I'm going to give it to NightKnight because saying they look alike would imply that they have beards.

I'll bet two points and say "Khazad! Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!" meaning "Dwarves! Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"- this is from the Appendix.

Or do you mean the one from Gimli's shout at Helm's Deep- "Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ai-menu!" ("Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!")?

Correct! It's the second one that I had in mind (and that is in the appendix also). Carry on!

So much for Firefoot's winning streak. Anyways, here's the first question for July, which I feel will be a short month. Anyways, I like doing questions like this:

For 1 point: John R. (can't spell his middle name) Davies send who to get a tattoo in his place?
