Screen name Quiz - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-02-2005, 05:06 PM

You're only half right. I'll give you two guesses as to which half. Very clever guess though.

the phantom · 02-03-2005, 11:00 AM

I'm going to guess that Cele is right...

Bright-> smart-> wise

Quote:

For the Lord of the Galadhrim is accounted the wisest of the Elves of Middle-earth

So, I'll say Celeborn.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-03-2005, 11:44 AM

I half want to just give it to you, seeing as how this is a really tough screen name. But Celeborn is not correct. Although... it's on the right track.

the phantom · 02-03-2005, 12:05 PM

Well...

Gormless- lacking intelligence

Take off "less" and you don't lack intelligence, right? Then you're bright.

So Celegorm?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-04-2005, 07:29 AM

We do seem to be dominating this game, do we not, my friend? The turn belongs to you.

Indeed. Let us see if we can continue the streak.

The new screen name... Swampy_Pond_Faucet

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-09-2005, 09:29 PM

Swampy_Pond_Faucet

A fine quiz my friend, and after wracking my brains for hours, I've got it. I think. At least I'm pretty darned sure.

A swampy pond would be a mere. A famous faucet (or actually, Fawcett), was Farrah. Farrah+mere equals Faramir, my raven-haired hero.

Fea

the phantom · 02-09-2005, 09:38 PM

Attention, members of the The Barrow-Downs- Feanor of the Peredhil has a lovely brain, I repeat, Feanor of the Peredhil has a lovely brain.

Your turn, m'lady.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-14-2005, 03:05 PM

Ah, a lovely brain. My ego is purring. Try this on for size, friends:

Gone_Fishing

the phantom · 02-14-2005, 03:14 PM

Well first, just because I know someone else will guess this if I don't, I simply must guess Gollum since that's the first thing everyone thinks of when they hear "fish".

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-14-2005, 03:17 PM

Gollum is wrong. One of the many reasons I picked that name.

the phantom · 02-14-2005, 03:20 PM

Well, "fishing" can mean "trolling", so how 'bout Hurin? He went "trolling" one day and caught quite a few with that axe of his.

the phantom · 02-14-2005, 03:26 PM

Or perhaps Bill and his troll companions who got hit with the sun's troll-be-gone ray.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-14-2005, 06:40 PM

It is not Hurin or Bill. *Hint* think of my usual style... it is not exactly a straight clue either way.

Fea

And here I thought this one was absurdly simple...

the phantom · 02-14-2005, 07:56 PM

Well... every time I call up Ulmo's office in Valinor, they always tell me he's "gone fishing".

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-15-2005, 07:32 AM

Not a Vala.

the phantom · 02-15-2005, 12:18 PM

Then what about Elrond's daddy?

the phantom · 02-15-2005, 02:51 PM

Or Boromir, who took off down the Anduin towards the sea and never returned.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-15-2005, 05:05 PM

No and no. I really thought this was... easier.

*hint* Fea likes synonyms.

Fea [who probably just gave away the answer...]

arcticstorm · 02-15-2005, 07:47 PM

gone-fishing is a synonym for taking a holiday, so, how about Bilbo?

Gil-Galad · 02-15-2005, 10:17 PM

Elwing maybe?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-16-2005, 09:40 AM

Still no, although I am impressed by some of these guesses. I'll give another hint... Gone_Fishing has zilch to do with actually catching fish.

the phantom · 02-16-2005, 10:22 AM

Okay...

Let's say "fishing" is supposed to give us "rod".

That makes me think Finrod.

"gone" -> fin?

Well, when something is over it says "Fin", and when it's over it's "gone", right?

So that's my guess.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-16-2005, 01:24 PM

And the phantom is right again. I call attention to everyone in the 'Downs! The phantom is incredibly brilliant!

Fea

thats a first....

on with the next question phantom!

the phantom · 02-21-2005, 05:47 PM

Jealousy is an ugly thing, Gil.

Fea's flattery, on the other hand...

New name-

Lap_of_a_Young_Lady

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-21-2005, 08:09 PM

Legolas

Leg- Lap
Young lady- Lass

Edit: The phantom is wonderful and all his questions are brilliantly constructed. *angelic*

the phantom · 02-22-2005, 02:57 PM

Glad to see that edit, missie.

(Fea and I weren't going to give the thread to you till you used a more respectful tone

)

But you only got "lap"-> "leg" and "a young lady"-> "las". You forgot "of"-> "o".

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-22-2005, 03:29 PM

"Fea and I"? Where in that flattering post did you see a compliment paid to me?

I don't think I want to give up that easily.
So since Sophia forgot the 'o', does that mean I can pretend I got it? Kidding, kidding.

In all seriousness (at least... in mostly seriousness... no wait... it's all) CONGRATULATIONS SOPHIA!!!!! For anybody who hasn't noticed, Sophia has just broken a long line of dominance. That takes some serious brains and I would totally rep her for it... only I have to "spread some around" first.

Fea

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-22-2005, 05:00 PM

Long line of dominance... w00t! Er, I mean, now I have to come up with one of these things... *grumbles*

I'll be in my cave with my thesaurus if you need me.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-13-2005, 02:48 PM

And it's mine again!

THE_donkey_horse

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-24-2005, 09:28 AM

THE_donkey_horse

Okay... not so hard. Think along the lines of 'Downs members for the first part.
