Aman, have I ever mentioned that I love your location? It always makes me smile. Sounds like my definition of Valinor.

I like the Perky Ent's location!

Upon this hither shore.

Mithalwen's just caught my eye because (whether she got it from here or not) it is part of a line in one of my favorite LotR poems, Galadriel's "Leaves of Gold" song:

Quote:

Oh Lorien! Too long I have dwelt upon this hither shore...

Mithalwen · 04-24-2005, 01:33 PM

Thank you ... and if you look at my profile.. your question should be answered!

You haven't no, but thank you! Only the very best of the Wizard of Oz....

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-24-2005, 06:44 PM

Firefoot, I like yours as well.

And Aman... can you really separate the Wizard of Oz into best and worst? Oh yes... the flying monkeys were the worst. They terrified me as a small child. But can you imagine lemon drops in Valinor? Wouldn't that be perfect...

elronds_daughter · 04-26-2005, 06:00 PM

Fea's location makes me smile.... And my own (as much I love it) freaks me out--yes, me. The one who put it there. It frightens me.

ElementFire · 04-27-2005, 12:09 PM

I like Elrond's Daughter's location. It doesn't exactly freak me out, but it's amusing. -EF

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-27-2005, 02:53 PM

Bonus points, Eddy, if you know where my location is from.

My current favorite location is Lal's. I only just learned what a forkeyped is.

elronds_daughter · 04-27-2005, 05:33 PM

Oh, but I do know, Fea. That's why it makes me smile. "Me and Julio Down By the School Yard", of course.

the phantom · 05-05-2005, 12:28 PM

Every time I see Boro88's location "Ohio" I think of the Drew Carey show theme song where he yells "Ohio!!" at the end.

And I'm sure every Star Wars fan here on the Downs thinks AbercrombieOfRohan's "Herding nerfs" is great.

Amanaduial the archer · 05-25-2005, 04:55 PM

Fea - glad to know I wasn't the only one scared by the monkeys! I had a recurring nightmare that they would come for me, just swoop in in the night and steal me away. That was, of course, before my self-esteem plummetted and I realised with a certain amount of resigned gloom that there ain't no one gonna try to steal me away. Funny how one's perspective changes, ain't it?

Quote:

But can you imagine lemon drops in Valinor? Wouldn't that be perfect...

Most certainly: they shall be served from delicate silver boxes in my Valinor, the communion wafers are served from, the sort I have always imagined the witch using for the turkish delight in the wizard of Oz when she gives it to Edmund. And there shall be sugared almonds, rose and white...

Turkish delight, almonds and lemon drops - Oh My!

That's very similar to something that happened in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe...including the Edmund character.

I'll second Lhuna's recommendation. That made me chuckle the first time I noticed it.

Durelin · 07-01-2005, 12:03 PM

I just noticed Bethberry's "over the hills and far away".

I love it...in fact, I almost made that my location just a little while ago! I'm glad I didn't, simply to save myself from embarrassment.

Somewhat of an oxymoron,

unless your talking about the gingerbread house from Hansel & Grettel(sp?).

Very funny.

Shelob · 09-04-2005, 01:57 PM

It is, I believe, taken from the same line in The Brothers Grimm the first part of my signature is. In either case it is very entertaining.

Of course it is. That was such a fantastic line... right up there with "it's not magic, it's just shiny."

This brought back memories!

Except its more InsanelySoreHandsTown(if that sounds weird its cause I have something like arthritis in my hands) but the MajorHeadacheVille is right on the money.

Grieg, actually.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-25-2005, 11:55 PM

Not a song, there are no lyrics. And no, it's not from The Hall of the Mountain King. Although it’s a very cool thing! (Being known as The "Alton Towers" theme tune to most of us in Blightly).

Try again.
