It's like when your car mileometer turns over to a notable new figure and you have to take a picture of it. Yes, I have done this....

Almost a correct assumption. I'll be drinking Tea.

I predict that Hookbill will suddenly and inexplicably make a jump in the member ratings...oh look, there ya go.

Also, someday the Werewolf games will be outsourced to another site, leaving signatures, avatars and discussion solely to Tolkien-related topics.

Well, that was the plan. But it seems that photos have continued. I thought I destroyed them all with that thing!

Of course, I need to make a Crazy Captions related prediction now:
I predict that slowly, because almost every possible picture from the three films (and some from the animated ones) will be posted, photo shop edited pictures will creep in and take over. The possibilities are endless!

Palantir-Green Prediction:

The following will have Personal Titles by the time the next wave has passed:

Formendacil
Anguirel
Gurthang
alatar

There're probably more, but these one's I'm pretty sure of.

So I'll be the first to say 'Congratulations,' then.

I predict there will be a sequel (or prequel ) to Assigned to Mordor, named "Assigned to the Shire".



Also, The Downer will be voted Newspaper of the year for a second year running after it's brilliant story on the shooting of its editor in chief.

Uh oh Hooky, we have some trouble brewing.

I also predict Rune attempting to start another newspaper company. He eventually gets bought out and ends up working for the Downer as a Sports journalist instead. (Hint hint Hook )

Oi, do I miss this thread too...so,

Quote:
Boromir88 will reveal that the reason why he has such a high rep count is because he is actually Davem, Eomer and Saucey in disguise~Gil-galad
I'm sorry Gil, but that isn't the secret.

I implanted a virus in the system to where anytime I get a rep it adds on an extra digit. So, if somebody's rep was normally 6 points it would equal 60, 78 points = 780...and so on. Kind of like what they do in Office Space. But please, don't tell anyone, I'll let you in too.

I predict one day everyone will cease to use smilies as we will figure out some day how to feel and measure 'tones' over the net, making smilies useless and go out of business.

the phantom will take over the Downer, changing it to "The Phantom Times", and the Phantom and Alien will become "Phantom and His Ego".

Are you suggesting that Alien is an embodiment of Phantom's ego?

Predictions:

Very soon, The Barrow Downs will have a fundraising event to raise money to make our own film version of The Lord of the Rings and any other Tolkien books we happen to like.

No, just that Phantom will finally kill Alien, and spend the rest of his life just talking to his own ego.

I predict that in a few years, no-one will remember who Alien is.

"Oh right, the Alien...we were supposed to do the Wave for him or something, weren't we?"

Or Boromir the Disco King.

"Hey yeah, I remember that! He was always sparring off with his nemesis, the Phantom. Boy that Saucepan Man...the idea for that NEWspaper was a move of pure genius."

Or Elrond's Guestbook.

"Yeah, that's where the Alien and Boromir the Disco King got their starts. Remember? No? It was about the time that Mormegil started posting, he was banned shortly after. Remember that?"

Or Inktomi Slurp Spiders.

"I sure was glad when the spammers finally stopped popping up. Like Mormegil, remember him?"

Or this thread. Wait, no, scratch that one. It will live long in our memories, especially after it goes down in flaming off-topic glory.

Oddwen, that was brilliant.

I really don't know much at all about Elrond's Guestbook, as I wasn't here for that, just rumors about it.

I first started posting on the Barrow-Downs during the initial Boromir the Disco King craze, which was pretty funny. Sadly, it's gone now. Poor Boromir...

And just as sadly, Mount Zoom is going the way of Boromir these days.

How quickly we forget things...

And I predict that those uncloaked jokes will continue to be going strong 5 years from now....just so long as I'm still around They're brilliant they are.

And as for that spammer Mormegil I hope he is bannished in short order...nobody should be able to simply capitalize my name to begin spamming and get away with it.

I predict that when CC does finally go down, Hookbill's sanity will go to and the thread will simply be a depository for any witticism Hookbill has left though sadly he will do more muttering than humor. "Captions, crazy I say, Captions, crazy captions, I was once a king you know." It will go like this for some time.

This could take a while, obviously.

I'll get right on it then, shall I?

Actually, come to think of it, there is a way to make your own Wiki, apparently. Perhaps it's something for the mods to consider.

Just another one of the predictions coming true, eh?

I predict that some arguments... sorry, discussions... on the Downs will go so far that a small party will set out and break into the house of Christopher Tolkien and steal all of his father's notes and spend the next few years sifting through them looking for answers to the questions of Life, Arda and everything!

What if those tales that nutters come out with are true though and his house really is surrounded by packs of ravenous wild boar?




*which it isn't, I hasten to add...

i predict that after H-I has launched every poll imaginable, he would astound us by making the following poll:

What poll do you think is the best thought of?
