my best shot, Diamond, since you invite them-

"Why would I read the book when I can see the movie?!?" (spoken in very stereotypically blond tones)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: I could never ever stay up all night browsing the BDs!
or
CS Lewis sucks!

Diamond18: Why should I want to write a book when I could become a Backstreet Boys groupie??

The one about Sophia gave me an idea: me: No, I, uh, never sneak online at night, really!!

Cheers Mate [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the Archer: Rp what? I don't have time writing storys. Ill just be over there admiring the beautifull mating dance of the rainwurm.

One Axe to Rule them All: Who needs Gimli? Dwarves are such losers!

Oddwen: What's with all this "Do the wave" jazz?

LOL!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

But hey, I could appreciate rainworms as much as anyone! If they existed, there would be much appreciating from this corner! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh they excist okay.

And yet, Birdie, I would say that...if I was having pronoun difficulties. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Fruedian slip. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I plead the Wee Hours of the Morning After Spending Too Much Time at the Party Defense.

It's actually kind of frightening—I can do a pretty good valley girl impersonation. The horror of it all...

Annun, you win the Mithril Diamond Necklace Replica Award for the Most Fittingly Wicked Opposite Quote Pertaining to Moi. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm shameless... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

*shudder* You're closer than you know...ever since seeing "Chicago" win best picture, I've vowed never to use that "Jazz" phrase again...*shudder*

AAAH! I would never say that! Annun's on fire with these... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Diamond18: Ugh! I despise parody and punnery. They most definately rank equally as the lowest form of humour.

obloquy: But surely it is fundamental to the understanding of Tolkien's works to establish precisely what Legolas looked like.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: Nope, I just can't be bothered to go and look that one up.

... OK, so that last one brings to mind the words pot, kettle and black [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Me: No, I don't have any homework, and in any case, I've already done it!

~Menelien

No wonder you never look tired.

Hire Mithadan, then. I hear he gives discounts to his...best girls.

Moi? I resent such wicked type-casting.

Sincerely Enraged, Xenophobic, and Young,
Lush.

....Lest I forget:

Diamond: "Double entendre? Is that, like, a new kind of gum?"

Legolas: "Thanks, but no thanks. I've no time for a Tolkien forum. Have to make room for beer and fishin'. Hope ye understand."

Naughty Naughty.

Why would you want to becaome a Backstreet Boys groupie when they're about to fall apart into their own individual bands ( to much fun with their fame... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )? I've always hated them anyway....back to the topic now! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

It's because I'm a Supremely Energetic Xenophile, Interested in Extensive Resting.

Naughty. Naughty, naughty, naughty. That's all I can think of to say...

To rebound from that display of sputtering speechlessness:

The Saucepan Man: "Children's books? You have got to be kidding me."

Lush: "I would never insinuate anything about a mod, much less an admin!"

Beren87: "I have a new idea for a Quiz: it's where you don't take turns asking/answering, you just throw whatever you can think of out there as fast as you can. A spam race, if you will. It'll be fun!"

Beren87: Nooooo! That question is TOOOOO hard!

Durelin- I want to RP as a nice feminine character, preferably one who likes flowers.

What a grand way to live! You hardly need any advice from a hag like myself, except a reminder that I am, in turn, Nice, Articulate, Understanding, Generous, Hardy, Tardy, and Intellectually Entrenched in the Right. You couldn't find a more hard-core right-winger than I if you turned the entire state of Alabama upside down.

But back to the topic:

Rimbaud: "If Arthur Rimbaud were alive today, he'd shop at the GAP."

Squatter: "I'll do anything to please anyone."

Legolas: "Orlando rox da house indeed!"

Legolas does not like Orlando Bloom? How ironic. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pardon? No, that would be him saying Legolas was cool, ie, he does like him.

I'm about ready to on some of gilraën's questions. Not having the letters is quite a drawback.

And Diamond, I simply despise people who don't take turns. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Any Downer: I am glad that they left the Barrow Downs out of the movie. I mean it would be a whole lot more confusing to see where those three Hobbits got their swords from. And that way they did not have to put that annoying Thomas Bombadil in. And why did we need him anyway? Pippin and Meriadoc could just have died in that ehm what is it called? Oh yes the Whomping Willow.(for people who don't know it, that is a tree from Harry Potter [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]) It is not as if those two have done any good. Well, I don't know since I don't read the second book. I stopped at the tree cuz that Bombadil fellow came. I think that J.K. Tolkien made a serious mistake there. I think he should have stopped after the Hobbit anyway.

I don't think you are gonna see that on the downs [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Or maybe...

Any mod: ooh! Looky! A discussion about the importance of antibacterial soap in our daily lives... wonderful.

~Menelien

Arvedui III-The Matrix? Now what the heck is so great about it?

Maika-A colourful tent! Thats exactly what my character needs!

Helka-Please, please, your too kind, Im not that great!

Carlas[Me]-I only eat because I have to!

Burrahobbit: Yes, I'm a Christian.

Me: Anarchy rules, life is madness, rock on!

Barrow-Wight: The Downs is a self sufficient organization, money's no problem here!

