gimli's friend in Lothlorien? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-24-2002, 05:50 AM

He wanted to lull Gimli into a false sense of security so that he could steal a strand of Galadriel's hair from him. Legolas was hopelessly in love with her.

--------------------------------------------

What happened at the Field of Cormallen?

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-24-2002, 05:57 AM

Unfortunately, the original name of that field has changed throughout the centuries. It was called the Field of Choir Mellon in the First Age, and that is where the Elven Friends of Music Choir gave their open air concerts.

What did the Troll's purse say when Bilbo tried to burglar it?

Who was King in Erebor during the War of the Ring?

HerenIstarion · 10-24-2002, 06:38 AM

(in a n abstract soret of voice):

"To make a purse successful, transit should be part of the purse business, on order to give sufficient volume. Combining it with transport is something that will speed up to development of purse"

What for was there a trapdoor in Thranduil's cellar?

HerenIstarion · 10-24-2002, 06:42 AM

Sorry Squatter, I was distracted while "reply" window was already open. I haven't noticed your answer.

ok

It was someone by the name of Rebor. he was computer addicted, so the e-Rebor, which accidentally ended up in Erebor.

========================================

Why there was a trapdoor is Thranduil's cellar?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-24-2002, 08:23 AM

Not to worry. Happens to the best of us.

So that he could go for naked midnight swims without being photographed by the gutter press.

What was the disaster of the Gladden Fields?

Which nobleman of Rohan foolishly attempted to pass the Paths of the Dead and never returned?

Birdland · 10-24-2002, 09:40 AM

Garcian the DeadHead. He is now a roadie on perpetual tour and extremely grateful for the gig.

***************
Why did Legolas and Gimli share a horse?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-24-2002, 09:45 AM

Because they got peckish on the journey.

----------------------------------------

What did Faramir see to convince him that his brother was dead?

Aramacil · 10-24-2002, 11:28 AM

The answer is simple, it was the body of his brother, floating by him when he was fishing in the river.

*********************************
How many rings where originally made?

TolkienGurl · 10-24-2002, 01:04 PM

There were originally 20 rings made for great kings of men who turned into 20 Nazgul, eleven of whom either drowned, got too drunk to move, or got lost along the way to find the Halflings. That's why there were only Nine in LOTR (see "Dude, Where's My Ring" for the full story. Its in the fanfiction section. HILARIOUS.) Then Sauron melted the rings of the eleven unfortunate Nazgul and made his own jewelry business, with the One Ring as a display item. (I made that last part up. Kinda lame. I know.)

- - - - - - - - -

Why did Sauron decide to wage war against the free peoples of Middle-earth?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-24-2002, 01:21 PM

He was drunk one night. He apologised later.

--------------------------------------------

Where in Middle-earth can Mithril be found?

mark12_30 · 10-24-2002, 01:25 PM

You harvest it off of Mallorn trees in the spring. That's why the borders of Lorien are guarded by rabid Haldirs.

Why did Galadriel give the fellowship three boats?

Childlike Empress · 10-24-2002, 01:30 PM

In the clouds. The Dwarves have some trouuble mining it, believe you me.

------------------------------------

Why did Gandalf always wear a pointy hat?

Childlike Empress · 10-24-2002, 01:33 PM

Sorry mark 12_30, I didn't refresh soon enough I guess [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Galdriel only gave them three boats because, despite the prevalence of Mithril in their land, the Lorien Elves are really quite impoverished (the Dwarves make the Elves do the mining, you see, and hog all the profits) and three was all they could afford to spare.

-------------------------

Why did Gandalf wear a hat? (please don't say "because he's bald"...that's boring)

[ October 24, 2002: Message edited by: Childlike Empress ]

What would you do if you had a tall, pointy head? That's why.

Why do the big statues by Tol Brandir (name escapes me) face Northward?

TolkienGurl · 10-24-2002, 01:43 PM

Quote:

What is the name of the large inland sea North of Mordor?

The Sea of Happiness. Sauron liked to go there and frolick through the large fields of daisies with the cute little bunnies during his free time.

