Screen name Quiz - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-13-2004, 09:13 PM

And here I was just being a smart alec with my perfect explanation and all... I honestly thought I was dead wrong, but might spark a laugh or two. I guess I really can read your mind, phantom. So here is the next screen name:

Sparky_Bird

Sapphire_Flame · 12-15-2004, 01:07 PM

Tricksy it is, yes preciouss...

P'raps it means Elwing, p'raps it does?

~ Saphy ~

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-15-2004, 03:11 PM

Tricksy, indeed, and perhaps overly so. Elwing it is not. Of the bird, think in terms of penguins and ostriches. Completely incapable of flight. One must remember my sense of humour....

Fea

the phantom · 12-15-2004, 03:28 PM

Any particular Balrog you have in mind?

Our old friend Durin's Bane. The quiz is thine.

the phantom · 12-16-2004, 12:06 PM

Santa's_Evil_Twin

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-16-2004, 12:23 PM

Annatar, my malevolent friend.

the phantom · 12-16-2004, 12:30 PM

Sauron, indeed.

Your turn, professor.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-16-2004, 12:32 PM

With a little help from a trusty source comes my latest brain teaser:

Human_Trans_Am

the phantom · 12-16-2004, 01:09 PM

I'm sure that Glorfindel and the balrog aquired Trans Am speed sometime during their journey from the mountain top to the abyss.

(they weren't exactly "human" though, humanoid- yes)

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-16-2004, 05:40 PM

You and your need for speed...

Allow your thoughts to wander away from velocity and more to the car itself.

Quote:

The answer is a human, not just humanoid.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-20-2004, 09:51 AM

P'raps to tricksy it be... A hint, therefore: When thou thinkest "trans am", thinkest synonymically.

the phantom · 01-06-2005, 02:36 PM

Synonymically?

The Trans Am was based on the Pontiac Firebird.

So...

In the movie, Denethor (on fire) flew (like a bird) about seven hundred feet. How about Denny?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-07-2005, 07:44 AM

My friend, you are entirely too clever for your own good. I was beginning to think nobody would make the connection, even if they figured out 'Firebird'. This thread is thine.

the phantom · 01-12-2005, 08:49 AM

Allrighty, here's the next one....

Sibamore

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-12-2005, 10:35 AM

Turin perhaps? Or Niniel? "Sib" being sibling, and "amore" being... loooove. Perhaps it is, my preciousssss...

the phantom · 01-12-2005, 10:47 AM

Turin and his sis were both acceptable answers.

Your turn again, professor.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-13-2005, 08:45 AM

I begin to feel smart.... phantom, does it seem to you as though we are monopolizing this game?

What to do, what to do...

Sodium_Hypochlorited

Hehe.

Fea

the phantom · 01-13-2005, 12:48 PM

Gandalf, the wizard who got "Sodium Hypochlorited" from grey to white.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-13-2005, 04:45 PM

You read my mind. Sodium Hypochlorited indeed.

The turn is yours.

Fea

the phantom · 01-18-2005, 03:32 PM

New screen name....

Spicy_Liquor

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-18-2005, 03:37 PM

Mirovir, perhaps, or is that too easy?

the phantom · 01-18-2005, 03:39 PM

You aren't getting off that easy this time, Fea.

It's a person.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-18-2005, 03:47 PM

Rumil, perhaps? The Noldorin Elf of Tirion?

the phantom · 01-18-2005, 03:50 PM

Don't be like Jack Sparrow. Forget about the rum.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-18-2005, 03:59 PM

Okay... let's take the fangirls' approach. Domanic Monaghan is rather hot [spicy] and he plays Merry Brandybuck...

the phantom · 01-18-2005, 04:06 PM

Very clever, Fea, but not what I'm looking for.

I'd love to give it to you, but I can't.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-18-2005, 04:13 PM

If this isn't right, it should be. I just had an epiphany.

Spicy = Fiery
Liquor = Spirit

You've named Curufinwe, the Fiery Spirt or FEANOR. How could it have passed me by?

Fea

the phantom · 01-18-2005, 04:19 PM

Ha ha ha!

The answer was your very own name!

I couldn't resist.

Good job, professor.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-18-2005, 06:06 PM

Hold up! With this kind of ingenuity in wordplay you two should try the Cryptic Clues thread. There's a question there needs answering ...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-22-2005, 06:20 PM

With a great amount of thought (and an almost posted, but nixed, other name in mind), I have decided to challenge ye all with this:

**Ironically_Depressed**

Hope it's a little harder than my other idea... For those of you who follow my screen names, this one is a far cry from my usual word play. It's very simple.

Fea

the phantom · 01-22-2005, 08:09 PM

For a beautiful goddess, Nienna was quite whiny.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-22-2005, 08:11 PM

Ironic that she could mourn all the bad stuff in the world but it never got her down. The thread is yours again, Opera Ghost.

the phantom · 01-28-2005, 02:44 PM

Give this one a try.

Smiling_Mr_Undernail

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-28-2005, 02:46 PM

I don't suppose it would be so easy as Grima?

Referring of course to the grime that occasionally builds up under nails, and he is the back-stabbing variety that smiles as he lies...

the phantom · 01-28-2005, 02:49 PM

No.

It's not that easy. You were on the right track with part of it, but I'm not telling which part.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-28-2005, 04:48 PM

Quickbeam, praps, praps. The quick lying under your nail, and the beam being your smile. Even an over-worked (but at least equally appreciated) stressed out gal can occasionally come up with a clever answer... or two. Or ten. Or however many it takes until I get to confuse people with my own creations. Mwahahahahaha. *evil smilie*

Fea

the phantom · 01-28-2005, 04:57 PM

Congratulations.

It's your turn to cook up a screen name. Just don't be too evil.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-02-2005, 09:45 AM

So much for being nice... I recommend a good thesaurus and mind for cryptic clues for anyone attempting this here screen-name:

Bright_Cavern's_End

the phantom · 02-02-2005, 03:22 PM

Okay... I might finally have it.

Cavern-> cell or cele

Bright-> smart-> brain

Celebrian?
