Frodo wooed the crowds at the Prancing Pony with his rendition of "I've got a Golden Ticket."

"Cause I've got a golden ticket,
I've got a golden ticket,
I've got a golden chance to make my way.
And with a golden ticket its
A golden day...."

"Got a light?"
I know, this response is totally overrated, but it was the best I could come up with.
Who ended up with the ring at the end of the story?

Hobbit children can be cruel, particularly when they are in their "tweens". Frodo was born a Baggins, but this of course quickly led to such nicknames as "Baggy Pants" and "*** End", followed by excruciating wedgies. Gym class was hell.

So Frodo decided to take the last name of an obscure branch of his family tree and declared he was not, in fact, a Baggins, but an Underhill. "Underwear" and "Underarm" quickly followed.

By the time Frodo had come of age the subject of a last name had become too painful to deal with, and he decided that from now on he would be know only as Frodo. (That's Mr. Frodo to you!) After the events of the War of the Rings, he was known affectionatly as THE Frodo.

His true last name eventually became lost in the mists of time. Which suited him just fine.

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

When Bilbo left the Shire for the first time, he forgot his handkerchief. Why was this such an important item to him?

The hanky was a gift from Sauron, it was small and dainty, embroidered with beautiful little Nazgul riders on ponies wearing pink frilly tutus prancing about, this was a very precious and sentimental piece for him for wherever he went and displayed this item he was received with warm smiles and hugs for he bore the friendship and protection of Sauron, grand mother of the holy Nazgul brotherhood, bearers of good fatih and fortune.
Without this hanky life on the road would be hell for poor Bilbo, he was open to attack from all kinds of pestilences and decay such as the dreaded Istari without it.

How fared Gandalf's visit to Saruman at Isengard?

Why did Sam hate Gollum so much? (And I don't want an answer like "Sam thought that Gollum was hitting on Frodo" or anything like that.)

Sam subconciously hated Gollum because Gollum reminded him of his father, the "Gaffer".

I mean, let's look at this. Both Gollum and Gaffer were masters at whining and passive aggressiveness. Both were prone to heaping verbal abuse on Sam., "Nasty" may have sounded very like "Ninnyhammer" to poor Sam.

This abuse seemed to be offered particularly whenever Sam was trying to be nice or do something for Gollum. This is a favorite tactic of the aging parent against a child acting as caregiver.

Let's face it. Hamfast was probably no day at the beach, parentally speaking. Consider that Sam's two older brother's got out of the house as soon as they could, leaving Sam holding the "Bag End", so to speak. Sam even suggests in FOTR that he would have preferred to go into the rope making business, but probably became a gardener out of a misplaced sense of guilt.

So Sam's rage at Gollum was actually his rage at his own father, redirected at a more socially acceptable target. When Sam drew his sword and threatened to kill Gollum, it was the face of the Gaffer that he was seeing. And it wasn't just pity that stayed his hand, but a deeply buried fear that he would be commiting patricide.

(Hmmmmm, I wonder if this is actually a "wrong" answer? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] )

When Sam released Bill at the Gates of Moria, did he go straight home to Bree?

No. he got lost on the way and ended up in Las Vegas where he became a can-can dancer and watched the progress of the Quest through one of the lost Palantir, which had been found by the casino owner. Along about the time the quest was over, Bill decided he just wasn't making enough money as a can-can dancer and left Las Vegas. He was able to backtrack to where he got lost and found his way back to Bree just in time to meet the returning Hobbits.

They couldn't, for it was Hobbit season in them those hills, everyone there was hunting hobbits led by Elmer, not of the elves.
They had to turn back in haste.

Mordor was a huge theme park, which the hobbits were always nagging the rest of the Fellowship to take them to. The poor Fellowship had to put up with months of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?". No wonder Gandalf stayed behind to battle the Balrog, he just wanted to escape the nagging.

Why do the elves in Lothlorien live in the trees?

Because Shadowfax is really a sun block used by Gandalf to keep his dainty pale white skin from getting burnt. They just got mixed up because, well I don't know why because I can't think of anything clever right now so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to slink out of the room embarresed.