Sorry. I couldn't help myself! Please continue with the following question made by mark 12_30:

Quote:

Why do the big statues by Tol Brandir (name escapes me) face Northward?

HerenIstarion · 10-25-2002, 12:30 AM

They were made of magnet. Those statues were used by Elendil and his sailors as a compass on their sea journeys. When they settled down in Gondor, there was no more need for compasses, so statues were thrown away, but still pointed northward as any decent compass would do

===================================

What was in the pot Bilbo had stolen from Smaug which cused so much of dwarves' excitement?

Eruhen · 10-25-2002, 09:12 AM

It was pot!!!!! The "bowl" was actually Thorin's old bong that he had since he was a rebellious teenager.

What is Aman?

hobbitlass · 10-25-2002, 03:01 PM

Grown-up boy, opposite of Awoman.

What else did Wormtongue have in his chest besides Theoden's sword?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-25-2002, 08:24 PM

Three changes of underwear, some questionable woodcuts and a bacon sandwich.

-------------------------------------------

What did Sauron call himself when dealing with the Smiths of Eregion?

Catherine · 10-26-2002, 02:07 PM

Pawget
~~~~~~~~~~~
Why was this his name?

Elven Mistress · 10-26-2002, 06:41 PM

Pawget stood for Person At Which Gets Eaten There

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sticking with Pawget...
Where was "there"??

Marileangorifurnimaluim · 10-26-2002, 11:00 PM

Oh dear, let's not go there, girlfriend. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

On the left buttock. (Mosquitos are pretty bad this time of year.)

*****************

What was Sam saying goodbye to in the cellar at Bag End?

Childlike Empress · 10-27-2002, 10:50 AM

His lucky rabbit's foot, which, gentle soul that he was, Sam had not separated from the rabbit.

---------------------------------------

What does Ted Sandyman do in his off hours?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-27-2002, 11:05 AM

He cuts the legs off rabbits to make lucky rabbits' feet for the Isengard and Dunland export markets. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

------------------------------------------

How and why did Bilbo avoid meeting Lobelia Sackville-Baggins?

Birdland · 10-27-2002, 11:45 AM

I never understood that myself, because everyone in the Shire said they would be perfect for each other, and Hobbiton is a small town.

But there it is; She'd be leaving The Green Dragon just as Bilbo was walking in. Or her dance card would already be full when Bilbo mangaged to arrive late (again) at the various functions that they both attended. And so, sadly, there never was an introduction.

If there had been, things would have been very different, let me tell you, what with Lobelia wearing the One Ring on her left hand. (sigh)

***********************************8

How is that Sam had never seen an Elf before?

Gandalf_theGrey · 10-27-2002, 11:50 AM

What stopped Sam from seeing Elves was that those durned oliphaunts were always getting in the way.

____________________________________________

What's the real reason Gollum never ate cooked food?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-27-2002, 12:37 PM

Because Gollum, poor debased creature that he is, is the worst cook in the entire world. Raw fish intestines were simply better than his cooking.

-------------------------------------------

What song is it that Sam sings on the way to Amon Sûl?

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-27-2002, 01:24 PM

It's "Yellow Submarine", because that's the only song of which all know the chorus and can sing along.

° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °

What insulting name did Bilbo call the spiders in Mirkwood?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-27-2002, 01:35 PM

Well, obviously "splitters". They were all members of the Mirkwood Arachnids' Front, and not the Arachnids' Front of Mirkwood .

Where and what is the Window on the West?

TolkienGurl · 10-27-2002, 02:54 PM

The Window on the West is, oddly enough, on the East side of the Hill. That's the window that Gandalf pulled Sam in through in 'The Shadow of the Past.'

Why did Sam decide to go with Frodo to Mordor?

Or her dance card would already be full when Bilbo mangaged to arrive late (again) at the various functions that they both attended. And so, sadly, there never was an introduction. If there had been, things would have been very different, let me tell you, what with Lobelia wearing the One Ring on her left hand.
