Hehe. Too obvious, Gil.

It's another Warg scholar, a very prominent one.

I'll hazard a guess...Formendacil? It looks like something he would say, at any rate.

It was indeed Formendacil; and what a theory that post posited!

Your go, Lhuna.

It was Thinlomien in the Barrowdown pic thread. She was talking about JennyHallu in Jenny's desire to be Human not Hobbit.

narfforc is the credited response. Well done SpM. In fact this was nafforc's first ever post on the Downs. He started a thread with it.

Question

Ta morm.

Next up, a D-lightful quote:

Quote:
Dour, desperate dwarves drink draughts, demand dinner, disturbing dutiful dugout dweller. Dishes disappear during ditty. Dwarves decide dark deeds demanded during dulcet dirge describing dragon's disturbance. Dour dwarves denounce dragon, declaring duty dictates dragon's disappearance. Dwarves discourse dragon's disengagement, delightfully defiant. Dugout dweller discovers daring dignity, dumbly decreeing danger desired. Dugout dweller's dreams disturbing, destiny descends.

I remember! Liriodendron in the alliterative verse thread.... That was a few years ago.

The search function didn't work on this until I remembered her name.

Well done, Child! That's the one.

That was a fun thread.

Sauce,

Am I permitted to pass the gauntlet to you? I will be flying out on Sunday for about a week on family business. I will have some computer access, but have sworn to keep posting in a Rohan game that Durelin and I are running, and I'm not sure how much more than that I can do.

Rather than letting this thread sit dead in the water, could you "pinch hit" for me? (Unlike you football folk, I am an avid baseball fan. )

Child

Here's another one from the vaults.

You know the funny thing about “enchantment”? The more you bandy the word about, the more you try to study it and categorize it and analyze it and break it down, the more it fades into mist and, like the Faërie folk themselves, disappears.

Nope. Neither, I'm afraid.

The thread concerned is a rather infamous one in Downs history.

Gosh, so glad to hear that it wasn't one of mine. For the life of me I couldn't remember ever saying it, but you know what it's like once your posts top 1500.

I would have said davem and not Mister Underhill, though.

Leaf Threading through history

Okay, here's a history lesson for you more recent members of the Downs.

Quote:
In the spirit of irreverence not often found in the books section of the Downs (in fact, we may have to move this thread), I have done a bit of research into the elusive social mores of hobbit life.

Goodness! I remember answering that, but I didn't see Ang's reply. I'll offer a new quotation soon.

EDIT: Try this:

Work out where you'd find such a quotation. ;-)

Goodness, Eomer, way to go killing the thread.

This is as crazy a guess as any, but the single word quotation irresistibly brings burrahobbit to mind.

(Mind you, I'm doing this just to give the thread the good ol' CPR.)

Wrong Lhuna, though good guess. It comes from one of those 'so-and-so in one word' threads.