The Riders of Rohan are a circus attraction. They ride around in huge circles playing leapfrog on horsback (that is, with the horses leaping, not the riders) Every once in a while one of the riders gets kicked in passing and they have to stop the whole, entire, show while they find a replacement. It's really a huge inconvenience, but there's no way to prevent it from happening. Not that they can come up with at least...I could probably think of a way.

They found it transformed into a golf course and hunting ground by Finduilas and there were no hobbits in sight due to Elmer(who was not of the elves), the hobbit slaying Fudd's declaration of Hobbit Season on all of Middle Earth.

Narsil was made of honey and sugar. When ever Strider felt tired or was wounded he would give it a few long licks of his tongue and get instantly energized.

Frodo, being a more gebnteel hobbit was not used to the lack of hygene pracised by the "real men" Aragorn and Boromir. When he was in Lothlorien, he very nearly dived into the mirror of Galadriel to have a bath and by the time they reached Amon Hen, he was so sick of the smell of feet that he couldn't stay any longer!

What happened at the Council of Elrond?

The Watcher at the Gate always insisted on asking three questions before allowing anyone to go across his bridge. Oh, wait...wrong fantasy.
The Watcher at the Gate was really Frodo's other uncle, Herman (the black sheep of the Baggins family). One day, Uncle Herman decided he'd had it with The Shire and went off to see what he could see in the wide world. He ended up as a double agent between Sauron and the Men of Dale, but he ended up being a really poor spy, and everybosy found out what he was doing fairly quickly. Sauron's minions and the King of Dale's council got together and discussed the whole Herman-double-agent thing and decided he was just too incompetant to bother killing, so they agreed to send him off to a remote post in the middle of nowhere (sort of like a soldier being assigned to Alaska) where he wouldn't be able to do any harm.

Bilbo took the elevator just like everyone else. Reaching the floor of Smaug's department store, he browsed a while and bought a nice foot hair trimmer (half price!) to prove he'd been there.

It was a piece of junk that Elrond kept in his treasure room and was used to fool people into thinking that Rivendell was a prosperous place to live in.

Well, that really depends on who you talk to, and how mad they were at Aragorn at the moment.

"Son of a Nazgûl!" - Lugdush

"Son of an Elf-Lover!" - Gimli, at the end of a bad day.

"Son of a Hobbit!" - Barliman, when Strider skips out on the tab.

"Son of a Breelander!" - After Strider leads the hobbits through the Midgewater Marshes

"Son of a dead mother!" - Birdland (see her last thread.)

Of course, all of this just rolls of Aragorn's back. He doesn't need to be loved, just respected.

Birdland didn't ask a new one, so I will.

What does Bilbo do when he gets lost in the goblin cave?

When Bilbo gets lost in the Goblin Cave, he sits down and does what any respectable hobbit would do in that situation - he began to bawl, hoping that Gandalf would come and find him. Too bad for him that a frogman in a black wetsuit finds him first and tells him he is from the Marines. He gave Bilbo a new secret government technology permitting him to become invisible in the form of a ring. Then he gets taken aboard the Marines' helicopter to the awaiting President Reagan who commends him for being so respectable and bawling at the appropriate time so that JRR could get his fairy tale a new twist.

'I cannot read the fiery letters,' said Frodo in a quavering voice.
'No,' said Gandalf, 'but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But this in the Common Tongue is what is said, close enough:
One Ring to Bring them all and in the darkness bind them.'"

How does Gandalf escape Saruman and reach Rivendell?

Gandalf is of the race of Crotchety Old Folks, more commonly known as the Geezers. They are characterized by long canes which look like walking sticks, long beards for stability in walking, and long cloaks which later became the basis for Scottish kilts and ladies dresses, combined with their uncanny ability to continuously infuriate all other races of M-E by never going more than 35 MPH in a 50 MPH zone!

Sauron is a little boy who got really cranky when his mommy took away his teddy bear and then left him with a babysitter. He really likes his teddy bear, so when he got wind of it living with someone else who didn't do anything with it but leave it in a corner all the time, He got really mad and decided that he just had to get it back, no matter what!

What did Bilbo give to Frodo in Rivendell?

I've actually experienced this, except the elderly chap was going 20 in a 35 [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
