Who's got the best signature?

[Meela]

Suldaledhel's sig makes my mind itch wondering what it refers to. . .

That is a good sig! I'll be wondering about that for the day now.

[Evisse the Blue]

Torn between humming Encaitare's sig or Oddwen's
(lol. I just realized Oddwen's entire profile is a lyric fest. )

[rutslegolas]

Well Evisee Your is a very cool one .

I really like the Russian line

[Esgallhugwen]

Thank you Elennar on the mention, those were two of the many rules of Horror Movies but are also suitable for real life, I mean, think about the seriousness of joking around with a demon summoning book, tsk tsk, only asking for trouble I say.

Many thanks, Rutslegolas! It's funny because it's true!
Yours is quite fun, too, and of course you're adding to the myth of....the Almighty phantom!

*reads Esga's sig* Whoa! *meep* *runs away* j/k, it's cool!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I like yours, ruts, because I seriously considered using the phantom's line as my senior quote. I ended up quoting a good friend of mine instead, but it was a close call.

[Elennar Starfire]

I like Lalwende's

Nadolig Llawen!

Welsh is such a lovely language.

Are you refferring to my current one? Its one of the random fragments that sometimes pop into my head about a story that I am currently working on about Vampires (gee couldn't ya guess).

Elennar I like yours, what's its origin, it almost sounds Shakespearian.

[Elennar Starfire]

Elennar I like yours, what's its origin, it almost sounds Shakespearian.

Thankies! Of course it sounds Shakespearean, it's the ending couplet of a Shakespearean style sonnet I wrote. And it's in iambic pentameter, like most of Shakespeare.

I'll let ye read the whole sonnet, if ye like.

[Lalwendë]

I like Lalwende's
Quote:
Nadolig Llawen!

Welsh is such a lovely language.

What intrigued me about that was that Llawen is not far removed from Lalwende! Tolkien's linguistic talent strikes again.

But alas, it is only a temporary signature, as now the festive season is drawing to a close and I must think of something else I might revive an old one...

[Lostgaeriel]

I like Diamond18's signature:

All shall be rather fond of me and suffer from mild depression.

It's such a clever down-play of Galadriel's:

All shall love me and despair!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I am intrigued by Mithalwen's new one - Most individual and bewildering ghost! It seems to twin with mine.

And yes, that is yet another of hers that I like.

[Elennar Starfire]

Diamond's is very spiffy! I quote it sometimes, after I've had a bit too much sugar.

[Esgallhugwen]

I do like your signature Eomer, how true it is, how true!

[Oddwen]

I've got to love Nilp's -

Aragorn (to Legolas as Jar-Jar): What do you expect? You're a stupid and pointless character.

One of my favorite quotes, incidentally, if I do say so myself.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I've been picking sig-material quotes from the New Movie Script, since I ran out of sig ideas, and being philosophical for long is so not me.

You like it, eh, Oddie? I thought you would.

[Oddwen]

Excellent source material of course, Nilp!

[Nimrodel_9]

bb || !bb =?

=? is right. Bêthberry`s confuses me.

"MMD Hér þurh searucræftas aþóhton and beworhton þá Nold-ielfe gimmas missenlice, 7 Féanor Noldena hláford worhte þá Silmarillas, þæt wæron Eorclanstánas." Godéðles géargetæl

And what does that mean?

[Imladris]

=? is right. Bêthberry`s confuses me

Her siggy is computer language for Two be or not to be, that is the question.

[Elennar Starfire]

Kitanna's is nice...

I have but two goals in life, to be declared legally insane and to spontaneously combust.

Sounds like fun to me!

[Kitanna]

I just kind of stumbled upon this thread and how surprised I was to see that someone actually liked my signature! Makes me quite happy.
But anywho I really liked what Gurthang has as a signature. "Why doesn't anybody go to the 'group therapy for people with fear of group therapy' meetings?"

Thanks Immy for explaining mine!

The second one is, I suspect, a translation by none other than our own The Squatter of Amon Rûdh of part of The Silmarillion into Old English. I'm not sure, as my OE is very rusty, but it could his rendition of the first paragraph of Chapter 7. I don't have my OE grammar with me or my old notes, so this is just a guess.

The last sentence of that paragraph, as Tolkien has written it in modern English, has many traits of Old English poetry--alliteration of 'l' and 's (and particularly the reversal of the sounds) ', the use of line breaks, the rhythm. If this is Squatter's translation, he has put his finger on a very fascinating feature of the style of The silm

Of course, if I am wrong I won't show my head on the Downs for at least a week.

[Sharkû]

While I commend Squatter on the nice and nicely obscure quote, he would of course deny his authorship of it: History of Middle-earth IV has the first Annals of Valinor, of which Tolkien also wrote some in Old English. Squatter's sig is one such entry (HoME IV, vi, app.). The more elaborate modern English entry reads:
"About 2500 the Noldoli invented and began the fashioning of gems; and after a while Feanor the smith, eldest son of Finwe chief of the Noldoli, devised the thrice-renowned Silmarils concerning the fates of which these tales tell. They shone of their own light, being filled with the radiance of the Two Trees, the holy light of Valinor, blended to a marvellous fire." (ibid, vi).