Actualy, I have said that many times Carlas. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I think that the mods would most certainly not post that they would like the conversation. They would just say: Soap is not of the essence. Please get back on topic.

It would be funny of Bethberry would say: Yeah I have seen that movie, it totaly rocked. Did you know that the soundtrack from my little pony was written by the same artist that did the cuddlebears?

I would be very surprized. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hmmm...OK, I've got a few [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]:

Barrow-Wight – Oh, you’re all welcome to post whatever you want! Go on, post!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh: watz wrong wiv my riting????

Niluial (when a newbie asks her for help): Oh, git lost. I’m busy!

Legolas: Nazgirls welcome!

Balin999: I LOVE Balrogs!!

Phew, OK, I can’t think of anymore. *sighs and leans back in the chair* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Niluial: I'm bored. You people are BORING! Bored, bored, bored...

Aman: I really can't be bothered to reply on my RPGs. Too much like hard work.

Helka: Geez people, get back on topic!

Hey… lol I never really took note of this topic. I read through all elven pages, just about to cry and thankfully Lyra Greenleaf and Tarien Ithil said something about me! Thank you [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Lol…. Nope I would NEVER say that.. he he [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
That will be the day [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is fun ummm….. ok I am not too good at this but I’ll give it a try!

Tarien Ithil – I hate bubbly people, they really get on my nerves! Why can’t Barrow-Wight just ban GladarieloftheOlden and Nilual so they will NEVER ever come back!

Lyra Greenleaf – Oh I just hate green… and my avatar it sucks!!! Oh this website sucks, my friends sucks, my name suck ALL OF YOU ARE SOOOO STUPID!! Why do I even bother coming on here?

GladarieloftheOlden – Did you know I only spend 5 minutes on Barrow-Downs?

Barrow-Wight – I luv it wen peeps rite wit chat talk, don’t u?

Helkahothion – Oh I wish I were better looking. Me aragant oh please since when? I could never be perfect.. I don’t even think I am 1% perfect (GladarieloftheOlden says: Helky likes Niluial, Helky likes Niluial) Helky replies: Ewww…. I hate Niluial, she is so stupid! Me this marvellous person… like her? You must be joking!!

All I can think of now.. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

*Aman chokes, holding heart, breathing heavily. Regains breath* Please, dont scare me...

You've got me down to a tee. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Where do you get that idea of me? I'll bet it's Durelin. SHe came up with the hairy dutchman thing. (which I am NOT!!!)

Piosenniel: Okay this proposal sucks. TRy again and find the error's you're self. What me help you? You got to be kidding me. I don't have time for such utter nonsence. I'm a mod, I only critisize people and don't pay attention. Be gone you ignorant newbie and if you ever try to get into an RPG I will ban you from the site. You have to learn RPGing yet? Tough luck baby, this is my town and I hold the scepter. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Um... Hairy Dutchman... what??? Where??

Hehehe... *pops idea*
Tarien Ithil: I will become a hermit. I am never speaking to you people again. This place is just so dull!
*new idea*
Niluial: I will now procede to spell Galadriel's name correctly! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (Just kidding Nil, I don't mind.) Me: Helka? Like Niluial? What the heck are you talking about? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~Menelien

A few for our darling Helky... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Helka: I love you all, you're such dear kind people, I would never insult any of you!

Helka: Bethberry! Let me give you a hand! Can I help you in any way?

Helka: *in stern voice* Now, really, this isn't on topic! Get right back to it, or I'm alerting the Barrow Wight!

Helka: Spelling is very important you know... I pride myself on always having perfect spelling!

Helka: *blushing* Oh no, I'm really a no-body. Oh please stop, all this attention is really embarassing me!

Since it seems to be pick on Helka day (or maybe week.. or month... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) I guess I'll take a turn, too. This is inspired by our lovely chats on MSN:

Helka: RPing? What? Who cares! I'm never gonna RP in my life! I mean, it takes soooo much time... I have a life you know! I think everyone else should see my way, too. Nobody else should start RPing.... Ever!

Me: no really, I'm just like I am here when I'm alive... not dull at all, certainly. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Edit: or...
Either myself or Sophia: I've got perfect sleep patterns, really. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[ May 19, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

Iarwain: Morality? Well, it's very black and white really. No point in getting into a deep discussion about it.

Legolas: Tolkien's letters have absolutely nothing to add to our understanding of Tolkien's works.

Saucepan Man- I'm all for censorship... Don't let the little brats read what they want to, they might develop into free thinking individuals. *shudders*

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sorry Saucy, I know it's utterly horrifying, but I couldnt stop myself.

Menelien- you ought to add Mr. Saucepan Man to the list about irregular sleep habits as well... it's quarter till four in his timezone, is it not?!

Oh my word!!! I cant believe this.. Galadriel whom is only one of my best buddies on Barrow-Downs… I CANT EVEN SPELL HER NAME CORECTLY!! The sorrow.. the shame!!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: MOMMY!! (runs in moms bedroom crying) the thunder is scaring me!!

Barrow-Wight: (goes on hands and knees) my fellow chat.. *ahem* forum buddies… you are all so amazing and I am in aww of all of you (starts kissing Helky’s feet, and worshiping him)!!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
