I might note that I should've used something similar, maybe even in larger scale. For as it is said: "Do not post riddles to Miggy, for he will answer and add tenfold."

Speaking of old music, is Lalwendë's location ("Back in Black') a reference to the band AC/DC?

Thank you, thank you

Why did I put that there? Just for the fun of it, so that the ones who are asleep would wake up and the ones who aren't asleep would stay awake with their eyes wide open for the rest of their lives and whisper: "Wow, you sure did it!" Today's Monday, that's why the jokes are such...

I don't understand a word, except maybe "örkki", but what I definitely understand is "hukka". You want to scare me to death in response or what?

Possibly. Even though I've always loved the sound of that phrase, it's so funny. It used to be my favourite phrase in the whole LotR. (It is the Finnish version of "where the warg howls, there also the orc prowls"...)

Why yes, indeed. Them and The Dubliners.
I don't care much for the newer bands riding on their wake.

Heh, true in a way, but he's definately not a shoneen!

Is there a location-changing boom? It looks like about half of the 'downers have changed their locations... odd. Anyway, I would like to nominate as many as three of the new or relatively new ones:

Mithalwen

Because it sure amused me.

Hookbill
's

Location: On a Cold Wind To Valhalla
Because it sounds creepy and makes my imagination race.

and

McCaber's
Quote:
Location: The Ice-bays of the far north.
Because that's where I've always thought the penguins of Middle-Earth would live. Though they could possibly live somewhere in the Southern or Eastern shores of ME... ooh, I think I just had a vision of haradrim penguin breeders...

Why would you want to breed penguins? To ride on them into battle?

Actually, though not to get too off-topic, if you remember, Miggy, we once speculated about this... can I post that here? I will have to find it, though.

Thanks, Lommie, even though I wasn't even considering penguins at the time I wrote it. But that would be the most plausible place to find them.

*thinks of pygmy haradrim (hey, could they be some distant relation to Hobbits?) with gills using giant penguins as underwater steeds* Errr, sounds too crazy. To tell the truth I didn't take my speculation of penguin-breeders as far as to think why would they breed penguins, the image just popped to my mind.