[Nimrodel_9]

Her siggy is computer language for Two be or not to be, that is the question.

Ah, that makes sence.

Hmm... Squatter is a very interesting person.

Got to commend Oddwen and Nimrodel_9 for continually showing their devotion to the Disco King by doing the Wave and encouraging others to do so. Boromir deserves that. Not the 88th version, unless he can challenge the incumbent King.

[the phantom]

Estel has a great Dave Barry siggy. You can't go wrong with Dave Barry.

[Evisse the Blue]

Dragoneyes':

"We might succeed in roasting Pippin alive inside." - Frodo. Sounds a little evil out of context doesn't it?

Mwahahahaha! Oh, yeah it evokes some precious mental imagery of hobbit cannibalism!
Um. Just ignore this post if you don't find this funny.

phantom - I expressed my appreciation for yours in the locations thread - everytime I see it I feel like humming it.

[Elennar Starfire]

Yes, Dragoneyes' is hilarious!

And I love Phantom's, it's my very favourite song from PotO. (Possibly excepting Twisted Every Way, I love singing that!)

And Evisse's is quite nice as well.

[the phantom]

phantom - I expressed my appreciation for yours in the locations thread

I saw that. The way you've been buttering me up lately makes me think you're going to ask me for money or something.

Or maybe you've got a thing for musical masked men.

And thanks to Lenny, as well. But how could you leave "All I Ask of You", "Point of no Return" and "TPotO" out of your favorites? Those are awesome, too.

The Angel of Music sings songs in my head, so I don't have to bother humming.

You are absolutely right, Nim. Mîm the Petty Dwarf is a most interesting character. Having met him, I am most sure he will be most amused by my suggestion. He hops fences better than he writes Old English.

Sharkey's disclosure of the HoMe quotation means, of course, that I can take full credit for perceiving the Old English structural patterns in The Silm. Which said credit I use to lessen my week's absence to three days. Sharkey had suggested I apply night sleep time to my absence to give me 'time off' for good observation, but I opted for the three days. It was easier as I was without computer access anyway

[Evisse the Blue]

Heh. I just like Phantom of the Opera. Is that a crime?

This quote here (Arry's) is beautiful:

In my mind the Star I still can find,/and the parting of the seas,/and the breath as sweet and keen as death/that was borne upon the breeze. - from Imram; J.R.R.T.

I have never heard it before. Where exactly is it from?

Oh, almost forgot: Hey, phantom, I'm a little short, and I was wondering... could you spare a few bucks?

[Elennar Starfire]

But how could you leave "All I Ask of You", "Point of no Return" and "TPotO" out of your favorites? Those are awesome, too.

Of course they are! But there has to be one that's my very favourite of favourites!

Then there are all the wonderful songs from Les Miz, and Scarlet Pimpernel, and all those other musicals!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Or maybe you've got a thing for musical masked men.

But masks are so terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future. And they're so great for covering things up... like acid burns.

And thanks to Lenny, as well. But how could you leave "All I Ask of You", "Point of no Return" and "TPotO" out of your favorites? Those are awesome, too.

I've heard a cover of TPotO done by the metal band Lacrimosa. I recommend it. The guy's voice is a wee bit screechy... but the girl... she's incredible.

Ah, that might explain the mask...and the musical ability for that matter. (Just kidding)

All this talk of musicals gets me excited. I'm in a musical! And the rehearsals start today! *starts dancing* In olden days a show of stocking was looked on as something shocking now Heaven knows...Anything Goes!

[the phantom]

And they're so great for covering things up... like acid burns.

Yeah, or blinding hotness.

Ooh, Aina, I love Anything Goes! My school did it this year.

Yeah, or blinding hotness.

Are you hinting at something, Phantom? Maybe you're jealous because Eomer's got all the fangirls...I'll be your fangirl too!

[the phantom]

Are you hinting at something, Phantom?

No.

I never hint.

I shamelessly boast and brag.

I'll be your fangirl too!

I'm flattered, my dear, but it's not that easy. I'm much pickier than Eomer. He allows non-musicians and common movie fans to swell his ranks.

In order to join The Phantom Fan Club International, you must undergo rigorous testing (physical and mental). And even if you pass you must make further sacrifices- 1) 5% of income goes to me, 2) you must give up all other clubs (an exception will be made for Saucepan Man Fan Club members), and 3) you must erect a statue of me in your living room.

If this does not daunt you, send me a pm and I will get you an application asap.

Hey, phantom, I'm a little short, and I was wondering... could you spare a few bucks?

Ask me when I finally finish school. I'll send you the money right after The Barrow-Wight gets his long overdue cut.

yea, and when you try to put shampoo in your hair, but it feels like its all tangled and it hurts your head cause your hand gets stuck in your hair...

What?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Phantom Fan Club International seems the quickest way to fame and fortune.

Are male Eldar of the high House allowed?

Is 5% of $0 still $0?
