Hell yea I figure with my crew they'd bring their 10 things, so I'd be set.

I would have brought Bruce Lee, but I don't think he gets down on Hobbit-leaf.

If I was to bring something else, it would have to be an invisibility cloak. But I think that's infringing on someone else's copyright.... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Boots

Keeping it more realistic:
1) Toilet paper
2) Vector (it's a cereal and I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT)
3) a pony (I'm too short to be comfortable riding a horse)
4) My puffy vest (it's warm and lightweight, what more could you want?)
5) Someone who knows the way ie not Frodo. Better than a map as places can change with war about. I guess Aragorn or Gandalf then.
6) Frodo. How could I have a quest without him?
7) Pippin and Merry (yes they come together, 2 for 1 deal) for comic relief.
8) A good pair of hikers. I need better boots.
9) Groundpad. I am not good AT ALL at sleeping on the ground. I'm a lousy camper. I can sleep well on the second night in one place, bu on a quest... I doubt we'd stay in the same place for more than a few hours.
10) My friend Katherine's sleeping bag. It squishes down to an unbelievably small size and is very warm. She boasts about it ALL THE TIME.

Damn I forgot Sam. Well, I think he'd come along anyways, to keep an eye on Master Frodo.

The question was what 10 things we'd bring, right? People, being things (classified as a noun) qualify. Plus it's a chance for us to express our Tookish cleverness [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

My 10 items would be the following:

2. As many packs of llembas as I could get my hands on!
3. One of the horses of Rohan, to carry me on my journey
4. A compass
5. A map of Middle-Earth
6. An Elven-Cloak of the same fashion as the company were attired in
7. Two long Elvish Knives, like those of Legolas
8. A bow
9. As many arrows as I could carry
10. A pack, in which I would store as many of my items as possible!

Also just using the word "things" does not limit the said "things" to ME. So using that logic:

1) U.S. military for fire power
2) The Food Network's Staff and provisions for uh...FOOD!
3) Reporters from CNN so the rest of ya'll can watch me live. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
4) The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. To help cheer me on to victory.
5) Howard Shore and the London Philharmonic Orchestra on flat bed trailers hauled by a fleet of 18 wheelers. Gotta have my tunes!
6) The Crocodile Hunter...To help keep a hold of Gollum..Danger, Danger, Danger.
7) A fleet of refrigerated beer trucks to keep the morale up. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
8) Mithril jumpsuits ala Elvis with matching sunglasses. Just because I'm going to the land of shadow dosn't mean I can't go stylin'.
9. Some Carmex
10. Carrot Top the comedian. I figure I'll throw him and the ring into the cracks of Doom instead of Gollum.

4) Gandalf's staff (I just like it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])
5) An airborne tanker (with refueling capacity)
6) Lots of guns
7) A tent? Nahh....an RV
8) Some water bottles

Well if we're not limiting to Middle earth things then this is my new list:

1) The One Ring
2) A helicoptor

That's all I need. I'd just get in the helicopter with the One Ring, go drop the ring into Mt. Doom and come back in a few hours.

Why couldn't the actual journey be that simple? Of course then it woundn't be as enjoyable to read. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
