A idea about the "fangirl" Problem we've been having - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Maikadilwen · 10-18-2002, 09:59 AM

Exactly what we're trying to illustrate here, dearest Rimbaud. It could turn into something terrible. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-18-2002, 12:37 PM

Quoting French literature isn't going to solve it, Rim; they'll just start swooning over Gustave Flaubert instead.

Elenna · 10-18-2002, 12:52 PM

Now THERE's an interesting thought.

And no, I don't have a latent crush on the Barrow-Wight or Mithadan or anyone. I was just thinking in terms of those who DESERVE swoon forums.

Rimbaud · 10-18-2002, 01:19 PM

An attraction of the bovine to the Bovary, Squatter?

Here is a paragon of opposite, though topic gets off completely and became a word playing/punning/joking contest so stunning ...

Precisely, HerenIstarion. It is called hoisting them on their own petard. Or, conversely, having your cake and eating it, too. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Couldn't have put it better myself, Rim; which is why I didn't.

The Convenor for the Middle Earth Hostelry and Inn Association regrets to inform you that we cannot at this time accommodate your request for election facilities at the Barrow Downs Swoonery for a Ms. Berry.

Swoon Room # 2, salons A, B, and C are currently booked for a long-term engagement by the Barrow Downs Birding Club. Some of the events you might wish to attend this evening, 28 Winterfilth, are the following:

Stalking the Elusive Mellow-throated Birdland
Top Hot Spots for Sighting Birdie
Birdie Up Close: Binoculars or Scopes?
Building a Better Blind: Privacy or Peek-a-boo
Identifying Birdie's Songs: To-wit, To-Wit

Our sister Inn at Bree is also full, with reservations tonight for an appearance by some hobbits, followed by a wizard and a pony.

The following week, the Barrow Downs Birding Club will be hosting a tribute to Birdland sightings, tentatively titled, "Perched atop the Lonely Star." Tickets on sale next Tuesday. Proceeds to the Barrow Downs Store.

To all members of the Barrow Downs Birding Club:

Please note that Miss Bird is currently trapped in the tombs of Numenor and is not responding to requests for interviews. It is hoped that she will be rescued next week, and will make her reappearance at the Barrow Downs. This, however, is not certain, given the vagaries of RPGs, and those who travel with her!

All requests for promotional appearances should be deferred until that date.

Camelia Goodchilde,
Press Secretary for Mistress Bird aboard
the Lonely Star

Birdland · 10-19-2002, 07:07 PM

Thenk yoo...Thenk yoo...(blows kisses the crowd), all you lovely little common people.

And remember, the Birdland Action Figure will be available soon through the Barrow Downs Store. Pre-Orders are being accepted now.

Please buy generously.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-20-2002, 08:23 AM

Congratulations, Birdy. I trust that you don't mean to forget the little people who made it all possible.

Why do so many celebrities attribute their success to Leprechauns anyway?

HerenIstarion · 10-21-2002, 12:09 AM

The Underground Treasury of Leprechauns (Ltd) is reported to announce it is cutting short it's sponsorship program for celebrities-to-be. As a press-attaché of the Treasury told our correspondent, since all potters went to Hogwarts, leprechauns supply of pots for their gold was cut short. Though, as selfsame press-attaché announces, Treasury is seriously considering a project of issuing it's own credit cards. There is a plan to establish the original network of ATM throughout the world. ATM will be installed by Golems Inc, and made out of finest china porcelain golems. The ATM are reported to have passed tests successfully, though the cash advance process is rather peculiar - customer is supposed to stick the card into golems mouth, than make a tour around it and wait for his cash on the other side. Leprechaun Treasury (Ltd) and Golems Inc announce that their cooperation will not end with this single project, and we are to meet new products in nearest future.

Has anyone ever thought that some fangirl would stumble onto the 'Downs looking for hot Legolas pics, start reading, and get converted??

Elenna · 10-23-2002, 09:45 AM

Here's my story - my little sister (age 12) was looking for Elijah Wood pictures on the Internet. She is the epitome of fangirliness. Anyway, this site came up on the Google engine. She checked it out, and started making noises of disgust that there weren't any movie pictures. But I thought the name generator was really cool, so I checked it out.

And here I am today. I was already something of a Tolkien fan, but it's possible for a fangirl to become a thoughtful discusser. I think. Even though my sister (the Philistine) thinks the books are stupid.

Whoopsie - better stop trying to convince everyone to pray to Elbereth...

And we are an evangelical movement of sorts. We attempt to convert people to the cult of rational thought and conscientious discussion.

The bolded phrase is a non sequitur, Elenna. Please think about the connotations of the word "cult." And also look up the meaning of "evangelical."

Pio and Birdie envoke The Great Conductor:
"Ohhhhhhhhh...

I don't care if it rains or hails-oooo,
'Long as I got my plastic Eru,
Riding on the dash board of my car!

You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far

Plastic Eru! Plastic Eru!
Riding on the dashboard of my car.
But I think he'll have to go,
His magnet ruins my radio
And if we have a wreck he'll leave a scar."

piosenniel · 10-23-2002, 09:06 PM

I don't care if any mod's wroth,
Long as I have magnetic Morgoth,
Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car,

I feel I'm protected amply,
I've got the whole dang Ainu Family,
Riding on the dashboard of my car.

Plastic Eru! Plastic Morgoth!
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations
We'll travel Mithlond's every nation
With my Plastic Valar I'll go far

I don't have a car either. Oh, the injustice.

But my license plate, when I get one is going to say "NATWWAL". Guess what THAT means.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-24-2002, 06:03 AM

What's this? I'm gone for a day and everyone goes all happy-clappy. Stop behaving like a cluster of boring hippies or there'll be some smiting done.

Elenna · 10-24-2002, 06:17 AM

NOOO! NO SMITING, PLEASE!

And I really don't mind being corrected when I make mistakes. Mods are people too, and I'm a rather young one, so I make more than my quota.

And NATWWAL means Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost! Because once I get a car, you'll never get me out!

I am the very model of a mod-correcting general. And Squatter, you are indeed a favoured aide-de-camp, but it would behoove you if you capitalized on my name. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

If forum members (you) wish to "fight" this problem, you should really do nothing but proceed with things as usual and ingore such problems. If you do so, you won't be bothered and the administration will undoubtedly handle anything that presents itself as a threat to the mature, Tolkien-related discussion that goes on here.

I envy you on the plain basis of simply owing cars whilst I do not [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] __________________ Egroeg Ihkhsal - Would you believe in the love at first sight? - Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time!

But my license plate, when I get one is going to say "NATWWAL". Guess what THAT means. __________________ If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

Stop behaving like a cluster of boring hippies or there'll be some smiting done. I want to see more anarchy, in the style of Bethberry, Mod-Corrector General. __________________ Man kenuva métim' andúne? Last edited by The Squatter of Amon Rûdh; 12-06-2005 at 10:54 AM.

Mods are people too, and I'm a rather young one, so I make more than my quota. And NATWWAL means Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost! Because once I get a car, you'll never get me out! __________________ If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

And Squatter, you are indeed a favoured aide-de-camp, but it would behoove you if you capitalized on my name.

We must save ourselves for the greater battle that awaits, when the rough beast slouches forth in December.

If you do so, you won't be bothered and the administration will undoubtedly handle anything that presents itself as a threat to the mature, Tolkien-related discussion that goes on here. __________________ ...take counsel with thyself, and remember who and what thou art.
